Purebred or Mixed Breed?

If you are thinking about adding a new member to you family, deciding between a purebred versus a mixed breed is a bit complex. But, there are a few easy ways to determine the best DOG for your household.



Australian Kelpies are herding dogs with an abundance of energy. They can work in extreme climates and conditions. They are known for one unique ability. They can run along the backs of sheep when moving them through chutes.


Let us start off with your budget. While purebreds are beautiful, they can be high maintenance. From the cost of their breeding, specific health conditions and grooming requirements, certain breeds may downright expensive. For instance, an Afghan is more expensive to maintain than a mixed breed.



Labrador retrievers, as their name indicates, were bred to retrieve things. However, most people think of them today as retrieving sticks, or other similar objects. In reality, they were originally bred to help fishermen by retrieving fishing nets!


Are you looking for a DOG to love or a show DOG? Real DOG lovers do not care about the breed of a DOG. However, amongst the wealthy and status seekers, purebreds are the only option. These DOGS are bred to preserve, exhibit and define the physical and behavioral traits of their breed. As a result, these DOGS should be predictable enough to predetermine their potential size, temperament as well as life expectancy.



Inbreeding causes about 3 out of every 10 dalmations suffer from some sort of hearing loss. The good news is that, like deaf people, they can easily be taught to recognize words in sign language and still make excellent companions.


As predictable as purebreds may seem, there are a few considerations. Not all dachshunds are bred the same way. Closely inbred litters may trigger socialization issues, behavioral deficiencies as well as a host of other health conditions. Consult a veterinarian, kennel club, an animal shelter or a highly reputed DOG breeder to learn how to identify the more common medical problems of varying breeds.



Franklin D. Roosevelt once spent $15,000 to have a destroyer return to the Aleutian Islands and retrieve his Scottish terrier, Fala, who had been accidentally left behind. Fala is now part of the Roosevelt Memorial in Washington, D.C.


On the contrary, mixed breeds are generally less expensive to buy. Overall, the �mutt� is intelligent, lovable and easy to care for because they are more resilient to illness. Although the temperament of a mixed breed is mild mannered, they can be a little unpredictable too � particularly if you are unsure of their crossbreeding.



About eight thousand years ago, ancient Egyptians began to raise a breed called Saluki, as hunting dogs. Saluki is an arabic word. In english it translates as "noble one". These dogs are probably the oldest known breed.
