Carolyn, I agree with you 100% and if I could give a "rec" for your post I
would! And what the heck is a Panda Shepherd?? Surely something came out of the
woodpile somewhere to cause all those white markings. And they are butt ugly.
Hopefully, they are a disqualification in the GSD standard.
I hope there is no misunderstanding. I have absolutely no interest in designer
breeds and not so happy about mutts exhibiting in AKC performance events w/o
proof of neutering. Now AKC is for pure bred dogs (sometimes;))
OTOH, I know many mixed breeds who are absolutely charming and wonderful pets.
When I first started grooming, I saw so many Benji want-to-bes. Some were big,
some were small, most had rotten temperaments. And now, I never see them
anymore. I say yea for the purebred dogs, and even more for the carefully, well
bred purebred dogs.
