Random Traits

• some believe mixed-breeds adapt better to new home and have a more friendly disposition.

• mixed-breeds are normally sold at a lower price.

• It Is less of a risk to buy a purebred because, as earlier stated, they are more predictable.

When you adopt a crossbred dog, you are saving a life! Mixed-breeds completely vary in colors and certain features. Personality can also be as varied as their owner! They are generally considered healthier than purebred dogs, because they draw from a larger gene pool. Your crossbred dog will be one of kind and, although their different traits may not be set in stone, they can be perfect for you!

• although the breed effects how the they will look, the personality and behavior really depend on how you raise the dog.

• some dog shows are limited only to purebred

• purebred dogs were bred for a specific purpose, like hunting or finding scents.

• any dog can be trained to do specific things by their owner.

Thank you for watching!!

I hope you have learned more about the differences in having a purebred vs. a crossbred, so later on you can make an educated decision on getting the perfect fit for your family!

How do genes get passed down?

Black fur is dominant to the liver fur (which is a recessive gene) so that means, if there is one of each, the dominant will overpower and produce onto the puppy.

For a recessive gene to get passed to a puppy, there will need to be two copies of it,so the mother and father will both have liver fur if the puppy does.

Conclusion:

By Emma S.

I actually have 2 dogs, both crossbred. So

basically, I prefer crossbreeds because when you adopt, and save, a dog from a rescue shelter, I think that contributes more help to our community than buying a purebred from a breeder. But honestly,

in the end I just love all kinds of dogs, young or old, big or small, crossbred or purebred!
