		<description>I&#039;d rather say that all purebreds originate from the human-directed breeding between mutts. So purebreds&#039; owners have nothing so big to fuss about. I&#039;ve an aquitance of mine that starts to literally shoo away any mutt she sees, no matter if it has an owner or not, and she pets and squishes and huddles to purebreds. That&#039;s simply not right. I personally don&#039;t have a dog (and never have had), but I&#039;d surely choose a mix of some kind or an unindentifiable mutt instead of an inbred pedigree... Don&#039;t get me wrong, though. I&#039;ve nothing against any dog, be it a purebred or a mutt, but the people&#039;s attitude towards them.</description>

		<description>Seems that purebred dogs are already the product of humananly selected genes, and many of these purebred breeds have been suffering from an array of issues/ailments due to in-breeding.</description>

		<description>&quot;Designer Dog&quot; - sounds like a horror film title. Dogs should be left alone. Or be prepared to pay the price.</description>

		<description>Do you not get that mutts are all combinations of purebreeds ... they still have all the health problems you just have no idea which ones to look for .... true dog breeders pride them selfs on making the line as free of problems as posable if everyone really researched the person they were getting a dog from all the breeders that only breed for money would not be able to exist because no one would buy their dogs ... its everyone that just buys a dog with out knowing what their doing thats the problem</description>

		<description>I also think they should stop this animal abuse. Seems that purebred dogs are already the product of humananly selected genes, and many of these purebred breeds have been suffering from an array of issues/ailments due to in-breeding. The AKC should be more responsible and cease to be the enambler of this practice. Besides, it seems that a mutt is usually smarter than a purebred dog. As man’s companion and best friend this is definately a more rewarding/evolutionary correct quality.</description>
