Do mutts have certain health issues?
I just asked a question about my dog and her newborn pups and someone answered with an angry comment because he claimed i shouldn't have "breeding mixes" and that her being overprotective meant she wasn't fit to be bred (which is so untrue because she is the sweetest thing and a great mom). Anyways, I'm wondering the cause of the angry comment, hence my current question. Please no more ranting, though.

The anger is because of puppy mills, in which dogs are bred and sold for a quick buck, are not properly taken care of and have serious health issues because of it. Other than that, mixed breeds, or mutts, are generally healthier than purebreds. Purebreds will commonly have genetic disorders because of a thinning of the blood line and borderline inbreeding. Mutts are great dogs overall, healthy and intelligent.

Every dog is going to put at risk due to breeding, but that all depends on how the dog was breed, I have found that mutts tend to be nicer in demeanor that pure breed dogs.
