breed

That is a pretty easy question. When seeking a certain type of dog or a dog in general a pure bred dog is the general rule. When people take a cross bred dog they don't know what they r getting. They see a Rotti mix with a amer. bull Dog and see 1 or 2 good dogs out of that litter that might be what they wanted when they tried this mix. When they try again usuing different parents totally different results, maybe 1 or none that they might want. When usuing pure bred they usually get all or maybe 1 that might be what they want. When mixing breeds it usually a crap shoot hoping for the best.. But no matter what happens, with a mix litter, sometimes 1/2 the litter shows up at the pound or unwanted.... REMEMBER ALWAYS LUV/ CARE FOR YOUR DOG OR PET, THEY WILL ALWAYS LUV U...

I prefer cross breeds. I own a black dog that looks like a golden retriever and he's super smart and loving. Cross breeds look more "unique" haha and I do think that we can get the good traits from both breeds into one. Although some cross breeds don't turn out right.

I love mixed breeds.they have less health issues,because the health issues are bred out of them.They are way smarter than a pure bred.I own one now.I have a Lab/German Shepherd/Great Pyrenees mix.She's only eight weeks old she's already house broken.I already taught her some tricks.she so smart.I'm so happy with the puppy.

as for me, i would rather prefer pure line breeding..because cross breed can't join any conformation and all breed shows..and as a dog owner, i love to campaign my dogs all the time..

Better for what? I think all dogs are amazing and everyone can find a fit for themselves. We need to keep a pure breed, so we can get a cross breed. I generally adopt, rescue many dogs a year, to foster from kill shelters. I do have a pure breed Rhodesian Ridgeback, who is a beast male 110lbs. Love him, and all other dogs. Do research find out what dog will work best for you and your living situation.

I think it is better to get a cross breed, even if the dog only has a slight amount of another breed in it. It can lead to some gorgeous colourings/markings! It does lessen the risk of breed related illnesses/ health issues. For example, a 100% pure bred British Bulldog will most likely develop serious breathing issues, where as one with say a lil bit of something else in him has much less chance. It'll also save you big bucks on doggy health insurance!! It some cases, the monthly cost of insuring a pure breed can be more than double the price of insuring a cross breed. BUT! Be it pure or cross breed, they're still animals, and still very loveable.
