I think you misunderstood my post.
I have always used and heard the term "mutt" used to describe any dog that is not pure bred...I am truly sorry if that offended you. (I really didn't know there was a politically correct term that I should be using.) Yes, I
hate anyone using their dogs as a main source of income and trying to pull in big $$$ from breeding dogs...ANY dogs, be they 'crossbreeds' or pure bred. For that I do not apologize. I have nothing against any dogs...the best dog I ever owned was a Heinz 57 who knows what. However, I do not see the purpose of purposely mixing breeds "just because" they are in demand with no regard for the long term effects those actions have. Thus far, I have yet to run into a breeder of 'designer dogs' who had a reason for doing so other than because "they're cute" or because "they sell." I don't think that any dog, regardless of breed is any lesser than the next, I just think there are alot of breeders who have questionable priorities. I am very sorry if I offended you or Miss Bella...that was certainly not my intention.
