Why do Pure bred Breeders don't like mixed bred Dogs?

Question

What if someone got a dog out of the pound would that count?

The dog we have would have been a dead dog if she was not rescued.

My mother's dog is spayed.

I am not a person that you think I am. I just was asking a question.

People are unblocked now except the people that have been scamming the people on Yahoo answers with a site where they can make money. I now understand how you guys feel because I heard some stuff on the news about byb and puppymills and I have also been reading stuff on the Petconnection about it also . I now understand how you guys feel so people are unblocked. I quess I did not understand at first and now I do . I have been going to different sites and reading about it. I very sorry about it.

I want to read more about. Do you guys know more sites so I can read more about the problem.

That is so sad. I walked into the Humane Society a long time ago and I can't get myself to walk into one anymore because all the animals in cages.

My favorite Pure Bred dog is the Afghan Hound. I have always wanted one.

Answer 1

Thank you for opening your mind. Really, I love my mixes. I love all dogs, even though shelties are dearest to my heart. I could never have done all the jobs I have if I was a 'purebred snob". A good dog is a good dog, regardless of breed or mix of breeds.

Answer 2

I don't dislike mixed breeds, have owned many of them myself. But, until the "designer" dogs came along, almost every mixed breed pup was the result of irresponsible owners that honestly didn't care that much about their pet. They didn't spay or neuter and if their female had pups, they just gave away what they could on corners, parking lots, maybe sell some for $10 at a swap meet. But, any they couldn't get rid of were dumped into the population of unwanted dogs in the animal control buildings and humane societies. Mutts were rarely a planned breeding.

Do I think because some enterprising person/group realized that the public is gullible and if given cutsie names, the public would pay big dollars for a mixed breed, that this makes the mixed breeds bred deliberately anymore valuable to society as a whole? No, I don't. Labradoodle rescues sprung up not long after they started being sold. Imagine turning your $1,500 dog into rescue!!! But, the mixed breed was bought on an impulse or bought for the wrong reasons, status?? Perhaps.

While there are purebreds being destroyed as well as mutts, if someone did research, they would probably find most of the purebreds being destroyed in shelters are puppy mill or byb products. Not from reputable, ethical show breeders. I will take any of my dogs back anytime during the lifetime of the dog. That's just what we do, we do not want any of the dogs we produce to end up in rescue or shelters.

So, as I said, I don't dislike mixed breed dogs, but I don't have a lot of respect for the people that either bred them or allowed them to breed.

This is why - this is why any person should not like irresponsible breeders. Now I warn you - this is very very very graphic, but it tells the story about the thousands of unlucky animals that don't get adopted by someone like you or me. These are animals that come from puppymills, from backyard breeders, from oops my dogs mated and they weren't fixed litters. These animals end up in shelters from purebred breeders that also don't care where their dogs end up - there are pure bred breeders that are just like puppymillers! Just because your dog is AKC registered doesn't mean that he should be bred!

Responsible breeders are NOT being impinged upon by BYBers. Responsible breeders sometimes have people that want their puppies and they have to wait a year or more to get them. They aren't breeding to supply a person with a dog - they are breeding to make better sounder, stronger, "gamer" dogs. There is method, there is genetics, there is a lot of thought that goes into choosing the ***** and the sire. It's not about throwing two dogs together to make a poodlydoodly cutie wootie dog that gives kissy wissies to everyone. It's not about my dog is pretty, or my dog gives love, its about making a better dog, in health and temperment.

So here's the video that sent me over to the spay and neuter police. I want you to know - I bawled my head of and gagged through most of it - but it was EYE OPENING at what is REALLY going on - why are there so many pets - why are there 7 puppies and 7 kitties for every ONE person in this country. I dont have 14 animals, I have 4 total, so where are the other 10 that I am supposed to have - right - the shelter. And mine is a kill shelter, so watching this video really hit home.

The reason that some Purebreed Breeders do not like Mixed Breed dogs is that when you have a Purebred dog the dog, whether it is a Maltese to a Mastiff fits a particular standard with height, weight, colors, and personality and attitude. With a mixed Breed dog, you never know what you are getting due to not knowing whether the puppy is going to take after mom or dad. Nowadays though, you do see people who are concientious breeders that are breeding what they call a "Designer Dog". At one point or another, every single breed was just that... a Designer dog. The dogs that we see today were bred for a certain purpose that the certain breed can fulfill whether we are talking about a Dachshund which were bred to "go to ground" after rabbits, hares, and badgers or a Beagle or Harrier, which were used to hunt foxes and So ar the Designer dogs of this day... some people want a non shedding large dog...others want a puppy that improves on the current breeds out there such as Puggles (which are Pug -Beagle crosses). I think that its all about choice. Choice of what you are looking for in a dog and going out to find that.

Answer 5

No one dislikes mixed breed dogs...at least I don't.
I have my purebreds (which is my choice to have) and I also have 2 rescues that are mixes....
What I dispise more than anything is mixed breed dog breeders...people who intentionally breed their mixed breeds!
It has nothing to do with the dog...if someone chooses to ADOPT or RESCUE a dog that is a mixed breed, I highly applaud them....but for someone to go out and pay money to a backyard breeder for a PURPOSELY/CARELESSLY bred mix is irresponsible beyond words. All that person is doing is perpetuating the problem and putting money into the pockets of a person that has about as much sense at breeding dogs as does a 5 yr old child.

