I've heard the term 'ruined' used before because of the bloodlines. Many breeders like to preserve the bloodlines of their dogs. (To keep closest to the standard.) I know a breeder that has a spay/neuter contract to preserve bloodlines. On some occasions she even kept the pup until it was fixed before she sold it. So, in their eyes, if the dog cross breeds, then the bloodlines are 'ruined'.
