Is a pure-bred dog better than a mixed-breed dog? Or vice versa?
The "Adopt Don't Shop" movement has divided dog lovers over the past few years into two camps; those who believe people should only get dogs from rescues or shelters and those who believe getting dogs from breeders is the best option. In this episode, Amy talks with Sandy Weaver, an AKC judge, 40-year Siberian Husky enthusiast, and columnist for Canine Chronicle Magazine, about the debate and the myths and truths about Mutts vs. Pure Bred Dogs.
Amy and Sandy discuss:
--Why "Adopt Don't Shop" is a myth
--Benefits of having a purebred dog
--Benefits of saving a shelter/rescue dog
--What future pet parents should consider in deciding which type of dog is the right fit for them
--The "Doodle Craze" - how it came about and why these mixed-breed dogs are so popular
--How future pet parents can find the right breeder and why to avoid backyard and for-profit commercial breeders
--Steps future pet parents can take to ensure they're getting a healthy dog
--And more!
