they are attempting to popularize new "breeds" of dogs, which they can then sell for hundreds of dollars - it's the new thing (remember when chihuahuas were ALL over the place?).*** just a quick warning to anyone taken in by the trend, these designer dogs are too new to have predictable traits when fully grown. a friend of mine paid $600 for a "morkie" (maltese x yorkie). the dog was supposed to be three pounds fully grown but is now pushing ten and not even close todone, although he is not overweight by anymeans just really big.
