I mean my purebred lab is 16 this year and is only starting to slow down Hips are starting to give up, working with a vet to help her My doodle is only a year old so who knows 🤷🏼♀️
The only real issue I have is anxiety with my shelter mutt. But he was more than likely severely abused, so that probably has little to nothing to do with his breeding lol.
I've owned one akita and one mutt. Akita lived to 13 and only had arthritis issues at the end of her life. Mutt is 10 and is doing great, knock on wood
Actually, I know people who have purebreds and people who have mutts. Both, in my opinion, equally have a chance of health issues depending on how ethically they are bred. I have 2 mutts. And they are healthy as can be. No issues. I have carefully selected my Lab puppy, made sure parents were up to stuff before picking this breeder.
