Purebred Dogs, Are They Healthy?

There are many breeds of dogs. From the huge Great-Dane, to the agile Australian Shepherd and small Rat Terrier. But due to resent research they are extremely unhealthy and the AKC have very low standards for health. Highly respected breeders cull Rhodesian Ridgeback pups that are "Ridgeless" because they can not be shown in the show ring. The ridge in Rhodesian Ridgebacks can cause a skin disorder were a tiny hole forms under the ridge that burrows deep into the dogs spin, killing or paralyzing him. From inbreeding all large breeds are in very high risk of Hip-Displacia. The King Charles Spaniel have a amazingly high risk to a deadly and very painful brain disorder. Many puppies are culled everyday by respected breeders because they do not meet the breed standards. Gene pools for purebred dogs are very small and unhealthy. Most breeders breed grandsonXgrandpa, fatherXdaughter and sometimes even, brotherXsister. Also, purebreds not very smart. Most breeders do not breed for mind, they breed for health. Please, do not support big breeders who cull small pups just because they look "ugly". Do not support inbreeding. Adopt your dogs, get pure mutts who have a fresh gene pool.
