Don't you think the lucky wild creatures that avoided our sometimes worrying logic in the case of the poor Yorkipoos should be left to their own devises?
I don't think mixing breeds is bad for the dogs themselves - my sister has a maltipoo (maltese + poodle), and he's like the cheerfullest dog ever. Although he's still having trouble figuring out which leg to lift when (sometimes it's the front one, and sometimes it's when he poops), but I don't think that has much to do with his breed.
But as unfortunate names go, it gets a lot worse than yorkipoo. If you cross a shitzu with a poodle you get a shitpoo.
