Hi guys,
As you know, I am looking for a new puppy to grace our home. I have a question and who better to ask than all of you? When you are getting a mix breed, how much attention should you pay to the traits characteristic to that particular breed it is mixed with?
For example, I just went on dogbreedinfo.com and read about the Chow Chow, which my Bear is mixed with. If I would've read that before getting him - I might not have taken him! It goes on and on how dominant, willful, and bossy they are. Well, nothing could be further from the truth for my passive easygoing Bear.
We have our eye on a sharpae/husky mix. I just read about the huskys and they say they may dig under a fence and go off hunting. Well, that would be my worse nightmare, we have a very large fenced in yard that is perfect for my dogs. I enjoy being able to open the door and let them go without worry. Having a dog that could get out would be very dangerous as I'm in a pretty busy area. When a dog is mixed is it just a toss up? What do you all think?
