Why do people say mutts are useless?

Question

I understand that for every dog you breed you kill 9 or whatever, but why do breeders say that they are ugly, useless dogs? I prefer mutts. Sue me? And what is the definition of 'backyard breeders'. Also, it's like saying to humans that you can't have babies with different races. I just think its harsh that ""BREEDERS"""" post s**z like 'O, Y R U BREEDING USELESS MUTTZ?!??!?!?!" Just askin'. DONT GET HARSH. I BELIEVE IN NON-BREEDING, but it's just the same with breeding purebreds, isn't it...?

Answer 1

i don't think mutts are useless.  i love mutts.  but i hate the breeders who are out there to make a buck and don't worry about the mother or puppies.

Answer 2

Big difference between 'useless' and 'worthless' in the true definition of the words.  Mutts are far from useless and in fact can do anything a purebred can do except win a grand championship at a breed show or sire/whelp a purebred baby.  They are, however, worthless in terms of money, except for what one would pay for the costs of shots, heartworm meds, neutering, and microchipping.  Even the most expensive 'designer' dog out there is a mutt and the recent fad of people purchasing these sad mixes does not change the fact that it is a dog of mixed breed ancestry, therefore a mutt, and not really worth a dime more than a mixed breed made in a back alley.

This is where your opinion and mine begin to differ.  I am against ANYONE- purebred or mixed- breeding for a buck.  There are so many accidental litters already that there will NEVER be a shortage of homeless dogs and therefore there is NO reason to breed any animal that isn't the best example of its breed, for homes that have been secured BEFORE the birth of the litter.  And when it comes to breeding mutts on purpose, there is 0 reason other than greed to do so- you are not going to improve anything about the specific dog or its 2 breeds because you are not using the best parent dogs.  Do you really think the Yorkie and the Toy Poodle owners at Westminster get together after the show and say, "hey, let's let 'em do it!"  

Long story short:  Breed only the best.  Neuter the rest.

Excellent point. Actually, what people refer to as the 'professional breeders', their main goal is to make a profit. Sure, there are good breeders who abide by the rules and allow the pups to stay with their biological Mum till 12 weeks. At the same time, there are excellent 'backyard' breeders, equally dedicated and often are far more attached to the pups than a professional breeder.

I believe in breeding, in the same way that I believe in bearing children. Some dogs will reproduce the same way women do, whilst others do not. Nature has its natural balance, which is highly misunderstood by our so called cultivated human society. Pack breeding followed by taking full responsibility for the entire crop is equal to giving birth to twins and over. Reality is that humans are not prepared or able to handle dogs in a pack and the economic viability of raising more than 2 children is as much a liability, if you wish your children to succeed in the world today and have a decent life.

It's not the backyard breeders that are out for a buck, rather it is the professionals that try and stop you from chipping away at their profits. On a larger scale, Government needs to be in control, because people are not experienced enough to handle life in its entirety. The human mind can be a cesspit filled with evil, which requires skilled wisdom to handle.

You are a highly evolved individual seeking for true answers. Keep following your instincts and you may be surprised what you find that you can offer to society and the world at large, when you realise the real answers to your questions.

The doctrine I follow states, when you understand the workings of Nam Myoho Renge Kyo, you will understand the workings of life. Nature is a very important concept of this as it supports our human existence.

PS in response to another comment, there is no difference between humans and mutts. Humans too are an animal species, but with different skills. Perhaps we are but a freak of nature! Evolved? Maybe. Depends whether you live in the here and now or how spiritually evolved the person has progressed.

Answer 4

Because they don't want to admit that purebreds are: useless, have WAY MORE problems, are dumb and aren't as cute as mutts.

Simple. Well that's what I think anyway.

And yes I agree with the "it's like saying to humans a black and s white can't have babies" Hmm.

Answer 5

Any breeder whether they are making mutts or making purebreds without the proper genetic screening are out for a buck. Mutts are bred right now with no purpose other than to generate money for the particular breeder hence the world useless. The majority of accepted dog breeds have a purpose beyond being a companion.

I've had mutts and purebreds but if I am going to spend good money on an animal I want a purebred if I am gonna adopt I will get a mutt.

Everyone is making poodle mutts right now to cash in on the poodles are hypoallergenic dogs fad the problem is that 80-90% of those pups end up having hair like the other parent and then are sent to the shelter.

Backyard breeders are people who let their dogs breed all the time and people who breed without sowing their animals, doing genetic testing or anything else REPUTABLE breeders do

And there is a big difference between humans of different races having kids vs mutts

One there are only a handful of diseases that are exclusive to one race or another. Mixed race children are prone to any of the problems that a mutt dog will likely be.

Answer 6

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion...

Mine is mutts are far from useless, I have two and I find them quite use full and I love them.

I don't think people should intentionally breed them though because there is enough mutts sitting in shelters waiting for a home or worse the needle!

It is a supply and demand thing for me.

Answer 7

Dogs are descendants of wolves. But they are losing all their original characteristics. Most breeders are the mutts. They are breeding mutant dogs for money. Pedigree dogs are being bred with debilitating genetic diseases. The dogs are in pain and genetically deformed, for the sake of vanity and profit.

We are destroying the real dog. Mutts are the true original wolf.
