Knock it off already..

I find it really rude when people on here say that a mixed breed or "mutt" is not as smart, or deserves not as good as a life as a purebred. Just so you know I have a yorkie poo, and he is very smart and the greatest companion I've ever heard. And I would love to have a Yorktese. I'm not saying that purebred dogs are not as good as a mixed bred, all I'm saying, is if you have nothing nice to say dont say it at all.


Sorry, just had to vent......

AMEN!
Although I have 2 purebreds, I also have 2 no so pure breds.... honestly, my "not so pure" lab is the smartest animal period that I have ever been around!
I loove all my babies just the same...

I can honestly say I can't recall reading a single post on YT where they were putting down mutts. Now, I have read where some have issues with the purposeful breeding of mixes, but that to me, is different than picking on the mixes themselves.

I'm sorry if this has happened to you.

I don't believe I saw that thread and I guess I am glad I didn't for many reasons. Any dog, pruebreed or mixed, to me, is not better than the other.
It's just a matter of preference. I have had both and Buddy is no better
than the mixes I had. I loved them all the same and the mixes were just
as loving and smart as Buddy. Actually I find the prue breed more needy
in many ways than the mixes.
I hate the word "Mutts". To me anyone who uses it only has love for
the pruebreed. There are no mutts in this world only dogs made up of
more than one breed just like a Yorkie is. All deserve a loving home and
a mommy to call their very own.

Ditto.

Well I called them "mixed breed" and I love them. I have had several and they were all smart. Patty

Was that posted here on YT? I've never seen anyone putting down mixed breed dogs. I've only seen posts referring to the lack of ethicality when it comes to breeding mixes.

In my above post I used the term "mutts" as it was used by OP. Personally, it doesn't offend me and I've had mixes in the past, as well as currently (Kirby is a mix). I usually shy away from using that term, however, even when describing my own critters since I have learned that it does offend some.

My apologies if I offended.

Precisely. Breeders that purposely mix breeds then sell them for hundreds of dollars are the only ones that I see being put down.

You didn't offened me in anyway. I posted after you did.
I have called my own dogs mutts playfully of course but don't let anyone
else. That's like calling our kids a brat but don't let anyone else.
I didn't see the original thread either. You just gotta love them all no
matter what.

When I was a little, we had a little mixed breed, well he was maybe 30lbs, I don' tknow i was a really little girl, but he was the best dog ever! He had a long husky like tail, short little legs w/ a chubby body like a weiner dog, and a long snout. I think he was part shepard or something..but that dog was my favorite. I would love to adopt a mixed breed in the future.

[diggy4]

I too have never read anything derogitory about a mixed breed???
I would have been very offended if I had, and if there is a post on here saying something bad about them I'd like to know.

[DieselBoy<3]

I'm not trying to start a controversy here. I just saw something that upset me about mixed breeds, not going to say any names, because again I dont want a huge ordeal. I just want to let that person know they are rude and disgusting. And i love my baby even though he's a "Mutt", which by the way I hate that word. A dog is a dog, no matter what kind, color, shape, or size. They all deserve love and care.
