Yeah... Mutts are probably the best kind of dogs anyone could ever own.. my first dog, Benny was a mutt. He was a yellow lab/beagle mix. He was a lucky dog, he lived up to 17 years of age. I'll never forget him, he probably had the best personality a dog could have! Why, he protected me when I was a baby, and followed me around when I was a young kid, until I was 14, it was his time to go. Soo.. I would have a mutt anyday, but not right now, lol. I have two purebreds..after all, like I said, it doesn't matter what the breed is, it's the personality that counts! - Rachel
