So true... If you're thinking of buying a pure breed dog, heavily consider getting one from the pound. They're happy to have a home and will be loyal and loving, plus you're saving a life! Also, from my experience, pure breeds often have problems with severe allergies, hip dysplasia, etc. Mixed breeds are usually pretty darn hearty!

Hey i have two dogs, a male and a bitch. My bitch is on heat but my boy isnt showing much interest. My bitch is jumping on him and iv seen him try a little but not very hard. I also had my boy around my friends male dog and he jumped on him straight away.any advise?

@aGoodTempo yeah i have a purebred yorkie female and i want to mate it with a purebred chihuahua male so then i would have a chorkie.

oh and you should also get a dog from a breeder too but a good breeder becuz soon those dogs from the breeder will give it to the pound :)

You should only ever breed a dog if it's pure bred, you are a breeder, and it's a show dog. If not, then go neuter it.

@ChickenNugget3467 firstly, there is NO "teacup" bree, it is just only a style of the seller to sell! cos ususally it is either the puppies are not healthy enough or the puppies will grow be much bigger than its own breed! I think it is depending on u, cos I got Caviler x Gold Reteriver mate will a pure collie (rough) and it is quiet ok I think!
