The only thing I find insulting is the way it comes across. To me it sounds as though some of you are saying that mixed dogs are not worth as much as purebreds. Unless you are breeding or showing, mixed breed dogs find the same spot in their owners hearts as your dogs and you can't put a price on that. Whether a breeder profits off of it or not does not bother me...I am paying for a bestfriend that could never be replaced. I am grateful to the breeder for bringing that in to my life.
I hope everyone stays around because there is a ton to be learned from this site...but I can certainly understand why some of those with mixes would not feel welcome here at times. |
