Amanda, the way you say is like ppl owning pedigree dog is only good at selling puppy at higher price.
There are few benifits in owning a pedigree dog register with local kennel club.
- A Pedigree is the family tree of the dog. This will show the parents, grand parents, and great grandparents, up to 4 generations back. Pedigrees are used to decide what breedings will produce the best results based on the background of each dog.
- When participating in the shows the titles of "Champion" "Grand Champion" to different degrees can be achieved. These will appear on Registration certificates and Pedigrees as Ch, Gr Ch, & etc.
Purebreds or mixed breeds. The only significant difference between the two is that purebreds, because their parents and other ancestors are all members of the same breed, generally conform to a specific "breed standard." This means that you have a good chance of knowing what general physical and behavioral characteristics a puppy of that breed is likely to have.
Some people think that when they purchase a purebred, they're purchasing a guarantee of health and temperament. This is simply not true. In fact, the only thing the "papers" from purebred dog registry organizations certify is that the recording registry maintains information regarding the reported lineage and identity of the animal.
Mixed breeds, on the other hand, offer several advantages that prospective pet owners may fail to consider. For example, when you adopt a mixed breed, you get the benefit of two or more different breeds in one animal. You also get a pet who is less prone to genetic defects common to certain purebred dogs.
Purebred or mixed breed, it's important to make sure your favorite type of dog breed fits with your lifestyle. So first become knowledgeable about what kind of dog breed you want and about what it takes to be a responsible owner.
Lastly, Buy your puppy from a responsible and well-respected breeder. Responsible breeders are concerned with the betterment of the breed. For example, they work on breeding healthier dogs with the appropriate temperament for their breed. Once you select a breeder, screen the breeder. Ask to see at least one of the parents (the dam or the sire) of your puppy. See how the dogs in your breeder's home interact with your breeder. Are they friendly and outgoing or do they shy away? The responsible breeder will be screening you, too, looking for the best home for each puppy.
Good Luck
