Mutts are the way to go! Heres why…

Pure breed dogs start out with the first few examples of a breed. As they have puppies unrelated puppies are breed with each other. However, inevitably farther down the blood line dogs will get breed with other dogs that are distant relatives, because they originally started with just a few examples of the breed. As this happens genetic defects are created. Eventually, pure breed dogs are more susceptible to certain illness. For example, Westies, Poodles, and Cocker Spaniels have alot of food and environmental allergies. Wiemerieners have alot vaccine reactions. Chihuahuas, Boston Terriers and English Bulldogs are more prone to skin problems. Labs are prone to ear problems. Schnauzers have sensitive stomachs and get pancreatitis easily. Dachshunds tend to have thyroid issues, and dental problems.

Mix Breed dogs have broader bloodlines. Because of this, the are prone to less breed specific health problems, and are usually heartier, healthier dogs.

Besides, Pure Breed dogs are EXPENSIVE! Why pay so much money for a purebred whatever? You can help a homeless pet that is as good or better for much less money from your local animal shelter. Reduce the number of great unwanted animals that have to be euthanised, especially those mix breed puppies!
