Thanks!!! I agree with the political part...I can tell that just from watching the shows on TV. So many of those people are sooooo presumptuous. Now I understand about that. But, that brought another question to mind. Why is a dog considered "ruined" if it breeds with another breed and produces a litter of Heinz57s, or breeds with a member of the same breed that doesn't quite measure up? I'm sooo ignorant about matters such as these...I just usually stay with my rescue stuff, which I am STILL ignorant about most of it. I appreciate the time taken to answer my questions...I always know I can count on Pet Talk to answer my questions.
