A lot of purebreds have more problems than the average mutt. Things like:
Aortic stenosis
Dilated cardiomyopathy
Elbow dysplasia
IVDD (InterVertebral Disk Disease)
Hypoadrenocorticism
Atopy/allergic dermatitis
Bloat
Cataracts
Epilepsy
Portosystemic shunt
Mutts are the best. I wouldn't want to own any kind of dog other than a mutt.
