Baraka: there are exceptions to every rule, which is why it's important to do your homework first.
Woods: spare me the sob story of animals in shelters and that they are equal to purebreds blah blah blah. I haven't once in this thread said that mutts aren't equal or deserve to be in good homes. I was very active in a GSD rescue organization and have seen the horrors of bad dog ownership first hand.
All I'm saying is that when someone is considering mutts, there are a lot of unknowns that exist and one needs to do a lot of homework and spend time with the animals first. Falling for puppy eyes and then taking it back when you realize it's the wrong breed type for you isn't a worthy cause at all. People need to make smart decisions on the animals they take in , not only in breed choice but purebreed or mutt choice. Purebreed was the better choice for me and my family, but I have owned rescues in the past and if rescues are the right choice for someone, then they have my support.
So do me a favor next time, read what I've written before you try to label me as some purebreed elitist who "gets dogs killed".
