I’d just like to give a shout out for responsibly bred purebred dogs. Not all purebreds are created equal! Many of the problems that purebred dogs have today are because of puppy mills, but also because of irresponsible home breeders who do not test for genetic health, do not screen potential owners and are not there for the life of the puppy.

I’ll put in a vote for the Brittany. I realize it’s not one of the more common breeds which is why it’s often missed. Perfect family dog though…it’s a gun dog, so manly enough…and so yet so good looking that every woman on the street wants to stop and pet it. Plus it’s great with kids and other neighborhood dogs.

Can I add my vote for mutts? I had pure breeds when I was growing up (boxers) and, while incredibly loyal and friendly, they had a lot of health issues. My lab mutt on the other hand is incredibly healthy, despite all the garbage she eats if I’m not paying attention.

Unless you’re planning to breed or show your dog, consider a mutt. There are so many of them looking for good homes that you can get one cheap (free usually). At the very least, if you absolutely must have a pure breed, work with one of the rescue shelters instead of a breeder or puppy mill. You’ll never find a more loyal companion than a dog that you rescued.

A real man doesn’t care about pedigree :)
