Disregard my first question I like the second better lol

Boston Terrier One down, one to go! Italian Greyhound ??

Just quickly wanted to add this which I found here http://www.dolforums.com.au/index.php?showtopic=187600 It is a report on breeds, breed problems, how many breeders now breed for colour or conformation and not the health of the dogs and how the careful cross breeding of certain breeds of dog can be beneficial. http://www.terrierman.com/mcgreevey-some-p...og-breeding.pdf I understand what you are saying Souff but it may not be in the best interest of the breed (I am speaking all breeds in general not just 1) to keep the blood line pure forever as it may just cause further problems in the future.

ok, but for what purpose? Crossbreeding isn't happening for a genuine reason, its generally because people think they can make cute dogs and make a buck. breed development where people are aiming for breed recognition seems to be what you are talking about. This is different to everyday crossbreeding. Yes it is what I am talking about. I realise that the majority of people who cross breed do it for money or looks and that is not a good reason. I don't support this. In the end my OP was to point out that you could get the same issues from a pure bred that was all. I was not promoting cross breeding or saying it is ok in this day and age.

Very true. This is why I would never support someone cross-breeding a Chi to a Great Dane or a Cattle Dog to a Staffy. I meant proper crossbreeding between breeds of similar, size, traits, jobs, appearance and temperament can be beneficial. In the end my main point was that pure breeds can also have the same health issues as a cross breed. Some how it veered away from that and into a much more heated discussion regarding people crossbreeding and how I am apparently against pure breeds which I am absolutely not and hope to have myself a lovely pure bred dog of which ever breed I decide one day.

Not at all still here. That was quite rude. Clearly you have nothing more sophisticated or educated to say then some smart ass remark. I am trying to be friendly and have a discussion with you and because I don't share your views you are being absolutely rude. Grow up. What is rude about the term "hybrid vigour" ? I think you are being naughty telling another poster to "grow up". I might have a word with Troy about that. I didn't say the term was rude it is the way you constructed your sentence. Especially after I posted what I did explaining that I wasn't in this for a fight I just wanted a healthy discussion. Report me that is fine. If telling someone who I feel is acting childish instead of participating in a adult discussion is "naughty" then I am happy to cop it on the chin. I still do not know what you are on about with the "hybrid vigour" remark. You had disappeared off the board and I just thought that as you were a dedicated fan of crossbreeding you had gone off to get some of the oft quoted stuff on "hybrid vigour". I honestly don't see how that is rude. You must have a different perception of things to me. Souff computer must be in repeater mode! Souff I am sorry if I took your remark the wrong way, my apologies for that. It is just at times I have seen the same term used elsewhere as a sort of joke and I felt you were making me a joke. I had actually just gone to peruse other topics while I waited for a response.

There was a great thread by Jed which explained how many purebreds may have come about. By choosing particular dogs with the desired attributes or ones that would improve current dogs. Not by crossing already established breeds necessarily, as many breeds were developed around the same time before there were breed standards as such. Hi Kavik, Thanks for your input. This is a valid point. I hadn't considered this. Again I was not saying that crossbreeding any dog is ok. And if you think about it before there were established breeds all dogs were cross breeds and this is how they would have continued had we not decided to selectively breed dogs etc. Saying dogs should only breed with the same breed is similar to saying that Australian's shouldn't have babies with Americans or Chinese because it will cause birth defects we are all the same species but different in ways. Just like dogs are all the same species.
