Well I love my designer breed if that is what my little maltipoo is called. I came to this forum to find out information about puppies as she is only 4 months old and it sure hasnt made me feel very good. I didnt think anything was wrong with buying a cross breed until I came on here, they have been around for years, the reason for them being expensive is just because there is a demand for them, purebreeds are twice as expensive, nothing has really changed. Same reason my home has doubled in price in the last couple years - things get expensive, supply and demand.
I think there are alot of people on here that think they are high and mighty and think they are better than others, I thought this forum was to discuss all dogs or is it just purebreeds, I dont know I came across it accidently and wish I hadnt. My little dog is very much like a maltese and have been on maltese forums, they knew she wasnt a purebreed, but they never acted like you people do on here, answered any questions I had on her and never once came down on me for having her.

You love your dog. Nobody doubts that. You are glad you have her. Good! You should be! I'm sure she's wonderful and perfect for you. But there are thousands and thousands of dogs killed everyday because of irresponsible breeders and many of us want to stop that (slow it down) through education.
This is not an attack on you at all. I know your situation and that you have a good heart. I'm just trying to explain where some people are coming from.
