Most dog breeds started as mutts, that were healthy and had characteristics that someone valued, and bred into a "breed" that bred true, throwing only litters of pups that grew into adults resembling the parents.
The difference of todays reality is that people who MADE breeds, were interested in the health and use of the dog they were trying to create. If the person doing the breeding has the health and use of the dog in mind, then a mixed breed(i.e. labradoodle) can become it's own breed, with good health and distinct genetic characteristics. There are lines of labradoodles that are distinct.. but too many other "labradoodles" that are anything from poodle looking to lab looking to lsasa apso looking... so there is not established breed of labradoodle.
If you were breeding caramel ball pythons without regard to kinking or health.. then you'd be as bad as someone breeding puggles with lousy knees and allergies.. in my opinion.
If you think mixing species of dogs is the same with breeding different morphs of Ball Pythons....you need to leave.

I cannot begin to describe how assinine this statement sounds. A poodle bred to a great dane, WILL NEVER be the same as a bumblebee or whatever was quoted. The fact that you even think that is quite scary.

There are over 800 different breeds of dogs, all of which are completely different in the genetic make up, except for the fact that they are in fact, DOGS.

How many morphs of ball pythons that you know of are physically different from the other, not color, but shape/size........0. you breed to ball pythons together, they are still two ball pythons. You breed two dogs together, they may be "dogs" but with the genetic variations of "dog" they are not the same species, but Sub-species.

I really cannot believe that you actually typed this. It may be your opinion, but when opinions involve facts......are they really opinions?