My dislike, and make no mistake, it's a VERY strong dislike, is towards the breeders that continually deceive the public into thinking "mixes are healthier than purebreds" or "this new breed will be registered soon".....Dispicable irresponsible breeders that only care about the almighty dollar are what I dislike (and that goes for pure bred breeders that don't do it the right way either!)

EDIT: One of the people that you BLOCKED emailed me this question, she and I have the same views and own the same breed, which happens to be Rottweilers. We are both new to this forum (she has been more active than me over the past few days), but we both share the same views on dog breeding....
She says she can't understand why she was blocked.

Answer 6

That's crap.. Purebred breeders don't have a problem with mixed breed dogs.. Purebred breeders have a problem with people who breed mixed breed dogs purposely.. It's a problem when people take two different breeds and breed them together.. It's a problem when people take 2 mixed breed dogs and breed them.. The dog's themselves aren't the problem.. It's the fools that purposely produce them, without regard for the health and temperament, the already overflowing shelter problem and everything else...

Mixed breed dogs are fine.. It's the selfish people who produce them that are the problem..

Saving a mixed dog from the shelter is a great idea. Once they are here, they deserve just the same life as a $3000 purebred dogs.. Happy, good food, good exercise, love and attention...

Spay and neuter your pets, mixed breed, purebreed etc.. Don't add to the problem, it's not a game!


Edit : Sorry, just had to correct those with little to no real knowledge.. Anyone who breeds purebred dogs legitimately, has a code of ethics they must abide by.. Part of that code is NOT TO BREED MIXED BREED DOGS... That's because it's wrong. Not cause there is no money in it, But because responsible and ethical breeds have a Code of Ethics they abide by.. People who breed mixed breed dogs have NO ETHICS and NO code of ethics that they follow... Before you spout you should learn the truth.. It will help to make you seem like you actually know.. Rather than speaking when you so obviously haven't a clue..

I find it odd.. This ridiculous attitude people have against real breeders.. " Don't buy from breeders, they are out to get your money " Who is it that you figure is answering all your questions when you come here asking for advice and information?? Who do you think it is telling you what you should get the vet to check for ?? Who do you think it is that is trying to help people when they are producing a litter and they haven't a clue what to do?? Who do you think it is that is encouraging people to be responsible?? BREEDERS...

Answer 7

They think mongrels should not be bred. I agree and add that a lot of purebreds should not be bred. All should be tested for inherited problems and if found, spayed or neutered--even if they are a show champion. All of mine were checked (and some problems--like inherited eye disease--does not show up until later in life) for inherited eye, hip and blood factor problems. None were bred until they were at least 2 years old and my females (including the champions) never had more than 2 litters in their lives. If you breed, be prepared to keep all of the pups for their whole lives. If you are not willing or able to do this, don't breed. I do not have a dog at this time--my last purebred passed away 4 years ago. If I were to get a dog, I would rescue one from the pound or get a purebred from breed rescue. Either would be neutered.

Answer 8

I'm not a breeder but I can tell you it has nothing to do with money. Everything to do with irresponsibility! They work hard to better the breed while others... BY B's & Puppy Millers only do it for the money. They do not take proper care of the dogs and most end up in shelters ( never to find a home). Use the dogs as puppy factories, Oh yea sounds like a good life huh?

most rep. breeders own a mutt from a shelter or rescue, that is spayed or nuetered!!!!

Answer 9

Listen, I have bread pure breeds and own mutts. Yes some people do breed pure breds for the money, some do it because they love the breed! I now own a pure bred Rotweiller that my parents own his mom she was born and raised in America. They did own his dad (R.I.P.) he was from germany! My dog is no more inbread than the alot of people today! I love the breed! My fiance and I also have two rescue dogs. I have always owned a mutt or two along with my pure breds. We never bread for money. If you do it for love its not a puppy mill! We give our puppies to friends and family who want the dogs for the same reasons we love them, they are family!!!! Rescue dogs are fine but you dont always know what you are getting. That doesn't make me love ours any less. We have two very crazy mutts! I have trained dogs my entire life and have found these dogs to be only half trainable. I have had both bad and good luck with mixed breeds. If you go to a reputable breeder and both parents are on sight and you can spend a quality amount of time with them you get some kind of idea of what to expect out of them. If you get to see the papers on a dog and they go far back because they have a good long blood line you can check for inbreeding. Its easy if you know how. With dogs saved from the pound you dont know if their parents were brother and sister and their grandparents were the same. I'm all for rescuing dogs. I also love certain breeds because you have an idea of what to expect out of them and how to raise them. My pure bred Rott is the most doscile, trainable, and mellow dog we have as were his parents. Not all breeders are bad but I will agree the majoraty are! FIX YOUR PETS UNLESS YOU PLAN ON BREEDING THEM!!!!! Pretty much every breed of dog around now started out as something else. People found traits that they liked from different dogs and bred them together to create what they wanted or needed, and so on, and so on, and so on. The origional dog was the wolf as stated by national geograffic! ISo in essence all dogs are mutts! I love all dogs!!!!

Answer 10

I don't know about the AKC but per the CKC no dog is considered a Purebred unless said dog is properly registered, etc with said organization.
As for Breeders .... . It's not a matter of not liking mixed breeds but any Breeder who is passionate about the type of dog they are breeding, will go thru great lenghts and expense to ensure that the gene pool is not contaminated. Of course these are not the backyard and puupy mills breeders. Yes, some are prone to snobbiness and others are just downright dismissive about anything that is not considered a Purebred, but that is in the nature of the individual. Ironically if one traces the ancestry of most Purebreds, one will find that their origins began with what we lovingly call Mutts.
