Pedigree or Cross-breed???

What would you prefer to have???
i have been told that cross-breeds are more hardy, less likly to chatch diseases and infections, how true this is, i don't know!
What do you have? or what would you prefer to have???
I currently have a pedigree border terrier who is really naughty however my mother has a German Shephard/Husky cross and he is a lovely dog, dead well behaved and i don't no if its bacause hes a cross, and so dosen't have the traits of a pedigree?

I prefer pedigrees!!!!

How about you??????????

Re: Pedigree or Cross-breed???

I have Two SBT's,fab dogs,well behaved now,Tylers always been good,Meg was naughty as a pup but is brilliant now...They are excellent around the kids thats one of the reasons we chose the breed.
So for me it will always be a KC Reg SBT.

Re: Pedigree or Cross-breed???

I don't know if anyone else agrees but we rescued our dog from the local rescue centre 2 years ago and he has so much love to give which I think is down to him being a Rescue dog and appreciating a good life with us.

Not sure if this is anything to do with being a x breed or not though

Re: Pedigree or Cross-breed???

The few pedigree dogs I have known quite well have been absolute pains, plus the fact that they are more susceptable to being 'dognapped'. I, personally, preffer cross breeds as you get the traits from two or more different breeds. Although, in later life, I would seriously consider owning a SBT, I think I will mostly stick to cross breeds.

Re: Pedigree or Cross-breed???

I'm a fence sitter on this i have a lurcher and 2 pedigree's and they're all fab. My lurcher was from a rescue home but we've had him since he was a pup.

I'd always hope to have a mix like we have now. Although with pedigrees they would always be kc reg and crossbreeds from a rescue home.
