      Personally, I do not breed dogs, although I do love dogs. Selective breeding is how you create breeds of dog that have a particular trait. For example, if you wanted puppies with large blue polka dots on their backs, you would pick the dogs you see with the best blue polka dots and breed them together. And keep doing that until you have a new breed, all of which have blue polka dots.

      We only breed cute mice where I work, so no puppies.

      In my opinion, all puppies are cute! However, I also do not breed dogs – I always get rescues!

      I can only answer from a personal perspective – in that my puppy Luna is the cutest cross-breed ever of chihuahua and pug!
