I love mutts. My Graham is my best friend and he means the world to me. I love him with all of my heart. I think he's the best, most obedient and intelligent, not to mention, most adorable dog I have ever known. He's 100% pure mutt and I would not have it any other way.
I do love those purebreds too, and hope to have a golden puppy this summer to add to my family, but I still love those mutts.
You phrased it so well, that all I could do is repost what you posted!:-) I'm not sure what kind of dog I will get in the future, but I do believe that somehow, I'll end up with the right dog for me, be it a purebred or a mutt. Either way, it will definitely be some sort of rescued animal in need of a loving forever home:)Quote:

Unless you want to breed or show. The local shelter here has purebred dogs in there all the time! When I got Duncan there were 2 German Shepherds,a basset hound, 3 Rottweilers, 3 basenji puppies, a chowand a sharpei, not to mention all the pit bull terriers that were there also!! And with all the breed rescues out there....what's the point? I'm big into rescue and adoption for people as well as pets! There should be no such thing as an unwanted pet or person in this world and we are so overpopulated already!! Anyway, this is just my opinion...
MUTTS ROCK!
I might have a Corgi, but I Love EVERYBODY. Louie is a purebred Pembroke but before I found him I almost got a Husky/Corgi mix...they were adorable and "funky" looking they were all gong by the time I got there.... I love anything with fur and four legs.
Jennifert, some people buy purebred dogs 'cause you get to know the general personality of that breed. Don't want to be cruel or bad or anything but in Chile we call the mutts kiltros and some of the are pretty ugly and here, any dog can get ticks! SO imagine a poor mutt in the street living out oof rubish and full of fleas and ticks that's why there are so many of them 'cause you'll have to spend a lot of money to make the dog, look, feel and act healthy. The real problem in here is that we don't have pounds so people just drop them on the street and that's where they stay. People from restaurants and shops and fishermen sometimes they give them some leftovers and stuff but most of them die of hunger.:(
hey now Leslie, just wait til you meet Simba lol, im just kidding Graham is great!:D
I think that any dog is to cute to look at and ask for a Breed. Even if they are a pure dog or and mutt. They are in a way like people. . . . They all have their own personality. Just like the saying . . . You cant jujde a book by it's cover . . .You can not judje a dog by its breed.

Well....I think I would take most dogs as long as they were loving and healthy...But as far and looks...I wouldn't want a common looking mix..And I could really get into the breeding thing if there is ever a solution to the pet surplus....And, I think some of you are crazy about mutts, I'm not really crazed in love about them but they're good babies...But if there was a answer on the poll like "Both" or "Half-Half" I would have voted...I dont wanna start a fight please dont think Im jaded....:( :confused:
I picked the one that says that I just love my dog b/c even though I have a pure bred English Springer Spaniel I didnt get to choose what dog I wanted. But I think I got the best out of the litter. I just love her. I have never had any other dog. I dont know what its like to have a mutt. I dont think I ever will. I almost did though.
loud lou!! i would have loved to have seen those huskie/corgie mixes....what a combo...we won't get into the reality of it!!!!! a friend of mine had a rotti/bassett mix!!!! theres' a picture for you to ponder!!!!! her name was sugar bear!!!!! looked like the cereal character!!!!!! love all fur kids!!!! like you say.....4 legs,head tail...these are the requirements....though the 3 leggers i have had are dear in my heart also!!!!;)
The Poll thingy said I had already voted but I had not :mad: If I were able to I would have to agree with most.... it's the dog itself, not the breed. Mine are all "mutts" but two look like "pure" border collies and two like "pure" aussie's. Their Dr. told me that whatever they look mostly like is the type of personality they most likely will have. True true true. Hound mutts - shepard mutts - labbie mutts, muttlies of all kinds Bring 'em on :D
lbaker is right!!!! bring on "The Mutties!!!" especially "the Pound Puppie!!!" that have so needed rescues!!!;) :)
I also love all kinds of doggies. We have always chosen to give a mutt a home when we had the opportunity, because we figured the purebreds would be most likely to find good homes.
All our dogs have been the best. We had a collie/german shepherd mix, a lab/rottie mix and now Bonnie, the "dog of mystery". Each was so very special and unique.
I have a mutt! I went to a Doberman rescue because I had Dobermans as a child. They had gotten in a red Dobe with pups and didn't know what the father was. Devon was the last one, when I met him he was three months old. He was SO cute, I took him right then and there! He is marked like a red doberman, but has long silky hair - he is magnificent! Found out much later that his father is a Bernese Mountain Dog. Needless to say, Devon is a LARGE dog!
Ohhhh! I'd love to see a pic of him! He sounds gorgeous!:D Welcome to Pet Talk!:DQuote:
