wonder if there would be less dogs in shelters if in fact the breeds were changing to more fit in with the 21st century family ? If more people got lower energy pets instead of herding breeds for instance, I wonder of less would get dropped off because the family can't handle the workload.

GOOD POINT! We got our mixed breed and boy if we weren't committed people she would have been sent back! She was not at all like what we thought we were getting. She was a quiet mild mannered little thing that turns out to be a wily energetic bouncing herding dog! sheesh.
I agree - too many dogs have instincts that don't 'fit' our lifestyles today

Good sentence CK - I too opose indiscriminate breeding, but I am unwilling to accept point blank that any and all cross breed breeding is indeed indiscriminate.

that pretty much sums it up for me too.
