Maybe referring to them as "mixed breeds" is more politically correct these days. However,I don't think we should make too much of this issue when folks are selling 2.5 pound adult "teacups." |
I'm right there with you. The best dog I ever had was a mutt-part dauchaund (SP?), part poodle. The way I see it...which probably isn't "politically" correct...just the way I was raised...you have 'purebreds' and you have 'mutts.' It's nothing negative...just the terminology I was always raised by. Heck, I call my dog's "Mutt" all the time, just like I call my kid "Squirt" and "Pee-Wee."
