Mixed Breed of Dog is Not Acceptable
That being said there are instances where a mixed breed of dog is not acceptable. If you are training animals for the purpose of professional dog showing competitions, then by all means choose a pure breed animal and train them for the specific purposes for which the breed was created. Also for certain usages such as military animals, pure breeds seem to be the animal of choice for the purpose of uniform appearance, although a number of military animals do not meet this qualification. Aside form these or a similar circumstance, the author sees no reason to limit your search for a pet to strictly pure breed animals. Rather, do something good for yourself and for the homeless pet population and adopt a mixed breed animal.

The Pure Bred Dog
In article ,
Dog Lovers wrote: Perhaps the mix is between a Husky and a German Shepherd? This would give you a large dog with both good defense skills and the muscle for real workouts like long days of hiking. The standard joke is that you'll get a dog that will herd your sheep into a corner and eat them. You could end up with the worst characteristics of either breed, you could end up with something totally different, but the bottom line is that you'll end up with something pretty random. I have to say that I think that your post may be one of the just plain stupidest I've seen in my 20+ years on Usenet, and that's no small feat. I'll assume that you brought the same quality of analysis to bear on the recipes or whatever it is you bought from InstaSpammer that you brought to your discussion of cross-breeding. I.e.

I agree with you a 100%.
But there is one more reason why someone may want to go with a pure breed instead of a mixed breed: predictability. Though all dogs have their own personalities, all dogs of the same breed exhibit certain traits that are unique to that breed (or group of breeds). Pure breeds are also more predictable as far as their health is concerned. |
