And just my 2 cents on mixed breeds:
We still don't know enough about genetics to say that we are getting only the good when we cross breeds. Who knows what new type of problems will show up down the line. Too many of these new backyard breeders, in my opinion, haven't done enough research to really know what they are getting by creating these new types. I've had several mixed breeds over the years that were awesome, healthy dogs (including the funniest basset/lab you've ever seen). I've also had two that inherited the worst of both breeds.
I'll stick with reputable breeders who know full health histories at least several generations back
Like I said, it's only my 2 cents. Take it or leave it.
