I too prefer a pure bred dog, but that does not alter the fact that some non-professional or hobby breeders may have just as good a quality pure bred dog. AKC registered is AKC registered, and I have the the pedigree information on both my dogs. All reputable breeders (even by your standard) will have some dogs that are less than desirable. That is just the genetics of selective breeding, you have to take the bad with the good. And that is where this whole conversation started. I find it distastful for you to put down good hearted, hard working people, that may be doing a great job of breeding and raising dogs, just because they do not show.
