ok if anyone flames me for this or twists my words around etc.. I will delete this thread. this is just something I have been wondering about for a long time, and cant come up with any logical answer too... I will try to phrase this as best I can, but I was having trouble organizing the thoughts in my head, so lets see how I do, writing them down lol

why is it, that in the dog world pur breeding and breeding for show, and appearence standerds holds so much weight, and mutts are often looked down upon, and breeding a mix is a horrable crime etc.... etc..., when in any other animal, cats, horses, sheep, guinea pigs, Rabbits etc.. while they do have shows, and have appearence standerds etc.. noone looks down on mixes, or breeding mixes, and shows hold very little weight, your not looked down on as irrisponsable if you mix breeds etc..

I hope I phrased that right.. just something that has been going through my head for a while now...
