I don't think one is superior over the other, in regards to mutts vs purebreds. I think it depends on what you want in a dog, and what you don't want in a dog.

Obviously, if you want to show conformation, you MUST have a registered purebred... but I've seen some registered purebreds with FAR worse conformation than a mutt dog!

Some people want a registered purebred just as a pet, because they want the comfort of knowing their dog's genetic history and the dogs behind it. Some people don't care about that.

I don't understand why one group of people needs to try to make the other feel inferior... Some people like mutts. Some people like purebreds. Some people just like a good dog, no matter what its background is.
