Does anyone know how a purbred becomes a purbred = breed?

Question

by mixing different breeds to come up with a specific breed.

So for those of you with purbreds, yours was once mutt too until recognized by the AKC, etc.

Just think the next breed that may be recognized will be...the Cock-A-Poo.

One day it may be the Grifftese or a Puggle.

Answer 1

Yes, you are correct, purebreds were once and still are mutts only recognized by Akc or Ukc or UKCI or now the ACHC( American Canine Hybid Club). Though some people take it to pride that they own a "purebred" dog.....which only really means that thier cute golden retriever came from two recognized registered golden retrievers. And Puggle has been recgonzied by the ACHC among with many other "crossbreds" breeds. Most are poodle because they have a trait ( won''t shed) that is desired in other breed.

Answer 2

It's so sad to see these 'designer' dogs becoming so popular when there are so many mixed breeds euthanized in shelters every year. Maybe shelters should start calling dogs by designer names then they wont have to die, while people breeding Grifftese's make tons of money off of a NAME.

Recognizing a new breed
The point at which a new variety becomes a breed can be difficult to decide. National kennel clubs often differ in their recognition of breeds and rare breeds might not be recognised outside their home country. Usually, only dogs recognized by a kennel club are eligible to compete in that specific club's conformation shows and dog sports, although many dog sports allow any healthy dog to compete regardless of the breed.

Generally, before a type of dog is recognized as a breed, it must be shown that mating a pair of that type always produces dogs that have the same characteristics as the parents, usually both in appearance and in behavior. This is known as breeding true. There are many issues concerning what is considered breeding true. For example, Flat-Coated Retrievers must always be black; however, yellow coats occur occasionally in some litters. Kennel clubs do not recognize the yellow dogs as legitimate members of the breed; some breeders will kill the puppies rather than risk having the dog grow up, breed, and produce more of the undesired yellow color, perpetuating the undesireable gene; more often, today, such dogs are neutered and placed in homes as pets. As another example, a breeding pair of Belgian Shepherds of the Groenendael variety can produce puppies of the Tervueren (brown) variety; the AKC considers the varieties to be different breeds and, therefore, the brown puppies are invalid and undesirable dogs, whereas the CKC considers them simply to be different color varieties of the same breed.

See selective breeding for a detailed discussion on open versus closed stud books and some of the issues concerning purebreds.

Yeah...look at the COCKAPOO!!!!!!! Years and years later.....still a MUTT!!!!!!!!!!! The breeds of today have been breeding pure for a WHILE!!! It was not a fly-by-night breeding of two pure breeds to create a cute-named little dog that they can command a super high price for. IF the "breeders" of these little mutts could not get the high "fad" price they would not breed them!!!!!!! Breeds that have been the most recent adds to AKC have not been mutts, but breeds that have been around for a long time and were bred for a reason...like working.
Cockapoos are in no danger of being recognized by the AKC. They are still mutts and will be mutts forever. It is fine if you people want to think your mutt is a breed. Ignorance is bliss, I guess, but do not presume to expect the rest of us to think of them as an actual breed, because they ARE NOT!!!!!!!

I LOVE the "expert" that thinks the ACHC is an authority on these "breeds"!!!! It was invented to give all these people who are scammed into buying all these mutts a little club of their own to join!!!!! What a joke!!!!!!!

Answer 4

Yep-

It's important to note that all dog breeds are man-made creations: dogs were traditionally bred for specific functions. Most existing dog breeds began as mixed breeds, either by random occurrence or by deliberate crosses of existing breeds. Encouraging desirable traits and discouraging others, breeders sought to create their ideal appearance or behavior, or both, for dogs, and, additionally, to ensure that the dogs could consistently produce offspring with the same appearance or behavior. Some consider mixed breeds undesirable, but mixing breeds can lead to desirable results, especially in the hands of an expert breeder. On the other hand, inexperienced crossbreeders can produce disastrous results. For example, the offspring of an obsessive Border Collie and an energetic, destructive Terrier could be dogs whose behavior is so erratic as to make the dogs a liability.

Answer 5

New breeds are developed over many years and many generations of dogs, to perfect a certain look. Not just putting 2 dogs of different breeds together and call them a purebred.

Answer 6

NOPE!!!
*YOU* are TOTALLY **WRONG****!!!!!!

You DON'T know what the ********* you're blathering about!!

You wouldn't know a GOOD dog if it bit you.

That's NOT -never WAS,never WILL be the way a breed is developed.
Try spending 50 YEARS...a HUNDRED years...a COUPLE of THOUSAND...breeding a type,CULLING severely,STRICTLY controlling ***EVERY*** aspect of CONFORMATION & TEMPERAMENT *&* USEFULNESS,getting stuck in a blind alley & tossing out EVERYTHING & going back again, KEEPING IMMACULATE RECORDS....
