My husband and I ran into a strange situation while observing a local dog contest, which included an agility course. Apparently, some people think mutts are pretty worthless. Everyone's entitled to their opinion, and their's was that if it wasn't from top knotch breeders and bloodlines, than it shouldn't have been born. Mutts contaminate good stock, I think was what we heard.

Well, our opinion is this, a good dog is a good dog, and a best friend is a best friend. The best dogs I've ever had have been mixed breeds. Pure breeds from good breeders make great dogs no doubt, and they each have their specialized characteristics. But don't knock Mutts! They rock!

So here's to all my perfectly wonderful, lovable, squeezable, pillow-hoggin' mutts! You guys rule!
