Answer 1

Pure bred dogs tend to have problems with health and behavior.
Muts tend to be smarter and healthier.

Answer 2

Well, crossbreeds and mutts are the same thing. I've always preferred mutts. My best dog was a chow/pit/lab mix. I recently bought 2 purebred dogs. My sheltie is 8 months old and was an impulse buy. He was from a BYB, which I don't like to support, but I didn't want him to end up with somebody that wouldn't care for him properly. My other dog is a pembroke welsh corgi that I bought from a reputable breeder after being on a waiting list for a few months. I had wanted a corgi for over 10 years. My favorites are still mutts, though.

Answer 3

Mutts, hands down. This is b/c they tend to be healthier than purebreds and crossbreeds. Also, they're so much more sweet most of the time and need homes; instead, a lot of them are put down in shelters.

Crossbreeds and mutts are NOT the same thing. Crossbreeds are dogs with purebred parents--the parents simply were of different breeds. Examples of crossbreeds are labradoodles, golden retriever x labrador, etc. etc. Mutts are dogs with more than just two breeds in their heritage; however, you can distinguish at least one breed that may have been a part of the dog's lineage, i.e. Labrador mix. Mongrels are dogs with so many breed combinations it's almost impossible to ascertain a single breed it may have been descended from.

EDIT-A crossbreed is NOT a mutt! Mutts, mongrels, and crossbreeds are all types of MIXED BREEDS. Mutt=mix, mongrel=mix, and crossbreed=mix. This doesn't mean that mutt=mongrel=crossbreed. Think about it: computer=electronic device, and cell phone=electronic device, but computer does not equal cell phone! Therefore you can't say that mutts, crossbreeds, and mongrels are the same because they are not.

Answer 4

Any they all have there own personality, Ive got Border Terriers now, but some of the best dogs i ever had were mongerels, mutts, crossbreeds ,whatever you like to call them.

Answer 5

All dogs, purebred or mutt, are pedigree. It just means they have a lineage. Crossbreeds and mutts are the same.

As long as the dog breathes, wags its tail, and is happy to see me, I don't care if it's purebred or a mutt.

Answer 6

I love both Purebreds and mutts.
Growing up I always had a Purebred German Shepherd, I still love them and I always will love them.
I now have two mutts one Shepherd Samoyed mix and one lab mix along with one Jack Russell. With mutts you get a bunch of different dogs all rolled into one.

Answer 7

There are only pure and mutts, nothing else exist.

I prefer a mutt, but I have no desire to breed and would rather find a dog that needs m more. Also the only way I could afford to get my pup initially is the low fee because his mother was accidentally impregnated by a lab so the pups were worthless to the breeder (of course he came with instructions to alter him).

Answer 8

All dogs have a pedigree, a pedigree is simply a family tree.

Crossbreeds = Mutts

I prefer purebreds, because I like certain traits in a dog and because I like to compete in shows. But I have owned mutts, and they were great dogs.

Answer 9

I like a rescue dog! I don't really care what it is as long as it's the right dog for my household. We have 6 purebred rescues and one mixed right now, but have had other mixes in the past. There's no dog like a rescue!

PS Crossbreds or designer dogs are mutts in my opinion

Answer 10

I prefer shelter dogs. These are the ones who truly deserve homes.
And a vast majority of shelter dogs are purebred, or simply adorable mixes!!

You DO realize that a crossbred IS a mutt, right?

Answer 11

Both (crossbreed is a mutt) I've owned purebred and mutts, and loved them all.
