Why not?
This reasoning is not logical imo. A breeder who breeds two different purebreds together
also pays for their dogs, with care and puts money into them....
Why is the mixed breed dog of less value to you if all else is the same, it's cute, great personality, healthy? What is really the difference?
I don't understand your argument.
IMO people who try to make this argument shouldn't complain that people who buy the mixed or socalled "designer" breeds are into the "status" thing because it could be argued that it is the person who owns the purebred who is really the "status" lover and wants a purebred so they can be proud and people will know they paid more. it makes sense since they value the purebred so much more.
I do not believe this but the argument can easily be turned around.
