You do realize that “mixed breeds” will still manifest the same genetic health problems as the purebreds that created them?

With a pure bred, you know what to watch for.

Mixed breeds tend to “surprise” you.

“Hybrid vigor” is but a cherished myth.

Bottom line is that the show breeders who have constantly disregarded health and function for fashionable form have created a nightmare for *all* dogs.

A mutt still tends to be more healthy then a lot of the pure breeds. but bad genes is bad genes and is being inflicted by the puppy mills around the country
