Mixed breed dogs bring the genes from multiple problems of other dog breeds that were not cared for enough to stop mixed breedings, into the dog produced. The reason stupid people think mixes are healthier is that they are MIXED BREEDS and not tested, not watched (movement), not working (stressed), ect., ect., ect.


Some people think that breeds, name any breed, especially Working Breeds have a LOT of health problems. The truth is....those dogs are Watched more closely by people who know what they are looking at, Tested, and WORKING! It's not that they are any less healthy, it's that they are 'tried and trued'.



There is a kennel (notice no caps) not too far from here with outdoor small pens, the type up off the ground so that the people do not have to clean poop often, USDA approved (I could explode on that line of crap!), pen after pen, pens lined up, cages really. They breed all sorts of MIXED SMALL BREEDS. Mokies is there top selling. They have this xxxxpoo and that xxxxpoo.... and yorkiepoos, obviously their most active stud is a Poodle! Just Tragic! How sad is that!?????


I have no problem with outside, well cared for dogs. Working Dogs should be outdoors to be accustomed to it. Mine are. BUT I AM ALSO OUT THERE WITH THEM FURTHER THAN JUST FEEDING!



And these so called 'rescues' that are BREEDING mixed breed dogs and making up sad stories so that all the folks will send money and buy their dogs!


BUYERS OF THESE DOGS ARE THE PROBLEM!

We call those legal puppy mills. There are so many of them it’s just sickening. I’m really not a fan of any dog living outside. Most dogs prefer to be with their humans whether working or not. I know many hunting dogs that live inside and still are excellent at what they do and the same for police dogs.
