The official definition of purebred reads as follows: canines who are “bred for many generations from a member of a recognized breed or strain” or “a pedigreed animal of unmixed lineage.” According to the American Kennel Club, a purebred dog means “the sire and dam of a dog are members of a recognized breed and the ancestry of a dog consists of the same breed over many generations.”
Here are a few reasons to consider for owning a purebred dog:
The main problem with purebreds stems from inbreeding. To create a purebred puppy, you need two dogs from the exact same gene pool. Because this pool is already limited, many breeders use the same family gene pool to create more dogs. As a result, there is a higher risk of genetic defects with each successive coupling.
Yes, you can predict some behavior traits in purebred puppies. If you want a herding breed, then choose a breed with those traits and the chances are they’ll inherit them. The same goes for dogs who are more relaxed or have high energy. There are, however, some aspects of temperaments that are not inherited, but rather based on how the dog is raised and in what environment.
They’re a good choice:
I had a great experience at Waggs to Riches!
All of the puppies are healthy and from private breeders, as the breeders information is placed on each cage. Ask the employees any questions about the puppies and they are very knowledgable, as well as attentive. If they don’t know an answer to your question about a certain puppy, they make sure to find out for you. You truly get what you pay for and if you want a healthy puppy with a creditable background, shop at Waggs To Riches. Thanks to the owner and her staff I had an amazing experience shopping here.
