Subject: RE: BS: In Praise of Mongrels
Oh my, oh my. 50 plus years of 'dogging'.....not sure what to say.
I DO agree that mutts/mongrels have their place. And it's a GOOD place. I DO agree that 'pedigrees' have ruined many breeds. I SO agree that purebred dogs have a GOOD place too.
It just all depends on the human involved, what that human wants from a dog, what human is going to DO with the dog, what the DOG is going to do for the human....too damn many variables to categorically state one is better than the other.
I am NOT in favour of purposely crossbreeding ANY dogs to get what is now known as a 'Designer Dog'....Labradoodles, PeekA Poos, etc....
When I have time, I'll try to post a good Dog Story.
