I would have LOVED to adopt an abused mutt that needed a home desperately, but alas I have allergies to dogs (and it was our first one) so me and my family decided to get a pedigree so we could research traits, etc. Anyways, technically we didn't get a pedigree, we got a cockerpoo (a breed that is not registered with any Kennel Club), but she's not even that she's 2 thirds poodle and 1 third cocker, rather then half and half. To make a long story short she's been perfect for our life style and she's just a little ham that loves attention. At some point in my life though, I hope to adopt a dog (preferably a mutt!!). Power to the mutts!!!!
