Waggi – a lot of pure breeds are struggling and it’s not because people are breeding Labradoodles etc. Cross breeding introduces something called ‘hybrid vigour’ which means the offspring avoid lots of the genetic diseases and disorders that pure breds are struggling with. Not everyone has a crossbreed because of fashion but because they know they are likely to be healthier. Lots of vets are now turning to cross-breeds and I suppose they should know!
