I have heard from many people that Purebread dogs tend to be more likely to have health issues than Hybrids. People say this because when 2 dogs that are more likely to get a certain problem are bred together, then the litter is at higher risk to get these certain problems. Hybrids are less likely to have problems because the genetics aren't as strong, so they have less chance. I've had 2 great mutts and one was healthy basically its whole life, and the other had quite a bit of health issues. So, my question is...Would Hybrids be at less of risk to developing certain problems, or would they be more likely to develop many problems, because they are taking on both the mothers and fathers health issues. Which type of dog would be less likely of having health issues, a purebred or hybrid. Thanks...
