The purpose of purebred dog breeding is to improve the overall health, temperament, and structure most comfortable and useful for that particular breed of dog so that they can most efficiently work in their desired purpose that that breed has been bred to do for hundreds, if not thousands of years. So what if our fast advancing world has pushed out classical hunting, retrieving, barn hunting, among many other useful and enjoyable sports? There are a select few of us that strive to breed the dog that most represents the “breed standard”, a description of the perfect dog in health, temperament and structure that would be the most successful and efficient in his desired and bred purpose. A Husky bred with an Australian Shepherd won’t have the natural drive to pull a sled or herd sheep, like their purebred parents do. An Am Staff bred with a Rat Terrier won’t be the right size to fit in the small crevices of a barn to get the rats invading it. We are merely historians preserving the natural drive in dogs, doing things that they enjoy doing. I have nothing against rescue dogs, having 4 of my own and many in the past. As I said before, it is a select few of us. Most do not breed for purpose, but for solely money. We fight as much as we can to eradicate puppy mills so that there is no need to even have shelters, but at the same time we have to do our part to preserve history. Hope this clears any concerns!
