I would never get a purebred dog and that is yet another reason. I have had two mutts live to 14 and another one is 10 now.

Get a mutt and rescue them from a shelter or rescuer. I have not regretted it even if they are little shits. Even the big ones are little shits.

Absolutely agree on that, our cats are rescues and we'd do the same for any dog.

had a Shepard/retriever mutt growing up, by far the longest lived dog I had, her brother was the longest lived of the litter (and the neighbour's) at like 16. Have family that show for fun, only do it if the dogs enjoy it, I don't like the way some people talk about their dogs, definitely not a fan of breeding practices in general.
