Many folks adore all dogs, and some love purebred dogs and many love the good old Mixed breeds.
There really is no right or wrong answer here. All dogs are wonderful and special in their own right.
The only things we need to make sure we pick the right dog for our family. So looking at size, temperament of a breed or mix, energy levels are all important.
If you don't like to run, have a lot of room for the dogs to run, and are looking for a couch potato a Husky will not be a great dog for you.
If you are out and about hiking and running and have a busy outdoor life a doxi may not be able to keep up with you.
All this matters, make the wrong choice and life will be frustrating not just for you but the dogs as well.
So Ask questions from other owners, read the history of a breed or mixed breeds, find out what the dogs where developed for because some things you just cannot hardwire out of the dog.
Now I am not going to suggest you go to dog shows and ask all your questions most of those dogs lead a pretty pampered life and do not do all the things a normal dogs would do. Ask local people you see in a pet store what is good about their dogs what is frustrating :) many will be happy to share. Ask Vets or go visit a training class or talk to a trainer. Some might have biases about breeds so between the reading and the talking you can develop a sense if a breed or type of cross might be for you.
