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.

Wifey has allergy’s.  Yorkies and poodles are somewhat hypoallergenic breeds.

We got this one from a family, not a breeder, so we’re hoping she’s healthy.

I hope so too. And as far as I'm concerned breeders can go breed themselves!

We're lucky with the wife's chosen dog breed.  They live 15 or so years.

Maybe we're not so lucky....  :o
