Report Violation

Are you sure you want to report the following content as a violation?
It's a fallacy that mixed breeds are healthier.  Hybrid vigor (breeding two purebreds of different breeds, now known as Designer Dogs) has not tracked consistently.  Purebreds have national parent clubs which track health and medical developments within the breed.  Mixed breeds have no such registry or committed club.  Therefore, a purebred club will send out questionaires and gather stats on a certain health problem and when the stats are published it makes mixed breeds look healthier since no such study was done on them.  Also, when any medical research for canines is done it is usually funded by a breed club or the AKC.  The inference is that purebreds need the research.  The reality is that the medical advances used for mixed breeds was sponsored and funded by the people who love all dogs and are committed to purebred dogs.
