Are mutts and strays the only option?

I managed to adopt a pedigree welsh corgi :3. So it is possible to get a pure bred, but it'll take a while.

You can also create one in create a pet and then add that one to your family.

Sometimes other Sims in the neighborhood will have pets for sale, too.

i created a few pets , in create mode, and they all turned out to be mutts....? theres no option in create a mode for breed? it allows you to select what type of breed the dog appears to be, but when you put dog in the game and look at its details, its a mutt...Is there anyway to create a full breed dog?

How do you find out which sims are selling what breed?

There are sometimes pure bred dogs in the list of dogs to adopt from the shelter but most of them are mutts(I think only 1 of the dogs in the list I had to choose from wasn't a mutt)

You can look in the newspaper to see if an sim is selling an animal. So far it has been dogs for me but it can be cats and horses too.

Okay, I will give it a while, and see if any purebred dogs come up for sale in the neighborhood, because I see in adopt mode there are pure bred cats and horses, but dogs all mutts so far!

ive been playing for a few hours now...nothing but mutts...so now im thinking that a pure bred dog is just an urban legend (a lie), the only way ive found that you can see what the bred type is when you get ready to put them up for adoption...they have no value, and it will say breed type..mutt...so dissappointing....

Not a lie. You just have bad luck apparently. :(
