Adding a new dog to your household is an important decision. You’ll provide him with dog food, shelter, and attention. In turn, he’ll give you many years of devoted companionship. In your quest to find the right dog for your household, why not consider a mixed breed dog? A mixed breed offers a variety of advantages over a purebred one. Here are a few reasons to consider adopting a mixed breed dog:
Mixed breeds tend to be healthier.
Studies have shown that mixed breed dogs live longer lives and fewer health problems when compared to purebred dogs. This is because they're not inbred like pedigrees. If you want your companion around for many years, consider a mixed breed dog for health reasons.
Mixed breed dogs tend to be more intelligent.
As a generalisation, mixed breed dogs are more intelligent, worldly, and savvy with lots of common sense and street smarts. If you ask dog owners who have owned both mixed breeds and purebreds, many of them will confirm this fact.
Mixed breed dogs are truly one-of-a-kind.
There are too many cookie cutter, purebred dogs in this world. Would you rather have a Picasso original or a reprint? Why not stop choosing dogs based on status and consider the unique characteristics a mixed breed dog offers?
Mixed breed dogs live longer.
As a generalisation, when comparing mixed breed and purebred dogs of similar size, the mixed breed dog will outlive the purebred. Again, this comes down to the fact that most purebred dogs are inbred which creates health problems that shorten their lives.
