a mixed race All scientific studies in this area have found that the average mutt is healthier and live longer than the average thoroughbred. Here are a few references: 1) BN Bonnett, A. Egenvall, P. Olson. Hedhammar, mortality in Swedish dogs: rates and causes of death in various breeds, The Veterinary Record, 12.7.1997, S. 40 to 44) "mestizos were always in the low risk category" (p. 41) 2) PD McGreevy WF & Nicholas, some practical solutions to welfare problems in Pedigree Dog Breeding, Animal Welfare, 1999, Vol 8, 329-331 "Hybrids have an opportunity of exhibiting much less common disorders with races of their parents. Its genetic health will be substantially higher. "(P338) 3) A. Egenvall, BN Bonnett, P. Olson.
