Re: Mutts/Mongrels/Moggies! They deserve good homes too.
ah my fault i missed this
"A 1994 Time magazine article on the effects of over breeding reported that as many as 25 percent of the 20 million purebred dogs in the US are afflicted with a serious genetic problem.
Mixed breeds, on the other hand, have something called hybrid vigor. When you mix two or more separate gene pools, the recessive genes that carry the health problems are buried. As a result, you often get a healthier animal."
Correct then! So people.. wanna have dogs with lower potential of medical bills.. go mutt...
After all those money you spent..
