Mutts are smarter

People pay big money for a Cockerpoo and it’s still a mutt.

while the ASPCA is doing a good job by neutering pets, they may have gone to far. Although they do not like the puppy mills, it appears that the American Heinz 57 breed is done.

@PACOPUDDY: You are wonderful! Thank you for reminding me there are true animal lovers out there.Hugs to you and your dog. :)

Mixed breeds are less prone to particular disorders, physical or emotional, than mutts. Of course, some purebreds have great reps for being physically and mentally well-adjusted, but lots have “quirks”. Inbreeding, or breeding for particular traits doesn’t make better humans, so we shouldn’t expect it to in dogs, either.

When you’re poor, you own a mutt. When you’re rich, you possess a mixed breed.

@packopuddy….absolutely perfect !“ugly as a box of frogs” wahahahahahahahah !

cheers

@aaf709 then I’m proud to be poor! :)

It’s called “hybrid vigor”.

I’ve owned mixed breeds in my lifetime. As a child, I had a full springer spaniel. Then we had two dogs that were a collie/spitz mix. Lastly, we had a lab/husky mix. These “mutts” can be gentle and affectionate.

I tell everyone I have a Canardly. You can hardly tell WHAT it is.
