Question

Whats the difference between a purebred pup and just a regular pup?

Answer 1

a purebred is where the dog is all the same breed

and then a the other kind is where two different breeds of dogs have puppies  

Answer 2

What you pay for it. Unless you plan on showing the dog -- which is very expensive and time consuming, go to the shelter and look for a pup. If you like a specific breed, there are "breed" rescues everywhere. Just Google the breed name and "rescue."

You'll feel much better about rescuing a dog rather than possibly supporting a puppy mill.

Answer 3

There is no difference except the breed.  If by regular you mean a mixed breed then the difference would be in the lineage or parents of the pup, chances are it's unknown.  With a purebred dog you know what breed it is, there's no confusion as to the parents or lineage.

Answer 4

it's like if you have 2 boxer and 1 german shepard and you breded a german shepard w/ a boxer than that's regular but if you bred a german shepard w/ another german shepard  then that's purebred

Answer 5

purebred pup means the puppy is of one breed for example only german shepard  

regular puppies usually have a mix of different breeds. these dogs are also called mutts. for example it would have german shepard and rottweiler  

Answer 6

a purebred pup is lets say a cavalier king charles spaniel pup,it has a specific breed.A non-purebred pup is a pup that has a lets say a pug father and a toy poodle mother.They are mixed.However some mixed breeds are very popular such as the labradoodle.A purebred cavalier king charles spaniel will mean that the father and mother of the pup were both purebred cavaliers.So a regular pup or a mutt could be a labradoodle X cavalier king charles spaniel if there is no specicfic breed of the pup then it is a mutt.

hope i helped!!!

Answer 7

I'm not understanding your question. A purebred dog is a dog of a certain breed. There are purebred dogs and there are mixed breeds. Mixed breeds are either of unknown lineage or are a combination of purebred breeds.

Answer 8

A purebred pup has parents that are from a traceable lineage of at least a certain number of generations from the same breed.  This typically verified in the dog's pedigree through registration with the AKC or other legitimate registry.

Both make fine pets.  But mixed breed dogs should not be bred and are best obtained through a shelter rather than a breeder or pet store.

Answer 9

Purebred dogs are those who descend from established bloodlines of known individuals of unmixed lineage over many generations. This allows for greater control of genetic predictability for health, temperament and appearance.

A mixed breed dog comes from an unknown heritage of dogs, of one or more breeds. This offers more diversity in appearance, health and temperament.
