Mutts are good dogs, in general. You usually don’t have to worry about the [genetic] problems of a purebred.
I love mutts. Always have and always had one or two.
Sadly, the last two died of different types of cancer.
Dog food? Not sure, I always fed good food. Not the bottom, bargin basement stuff.
M last two were the best... I no longer believe that mutts are are “immune” thgan purebreds. Sad but true.
That's true. Everyone I know who has ever adopted a purebred ended up dealing with genetic issues. Mutts are more unpredictable as far as personality but are much healthier.
Sadly, this is not true. Randomly bred dogs also have health issues. They are just less predictable (and you can be pretty sure their parents weren’t screened for anything.)
However, I’m all for adopting from shelters. People should get the dog they want.
