The Naming Game
If "fashionistas" are obsessed with brand names, some dog lovers
are hooked on dog breeds. This is because purebred dogs are
expensive and belong to the higher level of this particular
species.
Generally, dog breeds were incorporated to give distinctive
characteristics to certain classifications, thus, resulting in a
substantial number of varieties.
However, people who breed dogs often find it hard to detect the
specific characteristic of the resulting species. There are
times that offspring appear to be

different from their
"parents."
In dog breeding, experts contend that the offspring should have
the same characteristics as their parents, both physical
attributes and behavior. For example, a breeding pair of
Retrievers should produce the black puppies because purebred
Retrievers have black coats.
However, there are instances that retrievers produce puppies
that have yellow coats. Hence, cases like this are not
considered by the known Kennel clubs. What happens next is that
these yellow retrievers are sometimes "euthanized" by

breeders based on the notion that they want to curb the probable
reoccurrence of such species.
This particular issue has long been debated by many dog experts
and scientists because of the fact that there are certain
instances wherein genetic consequences may intervene.
In addition, studies show that dog breeds, like the human race,
have no specific scientific origins and that their breeds cannot
even be identified and proven even by DNA. So, the chances of
getting a purebred dog are not that common.
However, because

of the existence of dog breeds, Kennel clubs
only consider pure dog breeds on their competitions.
Today, there are about 160 dog breeds being recognized by the
club, but most people can only recognize a dozen or two. In
fact, even those who are experts in dog breeding may still
confuse a certain breed as a cross between two dog breeds.
Hence, dog breeds should not be considered as a basis on whether
or not a certain dog will bite. Most people have this thinking
that there are dog breeds that will not bite.
People should keep

in mind that dog biting is based on behavior,
in which certain environmental and social variables trigger the
behavior. Hence, experts contend that there is no breed of dog
that will attack somebody without any reason at all. This means
that 99.9% of all dogs will not attack anyone as long as there
are no viable reasons that will trigger the attack.
The bottom line is that dog breeds may still vary, depending on
their genetic make-up. Hence, the foundation of classifying dogs
according to their physical attributes and behavior may be
affected

by different factors.
It isn't any wonder why the issues about purebreds are endless!
