this is a quote from the Pam Green link above:

Designing for performance: Let's face it: all purebred dog breeds started out as mixes. Doberman pinschers were a designer dog created from several breeds (including Rottweilers and some terriers) in Germany at the turn of the last century. Around the same time, Americans were developing the Boston terrier, starting with the mix of bulldogs and terriers. Even ancient breeds were selectively created at some time by humans who were crossing the best hunting dogs or the best herding dogs. That same kind of creative breeding is going on today.



It is not going to stop- Improve hopefully!

Malteses are the only dog that never had anything bred with them..but, every other breed did...it took years and years to get the purebred
