May seem small but if people are looking to spend there money and they see grammar errors it might put "Should I really spend money on this" thoughts in there heads.

I'm right there with you buddy -- I typically won't notice errors like that but I can see it being a turn-off for many people.

I'm pretty sure it is "Purebred"
Now that'll be a nuisance for me everytime I look in the store :P
I suppose it could be classed as possesive (I am not linguist) "This horse is a Purebreed" or "This horse is Purebred"
Purebreed isn't actually a word, it's a bit of a colloquialism.
The correct usage would be 'pure-breed' or 'purebred'. In this case the hyphenation of 'pure-breed' turns the adjective 'pure' and noun 'breed' into a compound adjective of the subject. The difference is that 'bred' is already an adjective and the past/past participle of breed. The lack of hyphenation also shows that it should be placed after the noun it is describing.
The correct usage would be "This is a pure-breed horse" or "This horse has been purebred".
Although that's just splitting hairs and probably not something anyone would notice.
