dog lovers prefer mongrels

I own a Yorkie, Yorkshire terrier, a dog, what ever, or he just might think he owns me, anyway, we love him, but for the most part I havespent a lot of hours in peoples homes, believe it or not, some of the best dogs were of some sort of mix, and picked up at the Humane Society, one of the things you have to remember is If you own a expensive dog, the treatments can be even more expensive. Not to say they are not worth it, I do believe they are.

It is Still hard to beat a Yorkie

Dogs are for life, not just for exhibition. I became convinced of that when I visited Crufts four years ago. My conviction is reinforced every time the annual show comes around and is publicised by pictures of potential winners from exotic breeds. Being one myself, I am instinctively on the side of mongrels. But it is not my highly developed egalitarian instinct which has turned me against the canine perfection that comes from pedigree. I just find the idea of loving a dog because of its appearance inherently repulsive. Dogs should be loved because they are dogs. Nothing less. Nothing more. My dog Buster happens to be extremely handsome - he has the shape of a small alsatian and the coat of a Staffordshire bull terrier.
