The way that I look at dog breeding is very specific.
What do you want them to do?
If you want them to go to the park, go on walks, be lovey pups, and be a general companion then you really don't need a specific breed or anything other than perhaps the size and temperament of the dog. You can get a happy and healthy mutt that will be the goodest boi for you and give you over a decade of affection and love.
But ...If you want a dog to do a specific job or behave a very specific way then this is where you will need a very specific breed. This basically would go into any dog that is in the livestock guardian dogs, farm dogs, hunting dogs, police work, seeing eye dogs etc. If you want a dog to do a specific job, you need a dog that is bred to do that job.
So before you decide what you want think specifically if there's a certain job you want it to do or if you just have a breed preference which is usually based upon the traits that the dog was bred to do. Keep in mind that if you do get a purebred dog that is built for these traits to keep at home as your love muffin, they will be very unhappy if they are not allowed to do their breed behaviors in some fashion.
