Puppy Mill in NC

i don't want to take a chance on a pure/in-bred.

It is a real problem. I make sure the breeders I buy from are legit and know everything about the lineage. My dogs are bosses.

Nothing wrong with a mutt though. I've seen some really great mutts, it's just more of a chance.

how is it more of a chance? all the mutts i've owned have been much better dogs due to their broader genetic pool. every pure bred i've ever seen has some weird skin thing or joint thing or they are neurotic as f*ck or whatever. i dunno. Not saying purebreds can't make good dogs because I've owned a few that were...

As I said, you really have to make sure the breeder is good. So many "purebreds" are totally inbred and have major hip displasia, infection problems, and such. I don't mind paying extra for a small, good breeder. I've had a border collie for 12 years and he's been the best dog I've ever been around.

which is why i think mutts are less of a "risk."

Amen. All the mutts I have owned were awesome.

Not that I am a PETA supporter or anything like that (I like Chicken), but some animals such as chickens live in these types of conditions. They don't get the attn that dogs do, but its just as wrong.

Well show me the perfectly-colored, ridiculously smart mutt that can jump up 6 ft and catch frisbee and I'll get one of those next time.

yeah, we are raising chicken, turkey, cows, etc. for food we should be treating them with dignity. Same for animals for pets. But with the way humans treat humans...

that's um....racist

[Mvp2014]

Yea, I'm racist against dogs who don't sport a tuxedo year round.

[Mvp2014]

I've never seen a mutt smart enough to play frisbee anyway. Maybe some Aussie sheps that look like mutts but never a mutt
