The Best idea!
THE CASE AGAINST MIXED OR CROSS BRED DOGS!
Mutts, curs, mongrels, heinz varity type or simply mixed breeds are what is one of the major factors leading to overpopulation of shelters and rescue kennels. One should not be in the White House.
If one should be there it will be a reson for more people to cross breed such as a Bulldog with a Shitzu! A Pointer with a setter would be another holiday dog. Who knows what the world will come up with and centuries of selective breeding will be diluted even more. Years of breeding for specific traits is why pure-bred dogs are so popular, hap-hazzard breeding goes into mongrels. Both are or can be wonderful pets, but one has foundations, clubs, associations working to protect them. They find homes faster, the others outnumber the purebred in all shelters three to one. Buy a registered AKC dog from a reputable breeder. Claire McLean
