Respectfully, I disagree. We should be breeding purebreds only, of good quality and health. I take issue with people who say we shouldn't be breeding dogs. What happens when our current purebreds are not bred and pass their breeding age? Then what are we left to breed with? Shelter mutts of unknown ancestry - hardly a good foundation for a dog breed.
