Why Pedagree rather than Pound Puppys?

Why do people continue to pay big bucks for Pedagree dogs that are inbread and have all the problems that go with inbreading rather than adopt Pound Puppys that are mixed breads and have less mental problems?

For bragging rights mostly.

some people arent the smartest. I just put in my adoption form for a sweet little 4 week old australian shepherd/mountain dog mix. Its soo cute and i cant wait to hear back and hopefully go get her in 2 weeks when shes ready for adoption.

I agree with Jakko and Animallover. They want to brag. I have a dog from the pound. He's a black German Sheperd. I got him 3 years ago. He is sooo cute!

YOU SAID IT!!! I swear people are so ridiculous going paying all this money for dogs. And even worse dogs at pet store who not only are inbred but aren't even right like 30lb yorkies. WHAT IS THAT.. Every single purebred dog I've been around has serious mental issues. I just don't get it. - Proud owner of a BEAUTIFUL "Mixed breed dog"

Why ray ban and not a $1.00 pair form the dollar tree and why pay $45.00 for a pair of jeans when you can go the thrift store and pay .25 a pair

Well, becauase you cant tel how big a "mixed breed" will get or what it will look like as an dult. But I do agree that it sholdent matter
