I never knew that they could mix
Actually this is how ALL purebred dogs were created, by mixing different local Mongrels then inbreeding to get a set "look"[
]
Purebred dogs are fairly new to the world of dogs, there have always been natural breeds which naturally developed due to the enviroment they were in...just like people we have black people who developed due to their environment..more pigments to deal with intense sun. Eskimo's with slanted eyes to ward off the glare of the sun on the ice and an amazing genetic tendancy to be able to handle lots more fat due to the environement & foods they had to eat. Pygmy's who are short, Indians etc. Each human race is not a purebred and we can easiely interbreed..we do not have Mutts, we have little humans[
] It's the same for dogs. If I wanted to create a purebred human like man did purebred dogs I would isolate a few dogs & inbreed and cross breed til I got the look and motor patterns I wanted. I think the only human purebreds I know of are the Royal family...but, they soon learned that way too many genetic problems inflict purebred breeding...and Hitler tried to create a purebred human.
So, dogs are all just dogs...some developed naturally due to nature...some developed artifically like our Purebreds. So, to have a Rottie and an APBT mix is perfectly normal and natural.[
