I haven't voted because I really don't prefer one over the other. I have two cross breeds (1 rescue, 1 from breeder) and a KC reg Border Collie, they are all brilliant and all individuals with their own personalities, I don't think any of them are better than the others!

i don't favor one over the other, but like i say i have only ever owned pedigrees one a rottie and my current pet border terrier, both KC reg. However my family have and currently own x breeds and they are wonderful dogs, its just i have been told that x breeds are better to have:
1. because they are less likely to get knicked
2. have many traits so can have different ways about them
3. less suppseptible to catching diseases (so im told)

I think it is just the luck of the draw! I have had pedigree's and now have a crossbreed! Only had him 2 and a half weeks and he has been so easy to train, Sitting really well and now going into the down position and even doing the finish part of a free recall! So who knows!

I picked pedigree but I have owned cross breeds from the rescue centre.
I show my dogs so need to have a kc reg dog to do so

Do you mean hereditary conditions?

well iv been told, now i dnt think this is true, but apparently x breeds are less likely to catch parvo, distemper and........whats that other one......... or thats it hepatitis or how ever ya spell it but like i say i can't see that being true

I like both,I have had GermanShepherds and Labradors.and I have a cross terrier who is the best little dog ever.most dogs I love and I have worked with loads over many years so I could not say one way or other......

For me its pedigree,its nice to walk down a street and people know your breed With a pedigree breed you can look back at the breeds history and know what it was bred for!Something ya cant do with a mongrel!

Sound like a load of rubbish to me too! Standard vaccination protects against parvovirus, distemper and infectious canine hepatitis anyway.

yeah thats what i thought some people lol i do agree with garry though when you have people coming up to you saying 'what a beautiful border terrier' it gives u quite a buzz
