The only time I have seen a dog referred to as a "mutt" is when it is said affectionately and in jest. And furthermore.....the only time I see anything negative about mixed breeds is when someone comes on here asking if they bought a purebred or not. Then we have to tell the person that they have been charged a high price for a dog that is supposed to be a yorkie but is instead a mixed breed. The negative factor isn't about the dog it is about a nasty breeder that lies for money! I'm sure the members that show their dogs can explain the damage that such lies can do to the breed itself.
I'm not a breeder and I don't own a mixed breed but I firmly believe that when two breeds are combined the offspring gets the best of both.
So if you think someone was bashing mixed breeds, then send them a pm and tell them you are offended. I'm sure you will get a sincere apology.
