I can see both sides of the arguement though I have to lean to one side of the thread after reading it.
Points made on each others side have been valid then led to frivelous crap and name calling
BUT
I think it comes down to 3 things
1. Yes people love mutts, and keep them in good health, and there is no reason to be against mutts and etc, thats fine, BUT thats no reason to support the breeding of mutts; which is just adding to the problem of overpopulation and health problems etc (I have yet to see a mix that was bred to further the collective good rather than just be a fancy looking companion)
2. Vets have a knowledge of the animal itself, similar to how a doctor would to a human, just because someone may be a vet does not mean they now know how to Train/Behaviour theropy and consult, Breed better than a breeder, be able to do thing better than everyone else just because you may have "D.V.M" beside their name, a truly good vet would admit that
3. The reason people here do not support "Designer breeds" and "Mutts" is because there is already a booming and overflowing population (not to mention health problems which as a vet someone should know) and there is no need to breed more and add to the problem, The reason you dont breed one dog with another of a different breed is because unless there is a legitamit reason there is no need. Regardless of care standard, or want, it is the same reason you wouldnt breed "Lightning" the prize winning race horse with "Smelly" the circus pony
Honestly in my view, unless the dog was looked over and tested, found to have certain attributes, looked over and behaviourally tested, health tested, and then bred for a specific purpose and actually used for that purpose, it shouldnt be bred at all
Breeding should only be to benefit and further the breed itself, or to be of benefit of a certain purpose such as Assistance or other beneficial activities, not just because someone wants money or somebody wants a dog that looks cute.
And to tell you the truth this thread is going nowhere, I am not saying I dont support mutts, I am just saying why breed and add to a problem that is already overwhelming. In fact I love mutts, but go give a rescue dog another chance, dont breed designers and add to the problem.
