I wanted a cat as most of you are aware, I was prepared to go to a rescue centre, not having a cat-flap would have been easy to resolve. Living more than 150 yards away from a main road was something I couldn't resolve.
The kittens I have today are the only ones I have paid for they were £35 each because a home couldn't be found for Sweep he cost me £10. I knew exactly what I was buying.
At the moment crossbreeds are popluar which I think started with the labradoodle, the breed has a specific purpose but crossbreeding has become fashionable, provided you can say its a benmaine or whatever.
I don't think people are looking at crossbreeds as a cheap alternative to a pedigree they are looking for a fashionable name, a separate breed altogether and breeders are supplying the demand.
