My own personal experience, over the years I have had Poodles, mini Schbauzers, then 4 yorkies, all very healthy until they reached their senior years. My last yorkie was 17 years old when she went to Rainbow bridge. As a kid I always heard that mutts (today known as designer dogs) were healthier then pure breed dogs. I believe that to be a myth. But, that is just my opinion.
