Soft Paws: Purebred vs. mixed breed, Part 2

Scrappy is a 3-and-a-half-year-old Coonhound mix, pictured with CGHS/SPCA Office Manager Jennifer Maloney. He’s a very easygoing boy who’s looking for the perfect home. Scrappy is incredibly smart; he knows sit, down, paw, speak and roll over! He does need to be the only pet in the home, but we can assure you, you’ll never be bored with this guy! He never fails to make anyone laugh with his goofy personality. Contributed photo

Health of purebred and mixed breeds, continued…

With great frequency, questions come up not only in my classes, but with phone consults regarding purebred versus mixed breed health issues. Many families ready to add a new dog or an additional canine to their family are often misinformed about the studies and statistics on the medical issues of all dogs.

The Dog Aging Project evaluated over 25,000 dogs. Fifty percent were mixed breed and 50% purebred. The results of this study were published in Frontiers in Veterinary Science, which can be easily accessed. I will list the research update by comparison.

The header is “Top 10 owner reported medical conditions of purebred dogs”:

1. Dental plaque

2. Dog bites

3. Extracted teeth

4. Giardia

5. Osteoarthritis

6. Seasonal allergies

7. Infections

8. Heart murmur

9. Fractured teeth

10. Cataracts

The same subset of mixed breed dogs:

1. Dental plaque

2. Extracted teeth

3. Dog bites

4. Teeth

5. Seasonal allergies

6. Giardia

7. Osteoarthritis

8. Ear infections

9. Torn/broken toenails

10. Chocolate toxicity

As a professional dog trainer blessed to do my passion, I have dealt with many dogs of different descent on a weekly basis throughout the years. Problems with inappetence and lack of condition, chronic loose stools and more significant diarrhea, seemingly unresponsive to meds, chronic skin allergies, ear infections, inflamed tear ducts, and arthritis are very common.

The majority of my clients’ canines needing ACL and TPLO surgeries are mixed breeds. Dogs that have experienced bloat are almost even. Addison’s and Cushing’s Disease are not particular to a breed.

Many dog owners deal with unsound temperaments and behavior issues based in genetic origin. Mixed breed dogs have greater numbers with these unfortunate challenges.

Last but not least, there is no such thing as a “hypoallergenic” animal. Many specific breed haircoats are less reactive to sensitive owners than others. One of my key colleagues has worked with two shelters in the Midwest for years. As more poodle crosses became popular for their “allergy-neutral” selling point, these shelters experienced an increase in surrenders of these mixes due to the allergic reaction of the owner – very sad.

Be educated with the facts. Purebred breeders will have a significant list of pre-breeding health clearances, and will discuss any vulnerabilities in their respective breeds with potential new owners.

Feel free to call us with any questions at 518-828-6044 or visit our website at www.cghs.org. Our food bank is open to any from the public in need of pet food or for those wishing to donate food from 11:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily.

Nail clipping services are available every Saturday from 10-11 a.m. at the shelter for a donation of $10 for cats and $15 for dogs (currently prepaid only).
