I don't believe it matters whether a dog is a full pedigree or cross breed I firmly believe a dog is a dog and its how you treat them and raise them that makes the dog.

I agree totally .. I have only ever owned a pedigree Springer though .. But yeh I feel the aame

My own cousin told me of a beautiful Alsatian cross GSD in her street, but its more Alsatian if you ask her.

Don't know how I kept a straight face.

Re: Pedigree or Cross-breed???
I've only ever had rescue dogs who have been crossbreds - although crossbreeds of what is (generally) anyone's gues!

Definately agree with the previous comment of sskmick

Re: Pedigree or Cross-breed???
l did vote pedigree but only as you know what they will turn out like.

I have had 3 GSD and 1 GSD/Lab and at the moment still have 1 GSD, a JR and a Yorkie X - his Mum was Yorkie and Cairn. Also just about to get his younger sister.

I just love dogs and after all Cesar Milan says that a breed is just a dog with a designer coat on.
