I have never had mutts because soe many pure breds are for free, but mutts and all dogs can be great friends. Many people depend on their pets for friendship. The professional dog people who make $$$ on the use of their pets don't love their pets anything like 1 person can love 1 pet and there is no $$$$$$$$$$ tag for their friend. DOG is priceless and her PUPS would be priceless, if she chooses to have pups someday! You can give something that is priceless away, but naturally you can't sell it.
