Oh Ok. I thought your were referring to the ad in the paper. I dont think anyone here meant to say anything bad about mixed breed dogs. At least I hope not. Maybe they were just talking about people purposely mixing them and then trying to sell them for the same amount as a purebreed when in fact they are still a mixed breed?????????They are concerned with this practice because the shelters are already full of mixed dogs and they are intentionally breeding them to make money. People would rather see folks go to the shelters and adopt the ones that are there or going to be put to sleep if they are thinking about buying a mixed breed dog. I hope your feelings werent hurt and I dont think anybody was meaning anything bad about your dog or anyone elses. Just wanting to save all of the others from an uncertain future because they are being placed in shelters. Also I was always taught that the word to use for a mixed breed dog is a mutt. It is not to be offensive, but just what many people refer to as a mixed breed dog. I have had several "mutts" over my lifetime and loved them just as much.
