I did not do the survey because it really does not matter to me.
However, I do not like anyone to call a mixed breed "MUTTS".
I find this word to be disrespectfull to those who have a mixed breed.
My son and DIL recently purchased one of those designer dogs, for lack
of a better word. I could not figure out why anyone would pay $1,000.00
for a pup with no papers. He is beautiful and I love him.
He is a cavapoo from a breeder in GA. His mother was a mimi poodle
and father a King Charles Cavilier Spaniel. I know there are so very many
dogs in shelters who need loving homes but if someone wishes to pay this
large amount of money that's their business. We all know shelter dogs
are so much less but there is not a thing we can do about it.
I have always had rescues and was completely happy with them.
They were always a mixbreed and were wonderful loving, smart pets.
Buddy is my first purebreed pet! We each have a different reason for
what we do and just have to respect it.
I don't believe there is a Mutt in the entire world!
