I would never consider any one dog to be 'lesser' than the next just because of the breed or combination of breeds they are.

I agree. I think many of the people that have stated they disagreed with crossbreeding have also said it was nothing against the pups being brought into this world.
I love all dogs, I don't care what they are made of, just like people. But more than anything I am trying to understand why a person would mix breeds. I am a person that likes to see both sides of the story and like to put myself in others shoes, and then come to a logical conclusion.
Most of the reasons I have heard are because people want them (supply and demand? sounds more like because people will buy them), getting a certain trait (which I would say okay to if it was a dedicated breeding program with a common goal and written out standard to abide by. Many people started because they wanted to create a dog for people prone to allergies, this is a good idea but how dedicated are they?)
I don't think people are trying to say purebreds are higher then mix\cross breeding , I think we are simply trying to understand the logic behind it. (At least I am
)
(Please don't assume that because people have similar ideas that we "all" agree with what is being said on that particular side.
