You have the option to buy a pure bred dog, or a mutt.
(OK, same for cats...pure breed, or what do you call a feline variety of a mutt?)
which would you choose, and why?
Myself, I'd choose the mutt. Pure breed = so inbred that everything that can go wrong will go wrong, and it has an IQ of 2.

Howerver, as it happens I own a pure breed Belgian Sheep dog. We got her free from my aunt when Pickle was too old to have puppies. Retirement I guess :) Most of my aunt's dogs are highstrung, anemic, and barky. But Pickle's an exception from most pure breeds, in that she's the most intelligent and friendly dog I've ever met. I'm not just saying this because I own her, ask Worf.
So I guess I'm in the "I don't care what breed it is as long as it's intelligent and friendly" category.

I can confirm that :D

But if it came to choosing between a purebreed and a mutt, I wouldn't care. It would depend entirely on the animal's personality.
I've never bought a dog, but if I had to spend money to rescue an animal I'd do it, and have rescued many from bad situations...
Some pets have picked me, and I respect animals more than most humans...
Not a hard decision for me, just not one that fits into your categories A2597...
;)

Are you in some society or volunteers group? :)
I am in agreement with Phi and Biggles.
I'd also rather have a cat and probably get one that needed a home. With pure breeds with cats don't some have to stay indoors? My m8s does! And I couldn't do that. I believe cats should be out in the wild as well as being at home. Obviously you're not going to get that prob with a pure breed dog. But I personally think it pays off more when you get an animal that needs a home,they seem more loving. I had a cat that would've died if I or no-one else had picked it up. It was bascially not eating after having been abandoned, taken to RSPCA and being alone in a cage all day, every day.
Then again there are some out there that after abandonment that can turn rather nasty and not very tameable!
Also I wouldn't care for intelligence long as its friendly.

Yep, same here.

Don't like that they can find a way to get almost every place?;)
The problem is... I'm stark raving mad in love right now. And if anything comes out of this, I'm pretty sure it's for life, one way or the other. Too many things just click. And if this will be the case at some point (can't really dare dream yet)... we'll be the only couple on the block whose possible future kid will be the cool bugger with... the IGUANA!. :D
Yup, fur allergy, you guessed it. ;)

Yes well, thats a cat for you. ;)
[B]The other one is a lazy sod who is either sleeping stretched out somewhere or begging for food. [/B][/QUOTE]
Now gee, who does that remind me of? ;)
