I like both. I have had a mutt that was an amazing dog, she was well mannered and sweet with everyone. I also now have two pure bred dogs. We have Bernese Mt dogs. And I love them just as much. I do however agree there are many, many dogs needing a good home. I often think adoption will be my next way to go when I am looking for another one. But that is not happening anytime soon.
All dogs are wonderful, and I agree with the need to find homes for so many is very important.
I have had both and loved them equally.
