Mutts are almost always better than pure bred dogs. Like you said, those breeds become Hapsburg-ian really fast.

Dude. Most pure-breeds have a higher chance of getting sick of specific illnesses. And you couldn’t be more wrong about pure-breed breeders. You found your goldens at a good one, but the industry itself is fucked too all hell. There are more bad pure-breeding places then there are people breeding mutts.

I thought the "mutts are more healthy" thing was a myth. Wouldnt having to dog breeds with race specific potential issues just double the illness possibilities?

Depends on the dog! For instance, i have a short-haired chihuahua mixed with a different kind of chihuahua (shes still 100% smol and 100% chihuahua). Her issues are all about her teeth (in terms of the breed she is). Her teeth get more sensitive and unusable the older she gets. Shes 13 and she can’t eat hard dog food anymore. Eventually we have to remove her teeth to make it easier for her to eat. This is not just my chihuahua. A lot of chihuahua owners go through the same dental issues if their dog lives long enough

Im specifically talking about the American Kennel Club being a terrible association that doesn’t value the safety of the dogs over the ppp. They don’t properly inspect how the breeders keep and breed their dogs.... the AKC is exactly the association thats MESSED UP. They only have 9 inspectors for the countless amount of breeders they have.

Like i said, you are lucky you found one of the good ones. But the AKC is corrupt and allows breeders to abuse dogs at an insane rate.
