The issue is that poor breeders are typically using very low quality animals to create these designer breeds. Low quality animals = health problems. It's also supporting a terribly unethical industry that has very little standards and guidelines. Because so many of these breeders are just breeding for money, proper health care, vet checks, and genetic tests have usually been skipped. In small breed designer dogs, this can create SEVERE problems, like knee issues, weak bones, skin problems, eye problems, teeth problems, etc. If you want a mutt, go to the pound or to a shelter. There is NO reason to pay a breeder to create what there are so many of in shelters.
