Unlike what some of the critics and skeptics have said here, the fact is that all ETHICAL breeders will, from time to time, do what is called "outcrossing", which is taking the dogs of their line and mixing them with dogs (of the same breed) from other lines. This diversifies their own lines, and minimizes the negative effects of "inbreeding".

Only puppy farms produce dogs which are excessively (and poorly) inbred.

Oh yeah... I hate Puppy Farms. They are so cruel.

I dont think its right to purebreed dogs considering(like some of you have said) the animal's are more likley to have illaments (sp?) than dogs that are mix bred. i also dislike the idea of crufts and how they think a " pure breed dog" should look, cos they encourage people to breed breeds such as english bulldog and pug to have shorter muzzles so they cant breathe aswell and the premote docking, (which in my opion is just plain cruel) to make a breed look better.
(personly i think a rottweiler with its tail is much more handsome than without)
