Designer Dogs often cost 25% to 50% more than Purebreds!
The American Canine Hybrid Club recognizes 615 designer breeds.
Designer Dogs are the offspring of two purebreds, and often cost 25% to 50% more than purebreds.
Despite the controversy, designer breeds have made a mark on the $60 billion pet market by commanding high prices that often exceed their purebred counterparts.
So long as the market continues to demand them, Yorkie-poos, Pekeapoos, Morkies, and Schnoodles are here to stay.

A lot of designer dog breeders use the poodle to create the new breed.
Here is information about why the poodle is chosen.
THE MOST INTELLIGENT POODLE.
The Poodle is commonly acknowledged to be the most wisely intelligent of all members of the canine race. There is a general belief that he is a fop, whose time is largely occupied in personal embellishment, and that he requires a great deal of individual attention. It may be true that to keep him in exhibition order and perfect cleanliness his owner has need to devote more consideration to him than is necessary in the case of many breeds; but in other respects he gives very little trouble, and all who are attached to him are consistent in their opinion that there is no dog so intensely interesting and responsive as a companion.
The profuse and long coat of this dog has the peculiarity that if not kept constantly brushed out it twists up into little cords which increase in length as the new hair grows and clings about it. At the same time, this coat needs to be trimmed as it is considered non-shedding. This is a real advantage to a poodle owner, as there are no hairs shed around the house like other breeds.
The poodle's qualities of mind and his acute powers of reasoning are indeed so great that there is something almost human in his attractiveness and his devotion. His aptitude in learning is never denied, and many are the stories told of his marvelous talent and versatility.
Not merely as a showman's dog has he distinguished himself. He is something more than a mountebank of the booths, trained to walk the tight rope and stand on his head. He is an adept at performing tricks, but it is his alertness of brain that places him apart from other animals.
Poodle's General appearance
---------------------------
Head: Long, straight, and fine, the skull not broad, with a slight peak at the back.
Muzzle: Long (but not snippy) and strong not full in cheek; teeth white, strong, and level; gums black, and lips black.
Eyes: Almond shaped, very dark, full of fire and intelligence.
Nose: Black and sharp.
Ears: The leather long and wide, low set on, hanging close to the face.
Neck: Well proportioned and strong, to admit of the head being carried high and with dignity.
Feet: Rather small, and of good shape, the toes well arched, pads thick and hard.
Legs: Fore-legs set straight from shoulder, with plenty of bone and muscle.
Hind-legs: Very muscular and well bent, with the hocks well let down.
Tail: Set on rather high, well carried, never curled or carried over back.
Coat: Very profuse, and of good hard texture; if corded, hanging in tight, even cords; if non-corded, very thick and strong, of even length, the curls close and thick, without knots or cords.

Yorkie-Poo Puppy (non-shedding)
Country of Origin: The Yorki Poo (also known as a Yorkie Poo, Yorkipoo, or Yorkie Doodle) is a cross between a Yorkshire Terrier and a Poodle. Poodle crossbreeds are meant to produce a dog with mixed traits and the Poodle’s signature nonshedding coat. As a crossbreed, the Yorki Poo is not eligible for registration with purebred registries such as the American Kennel Club, but it can be registered with the American Canine Hybrid Club, as ‘Yorkie Poo’. The Yorki Poo is not considered a purebred because it doesn’t ‘breed true’, meaning that it doesn’t display a consistent set of characteristics. Like other ‘designer breeds’, the Yorki Poo has seen a recent surge in popularity. Some breeders produce Yorki Poos by crossing a purebred Poodle with a purebred Yorkshire Terrier (called a first generation cross), but others allow crossing Yorki Poos with Poodles or Yorkshire Terriers (called a backcross), or with other Yorki Poos (called a multi-generation cross). Different crosses can result in different characteristics.
Size: The Yorki Poo has an average shoulder height of 7-12 in (18-30 cm) and weighs 4-15 lbs (2-7 kg). The Yorki Poo can have the long, narrow snout of the Poodle or the small, flat head of the Yorkshire Terrier. Yorki Poos can have straight ‘Poodle tails’ or the high carried tail of the Yorkie.
Coat: The Yorki Poo can have a long, straight, silky coat like the Yorkshire Terrier, a fine frizzy, wooly coat like the Poodle, or anything in between. Yorki Poos come in a wide variety of colors, such as brown, silver, grey, and white. Many are two-toned in a pattern similar to the Yorkshire Terrier, with a cream or chestnut body, legs, and mask, and grey or silver on the collar, top of the head, and ears. The Yorki Poo usually sheds little, making it a great breed for allergy sufferers.
Character: The Yorki Poo is energetic, happy, brave, and intelligent. It is alert, loving, cheerful, and very clever. Yorki Poos make great watchdogs. The Yorki Poo wants to be involved in family activity. It makes a great companion. Yorki Poos are fairly active, but not as hyper as some other small breeds. The Yorki Poo is not mischievous but can occasionally be stubborn.
Temperament: The Yorki Poo gets along well with strangers, children, dogs, and other pets. Socialization when young is recommended. Young children should be supervised around the Yorki Poo to ensure they treat it respectfully.
Care: Brush the Yorki Poo weekly and bathe as needed. Keep its hair trimmed out of ears and eyes. The Yorki Poo has a lifespan of up to 15 years. Like other hybrids, Yorki Poos tend to have fewer health problems than purebreds (known as ‘hybrid vigor’). Potential problems are hypoglycemia (particularly for puppies), musculoskeletal problems, and eye problems such as distichia and cataracts. Yorki Poos under 3 pounds are especially susceptible to diarrhea, vomiting, tracheal collapse, anesthesia sensitivity, and injury.
Training: The Yorki Poo is highly trainable and has a high desire to please. It can easily learn a wide variety of amusing tricks. The Yorki Poo is easier to housetrain than a purebred Yorkshire Terrier.
Activity: The Yorki Poo does not require a lot of exercise. Most of its exercise requirements can be met through indoor activity, but Yorki Poos love going on walks with their owner and regular play time outdoors, and have enough stamina to come alongside for a longer jog. The Yorki Poo is well suited to apartment life.
