Purebred Dogs Disadvantages

Supply and Demand:

The supply and demand for dogs is very high. Purebred dogs are usually more wanted or demanded than mixed breeds. This is most likely for their outward beauty and specific features. However, purebreds have their pros and cons. Firstly, a purebred dog takes away from shelters. Millions of healthy mutts are stuck in cages in animal shelters and pounds.
