The different registries provide pedigrees denoting which breed you are representing. |
All dog breeds originally were mixed breed dogs. It is just generations of breeding in the characteristics that were desired that developed a particular breed. If you will look at any particular breed ( I'll use Cocker Spaniels as an example as years ago I used to raise and show them) they continue to evolve and change even now. Champion Cockers from years ago wouldn't stand a chance in the show ring today. Just saying.
