This is a myth put forward by the Kennel Club and breeders of "pure-bred dogs", primarily to facilitate selling dogs at ridiculous prices. The narrow breeding options, combined with breed standard put forward by kennel Club etc, have resulted in inbreeding with consequent health issues such as breathing problems in bulldogs, pugs, etc, kidney disease in cavalier KC spaniels and hip problems in some larger breeds. A selected mixing of two breeds, such as poodle and labrador, cocker spaniel and poodle and jack russell and shih tzu means that many of the problems of individual breeds are bred out. A specific cross, or mongrel is by far the better choice.
