I, too, was thinking that she misinterpreted what was said. What may have been said is something to the effect of, mixed breeds don't suffer from the effects of over-breeding that are common in many dog store or local breeders (euphenism for backyard breeders) dogs. And Alicea, there are many non-breed specific rescues in this area, and I don't think they were promoting the breeding of mixed breeds but just the encouraging people to not overlook a dog simply because it is not a pure bred.
