I've volunteered for years for the humane society. Part of what I did was pick up a dog at about 6am to take to the local NBC affiliate for their pet spots. I was always amazed when I'd walk through the kennels and see a purebred.
But we ended up with mutts. Our first had heartworm. So after $1400 we declared her a purebred. She's living a long life.
We take both of our dogs hiking, but only on the low rated trails. The hardest was a summit hike to about 3k feet. A baby deer became very interested in our dogs, and our auxiliary mutt wanted to play. Mama deer, not so much. That was scary for a few minutes. Mama escorted us off the summit.
