[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]IF you're getting a well bred dog, then that price is worth it, because you're more likely to have a healthy, long-lived, well tempered companion. If you're getting a BYB dog, then not so much.[/quote] Actually it’s false that an AKC dog is by definition well bred - the organization does basically nothing to assure breeders are breeding for optimal health and temperament, they just sell the accreditation to any breeder that ‘promises’ to and that’s that. Lots and lots of AKC dogs are poorly bred and that’s why any veterinarian would tell you if health and longevity is your primary concern then a mixed breed is always a better choice and it’s often no more or less certain on temperament mixed v purebred. Golden retriever have an abundance of genetically linked serious health issues that are both costly and painful to deal with, including hip dysplasia and cancers.[/quote] +1[/quote]
