Vivenda @Vivenda (583) • Portsmouth, England 20 Nov 15

I love dogs. My favourite job was working as a desk editor for a firm that described itself, rather endearingly, as a “pet publishing company” and I have edited books about a wide variety of dog breeds. I do not own a dog...

Do You Think Sometimes You Love Your Dogs More Than Other Family Members Do?

windchimebooks @windchimebooks (314) • United States 27 May 09

I am a huge animal lover, all types of animals, but I've always especially loved dogs ever since I was a little kid. When my husband and I got married, some 30 years ago now, I was pleased that, even though he came from a family...

I have the world's sweetest, most loving, playful sheltie-mix mutt dog, named Mocha. She has been in my life for 13 years. She was rescued from a shelter so we don't actually know her real age. Suffice it to say she is OLD. The...

Pure bred or mutt?

Amy @artemis432 (7474) • Abernathy, Texas 15 May 08

Some like the beauty and breeding of purebred. The distinction of a pedigree. Some like the idea of breeding their dogs and entering them in shows. Others feel mutts make the best pets. Great personalities, none of the diseases...

Want a designer dog? Check the pound.

breepeace @breepeace (3014) • Canada 5 Aug 07

Designer Dog?? What the heck is a designer dog you ask?? A "designer" dog (as the media has labeled them) is a cross between two purebred dogs. A purebred dog is one that has been bred over many generations to breed true. Meaning...

Why 'hybrid vigour' in dogs is a joke

breepeace @breepeace (3014) • Canada 16 May 07

Any litter of dogs, whether they be purebred or mutt is just a roll of the dice. Responsible breeders take the time to compare the pros and cons of the sire and dam to try to ensure that the puppies will be as close to the...

Who loves mutts?

tacoman25 @tacoman25 (233) • United States 26 Feb 07

I think mutts are just awesome. Here's why: 1) they tend to be more hardy than other dogs because mixed breeding allows for better immune systems, 2) they come in all sorts of crazy combinations, and you never know what a mutt...
