I disagree. If I wanted a mixed bred pup I would go to the shelter as there are a ton available. A RESPONSIBLE breeder breeds the quality and standards for each breed to continue to best qualities. Are you having the purchasers of your pups sign an agreement to not breed their pups or does this just mushroom to overpopulation of a mixbreed pup.
My first corgi was a great gal, wonderful personality. But I would not breed her because she had a severe turned out paw and one little flaw prevents me as a RESPONSIBLE person to not breed a flaw. Now my current puppy has a coat too short for a cardigan corgi. Most pet owners would think SO? Well I'm sorry but the standard for cardigans is a coat to withstand the weather for herding cattle. It doesn't matter that my dog won't ever see a cow. I believe in the standard otherwise buying a corgi, I won't know what I am getting.
