And I can tell you right now, I have a Lab X (rescue dog) and except for a small white patch on her chest and a bit longer coat no one could tell she is not a purebread. Not only that but she was the easiest dog to train I have ever seen, she has a great temperment is amazingly smart.
Stats out there do indicate that your average "heinze 57" is more intelligent and more trainable then your average purebread and I can attest to that with my personal experience.
IMO definatley get a rescue dog, so many great ones. But if you decide not to then at least buy from a breeder, Petland is pure garbage and I can guarantee despite their assurances, your dog will be from a puppy mill.
