WHY do people breed mixed breed puppies ? Some intentional mixed breedings are done because, people think they will be cute and/ or to make money by selling the pups. Less often pure breed dogs of different types are mixed because the breeder is trying to improve health, by eliminating some genetic fault or predisposition to a disease. Even more rare, is a breeder that is trying to create a new breed altogether. Creating a new breed takes many generations of excellent record keeping, and testing. A breed becomes a new breed when all the dogs born have certain consistent traits EVERY time. A true understanding of genetics and scientific research is needed.
