I had a pedigreed Samoyed and my husband and I rescued a chow-mix who turned out to be a wonderful companion. When my Samoyed passed on we decided to rescue more dogs rather than purchase pedigreed dogs (we don't show our animals) because we are finding that rescues make wonderful and grateful pets. I also agree with your point about non-pedigreed individuals. I have found that many times, folks who have worked their way through state colleges, or the military academies are the hardest workers and have the best attitudes around.

I got my undergrad and grad degree from a school that isn't winning many awards, and doesn't impress people. Its only affected me in one interview (that I know of). But its true - there's lots more to your value than a pedigree (just watch the people on The Apprentice to see how valuable degrees from big schools are ;)) This is a cool story.

And so true. Of our ten rescued dogs, none have a pedigree. And all are wonderful. Same with folks. I think the best hires are often the ones with the slightly-off pedigree, the overbite, or whatever imperfection makes them perfect for the job at hand. Kent Carl,
