Breeders who responsibly create a hybrid breed for sporting or companion purposes. Doesn't matter if all applicable health testing is done and every puppy has a home in advance before it's even born, people seem to immediately think backyard breeder if a dog isn't purebred.
I think this applies to every breeder, regardless if they do pure breeds or trendy mutts.
I'd rather mix breeds gain popularity than pure breeds
The man who created Labradoodles regrets his actions
Can we find the pug guy? Theres someone responsible for some animal suffering
But pugs are "purebred" which further highlights the point. A pug crossbreed with a longer-snouted breed would probably be healthier. You can't reliably criticize hybrid breeds without criticizing breeding as a whole.
All breeds were created by crossbreeding. But for some reason the society invented a cutoff point beyond which crossbreeding is not okay.
How come?
Because Labradoodles wound up very cute but inherited all the bad traits from both breeds and almost none of the good. Just a bundle of nerves and health issues, or so Ive heard/read
