Hybrids

Are hybrids very common? It's a topic that seems to be rather hot lately. Do alot of irresponsible breeders pass many hybrids as fancy coloured pures? I'm curious to know

unfortunately some breeders ( not the good ones) try and sell hybrids as pure's.
A good breeder will let you know , one way or the other what exactly you are buying.

You should get what you pay for

Touchy subject, too many people get cranky on this one. I know that some breeders pass them off as pure. I like hybrids but they need to be sold as such!!

I agree that they should definately be labelled as a cross breed. It's not fair otherwise. I can also understand why people get touchy about it. I mean, dog breeders get cranky with cross breed dogs. I don't think cross breeds should be bred from at all. All sorts of weird gene could come out of it! But i'd rather support the breeding of pures rather then hybrids. I guess it's because this is our natives we're talking about..
