I do not think anyone is saying that mixed bred dog or purebred dogs are not both equally beautiful, cute, adorable etc...I think that people, such as myself are worried about over-population of these animals which we all hold precious...Purebred or not...
As for the dogs "value"...Wheter Sammi was 200 bucks or 1800 bucks I feel in love with her...Her "value" to me is not monetary...It it WAY WAY more than that...I think the whole "debate" to me is just people seeing what is in the shelters (mostly mixed breeds) and trying to prevent it from getting even more overpopulated...
I hope I made some kinda sense...I have not had my coffee yet
