No I didn't say "purebreds are supposedly weaker" BUT "crossbred animal will be healthier than a purebred" and I am quoting from genetic studies. There is a difference there. Of course the serious breeder who should have a certain understanding of genetics would be carrying out selective breeding. Among the steps undertaken would be crossbreeding. To the uninformed inbreeding is a NO NO but a knowledegeable breeder may inbreed certain stocks occasionally, but that's another subject.
Yes I've suggested BARF. I basically believe food that is fresh, natural and uncontaminated and unadulterated are best.

why not suggest a diet which will help rid of these evil skin problems in domesticated dogs ?  |
