I saw something similar on the Smithsonian channel the other day and they replay it from time to time. It discussed designer breeds' genetics and how so called "mutts" or mixed breeds are not necessarily healthier dogs because they can pick up the genes of the dogs they are mixed with such as a dog with hip dysphasia from one breed and then mixed it becomes mixed with another breed that may suffer from a propensity for blindness for example. It was interesting
