NO! It doesn't matter if the dog is a purebred poodle or a mixed pitbull they are still a dog and they still deserve to be loved. I believe that a dog or a dog from the shelter is the best dog because they are unique and not many other people have a dog like that. I have a Husky-Airedale mix and he is the best dog in our community everybody always comment on how lovable and cute he is and how well tempered he is. He visits most of our neighbours with my dad everyday and a man in our community even told my dad that he doesn't really care much for dogs but if he could have one like my Boo he would get one in a heartbeat. So my conclusion is that a purebred is not any better than a mixed breed they are still a dog.
The myth that mixed-breeds are healthier is widespread, but not true at all. A dog is a mix of two (or more) breeds, does not mean that any genetic faults or health problems that come with one breed are cancelled out with another. In fact, the resulting offspring can inherit both of the parent's genetic issues, such as hip dysplasia and elbow dysplasia, just to name a few of the more common health issues.
A dog, either mixed or or purebred, belonging to a good, reputable breeder has a much higher chance of producing healthier offspring. The reason for this is that good breeders spend many hundreds of pounds/dollars on health tests, which test the potential breeding dog's elbows, hips, eyes, and whatever else that may be a health issue in the particular breed. A good breeder will only breed a dog if it has good scores (amongst other things). This ensures the risk of passing on genetic problems to the offspring is kept at a absolute minimum.

What is the difference between a thoroughbred and other horses?
Pedigree dogs are purebred (both of the Dog's parents were the same breed) and have their ancestries recorded and logged by the Kennel Club. Well-bred purebred dogs are tested for possible genetic faults that could be passed down. Breeding dogs are also often Champion show dogs who are deemed as a perfect example of the breed. Non-pedigree dogs could be purebreds without papers or crossbreeds. These dogs may or may not be tested for health and temperament. Pedigree dogs have up to five generations of family history recorded and are completely purebred. If you buy a purebred without Kennel Club pedigree papers then technically it is not purebred as you have none of the Dog's ancestry recorded to prove it.
What is a pedigree horse?
A horse with a pedigree is considered a "purebred" meaning he is not of mixed heritage. The purest and oldest breed of domestic horse is the Arabian and all other breeds (including Thoroughbreds) can trace their lines back to the Arabian Horse. As new breeds are developed, different purebred breeds are crossed until the desired traits are achieved.
