This is not a question anyone can answer, because the answer is based on opinion.

Mixed breed dogs are every bit as good as pure breeds. The difference is that pure breed dogs tend to be more intense in personality because they were bred to serve a specific purpose. On the other hand, mixed breed dogs tend to have fewer health problems because they have a more diverse genetic background.

Pure breds should have a fairly consistent appearance and personality, while mixed breeds will be more unique.

In the end, the decision of which to choose is up to you. You should assess what you want in a dog, and look for one that embodies those traits. It doesn't matter if it's a pure bred or a mix as long as its the right dog for you.

Why are some breeds of beef cattle referred to as sire breeds and some as dam breeds?

"Sire" breeds, also called terminal breeds, are those that are best used for breeding calves that are best for beef production (being fed and slaughtered for beef.) "Dam" breeds, also called maternal breeds, are those that are best used for breeding replacement animals like bulls and heifers that are used in breeding herds. Now as to why such breeds are called terminal or maternal breeds are because they have certain genetic characteristics that entitle them to be best used for raising calves for beef or for the breeding herd. This shows you that not all breeds are the same as the other and have the same genetic characteristics as another. For instance, Charolais cattle are best used as a terminal breed versus Shorthorn because of the ability of calves to grow quickly and gain weight in a shorter amount of time than Shorthorns. Shorthorns are best used as a maternal breed because they have better mothering, calving and milking ability than Charolais do and thus take less labour to care for and raise calves than Charolais do.

Why are Brangus heifers better than other breeds?

Besides the fact they possess hybrid vigour due to a mix of two distinct breeds, Angus and Brahman, they are in fact not better than other breeds, be they purebred or composite. All breeds have their flaws, and traits that make one better than the other, and often the flaws certain breeds have outdo the perfections if the living conditions, environment or management are not suitable for that particular breed or for you.

What is the best cattle breed?

There are no "best" breeds. All breeds have their faults, and one thing that is better or worse than another. "Best" breeds go according to (and pretty much only) to one's entitled opinion. Best breeds go according to what one prefers over another, whether its colour, mothering ability, forage convertability, carcass qualities, size, uniqueness, or what works best for them in their area. For instance, some people think that Angus and Hereford are better than all other breeds. Other folks will think that Beefmasters are the better breeds in comparison to Angus or Charolais. The possibilities go on, and so do the opinions.
