According to pet care expert Dr Tom Burns, mongrels just may be
your safest bet if you are concerned about getting a healthy
dog.
Dr.
Burns elaborates, “The mix of different DNA seems to produce a more
reliable outcome. When clients ask me for the healthiest breed, I
often point them in the direction of a shelter dog”. He also
advises pet owners to beware of the popular misconception that
certain pure breeds may be less susceptible to health problems than
other breeds.
If
you are currently considering adopting a new family pet we strongly
urge you to visit one of the animal shelters in Singapore like the
Action for Singapore Dogs or the SPCA, which houses several dogs
ready for adoption.
