I've always felt that purebred dogs were unhealthy mutants. To imagine that chihuauas (sp) are descended from wolves is just unfathomable. Breeding form without regard for function is just ridiculous, and this video shows that - and how cruel these dogs shows are. There is a reason incest is outlawed in humans.
I would never buy a purebred animal. In fact, I was talking to my grandmother this last weekend, and we agreed that our family is much better off because of our genetic diversity (her father was 100% dutch and her mother 100% mexican), even if we are mutts ;)
