Okay-please dont attack me for asking this question.

I've read many of the posts of people inquiring about breeding their dog, mixed or purebred, the response is the same! Anyone who has come to this site and asked the question is researching, but nonetheless they are always told to do their research and quite often get verbally attacked.

I've read that people should NEVER breed their pet because there is too much heartache involved, but I see stated on the breeders websites that the breed dogs are not only their pets, but part of their family-what sense does that make? I've also seen on these breeder websites that retired breed dogs are up for adoption.....if they were such a part of their family, when their sole purpose in this "family" is served, why get rid of them? So much for the love of your "family". I guess once the dollar is done being earned-they are outta there!

Purebred versus mix: if you look down the line-they were all mixed somewhere along the lines. My family and friends have owned mixed dogs adopted from animal shelters that have led extremely healthy and long lasting lives--way more than the purebreds that had been raised.

A purebred dog is nothing more than a mixed breed that has been inbred time over time until the breeder "thinks" they have it right.

I admire the good breeders out there that truly love their animals and keep them and love them for the duration of their lives. A mixed dog is no less of value just because of the bloodline.......a life is a life no matter what the "race" is.

I'm not saying that everyone out there should breed their dog. I firmly agree wtih responsible breeding practices, but I don't have to agree with all of the opinions of the purebred breeders.

Okay I guess I should expect to be the one getting a verbal attack now, but like everyone else on this site--I have my opinion and Im entitled to it.
