Choosing to adopt a purebred dog rather than a crossbreed dog or bastard depends in fact on the role that the dog can play in the home. If the pet is intended for a clearly defined job (hunting, guarding, sledding ...) or just for dog shows, it is better for owners to turn to a purebred dog. If, on the contrary, the dog is simply a companion of every day, a crossed dog will be able to correspond as well to the expectations of his masters as a dog of race.
Note that cross-breed dogs are cheaper to buy than purebred dogs, but they are animals that can not be certified by the parent as opposed to the purebred dog. Therefore, by adopting a bastard puppy, one is never sure of what it will look like when adult. In return, bastard dogs, also more obsolete called horny, are reputed to be more robust and resistant to congenital diseases.
Conversely, choosing a dog breed rather than a crusader will allow you to predict what your puppy will become once grown up based on the standards of the breed.
This is a detailed physical description of what the perfect dog should be for each breed. These standards are used in dog shows and allow judges to determine the physical and behavioral conformity of dogs. It is also a tool for professional breeders who use it to eliminate lines with features considered as defects. By adopting a purebred puppy, you will have an idea of ​​the morphological characteristics and genetic abilities that your pet will develop.
However, the "negative" side is that purebred dogs have a much higher purchase price and are more likely to develop hereditary diseases than crossbred dogs. Finally, meeting a breed standard does not mean that all dogs of the same breed will have the same character. Each dog is unique and builds a personality through his encounters and experiences. Do not forget it !

Perky-eared dogs hear sounds better than floppy-eared dogs.

what a lovely puppy

I liked your publication, in my house we have always had pets of both bastard and race types and I think we should all have both in our home and not discriminate

Thanks
