Mutts have their advantage. They are less predictable when it comes to genetic diseases. Of course, me liking to know what to look out for, I prefer to stick to pure breeds. I had a Shar Pei die on me before when I didn't know that Amylyodosis (sp) was a big time killer. Now I get a breed and reserch the breed for certain problems and keep an eye out. My Pit Bull had his urine tested every couple of years for kidney issues. My Shar Pei had hers tested every year for kidney problems. On top of me watching their urine, that is.
