It's a popular generalization that comes from a few prominent examples of problem breeds. What results is a kind of misinformed reverse snobbery: "I am a better and more moral dog owner because I own a mixed-breed rescue dog."
"The theory states that, with a subconscious set of mental filters formed from his or her beliefs and experiences, every individual interprets the same world differently, hence "Truth is in the eye of the beholder".

You can't deny Welsh many look down their noses at "mutts" and you don't own a dog, unless its "purebred". Quite simply, if there wasn't any stigmatism, people would call them mixbreeds and not Mutts...
/looks at every reply and nope, don't see the correct terminology used once :)
At the end of the day, they are all dogs. They want nothing more than a home, a BFF or BFamF and come with no or few conditions. Its only us, that care about their pedigrees be that "pure" bred or ill bred.
Having said all that. :)
A friend of mine owns a Toller, playing with her at a lake on Saturday, I was reminded of the days only a handful of years ago when I was looking for my next dog..She made me wish I had listened to my heart and not my head.
That's true, but I don't see why it matters. It doesn't make the reverse snobbery any more sensible.Quote:
