In fact, if you put them all together in the same room, I’m not sure I’d be able to tell who’s who. For example, every Husky I’ve ever met has basically had the same personality. While it’s true that every dog has its own personality, purebred dogs tend to have similar personality traits across the breed. Mixed Breed Dogs Have Unique Personalities For example, the unique way in which a Yorkshire Terrier’s eyelashes grow causes their eyes to water and discharge mucus and puss excessively. Strict selective breeding has also led to some breeds developing physical characteristics that are bad for them. Studies have found that the risk of genetic disorders is far greater in purebreds than in mixed breeds. Mixed breed dogs tend to have less health problems than purebreds. This might seem a bit counterintuitive but it’s somewhat true. I have absolutely nothing agains purebred dogs – after all, without them, where would mixed breeds even come from? But mutts have several advantages, which I’ll delve into right now… Mixed Breed Dogs Are Healthier They aren’t the only mixed breed dogs I’ve had, though… My family has always adopted mutts, and I genuinely believe that nine times out of 10, they’re better dogs than pedigrees.
