I feel you kind of misunderstood me. I know rescues and shelters are very over worked and busy just trying to keep from euth dogs. I've worked with shelters and rescues for several years. I personally feel it is a very good thing to inform shelters about correct breeds and that shelter volunteers/employees should be encouraged to learn about dog breeds. I believe that if shelters were better educated about different breeds they would be more successful in giving out correct breed information to potential adopters. I also believe that if shelters were corrected more often there would be a greater rate of rescue to the correct group and they can be corrently listed on sites like Petfinder for the adopters looking for a specific breed.

I think you also misunderstood me when I said the shelters are more for mixed breeds. I was meaning that the majority of canines that find themselves inside shelters are mixed breeds. Not that mixed breeds are any less than purebreds.

I also never said that shows like Dogs 101 and Pitbulls & Parolees were not good. On Dogs 101, I wish that they would use dogs that correctly represent the breed they are educating on. But I watch and enjoy these shows.
