Mugsy: I agree. I do plan on getting a mutt, but I do want a lab, golden, or a BC. If I fall in love with something else, then thats what I'll get. I'm just saying I want oneo f them, they can still be mutts. I also want a pup. I like the responsibility of training it, and caring for it. I want a pup so I can watch it grow up. We have one shelter here, and it doesnt have many dogs in it, more then 90% are usually pups. :]
