Well be it mongrel or pure breed, they are still our best friend. I dont know why some ppl treat mongrel as different. Honestly, mongrel tend to be more healthy and smarter, just like the pair of dogs I see in my dog training class. Last month my wife went to PAWs (subang Jaya) and she recorded some clips to show me, I feel so sorrow and sad inside, even now when I'm typing this thread, call me emotional if u want to, but I just cant hide it. I see those dogs, in d cage, just waiting to be adopted, some for their time to go down, tears flow down my cheeks went my wife told me the caretakers relate incidents of how dogs know of their time to say goodbye.. and what dog of the month or most popular dog actually means, that is the last month that they will ever see world. So for those who want to keep a dog for companion, play or just for fun, please do visit PAWS and have a look, I have a pampered JRT at home, if I have the chance to get another dog I will definitely go to PAWS to look for a small breed, be it a mongrel or a pure breed, to me dogs are not any burden, but a friend u can count on.

i chose mikey my shih tzu as my 1st baby boy coz this is my 1st puppy ever!! and I wanted something more predictable, maintainable and most of all MUST BE SMALL SIZE...as he is sleeping with me in my student hse

when i move into my own hse one day, me n my bf have decided to get mongrels in and maybe together with a bull terrier to b our guard dogs..lolz...mogrels do have better immune system and intellectual ability than some pure breeds as they have some advantages over some genetic transmited conditions...

but i don think i can take in big big sized mongrels though, coz i don know how to maintain them ..
i tried talking out my uncle's collie for a walk once, and i ended up being pulled by the collie instead

Mongrels and Purebreeds are both dogs and there is no difference in them. They are both creation of God. I have question to those who only prefer purebreed. Do check up on your dog's certificate and see if its mentioned that the sire & dam is showdog. Well most of the time the certificate can be made on our own. Dont care if its MKA or other country dog association. I know this since I worked in a pet shop when I was studying in college last time. Trust me, dogs are just dogs. The best of best friend you can ever get.

Sometime I feel like crying when I see the way the breeders take care of the dogs and on their condition when they are being brough it. I believe that when you do/give today will comeback to you one day. Dogs are very precious. I'm in midst of adopting a dog now. This is the least I can do for the pity souls caged in.

There is DEFINATELY no difference between mongrels n purebreeds...to me,my lucky(11years pld passed away on d 1/1/07) and my ruby are my family ..both of them are not purebreeds but they make excellent company to me...

I believe dogs are men's best fren n they'll always remind as men's best fren no matter wat breed or kind...

smelly and miss mouse

love the thread!

my two cents? there is this vet who thinks we should abolish 'breeds' and just go for a combination of these varieties, S, M, L and long or short coat! I AGREE!

also, MOnty is missing so please pass the word around and help us find him. trust the bloody pedigree dolt to get lost/picked up.... my sheeri-baby would never be so.....gullible.

I do agree...dog is still dog and they needs love...my 1st 3 dogs are actually mongrel and all of them dies of old age...and it's really breaks my heart.....

Thta's why i agree with Ronnie. Never get a dog because of you just wanna have fun with it.....Keeping a dog for is a long term commitment for purebred and mongrel alike.


Ronnie, what happened to our JRT tread? Some1 took it down or what? By the way, will u be going to the dog show on 20th next month?

My family have 9 mongrel dogs stay at my place before for 9-16 years. I have to agreed with others with doesnt judge by pure breed or mongrel. they are dog. BUT in this society NOW, a lot of new/old owner still will GIVE differences of 'care' and 'love' toward purebreed and non purebreed dog.

Food for thought... perhaps



An oversimplification I'd admit but seeing that this thread's dominated by one general arguement only, I'd play the devil's advocate and try to inject some RWI into a really promising thread!

your fact is so wrong. mongrels are the one which are actually the descendants of mixed pure breeds hence, the term 'mixed breed' but i do agree that new breed of dogs are a result of cross breeding. the american cocker spaniel and english cocker spaniels are very good examples of new breeds as a result of selective breeding. the american - a smaller mouth, the english - a longer mouth.

Added on December 28, 2007, 7:51 pmAs for me, i treat both mongrels, and pure breeds alike. i never show favouritism to neither. yes, mongrels are generally deemed 'naughty' but NO, they CAN be trained just like any other dog. its just physical. both have the same mind.

another thing, some pure breeds have bad temper in nature for examplem the well known rottweiller BUT they still can be trained.

some ppl misunderstand n biased towards mongrel labelling them as naughty fellas.... but they r juz being more adventurous, independant n little smart ass.... if someone said mongrel is difficult or impossible to train, then he or she is juz not good enough... dun blame d dog
