A mongrol allways inherits the best traits from its parents, a pedogree always inherits the genetic defects, like hip dysplacia etc in Alsations and retrievers, or psychological and leg problems in Spaniels, Bulldogs, Boxers etc. I know our local plods stopped using German shepards cos they were all having to be retired easrly with hip and back problems so they went onto the Belgian sub species which is just slightly smaller but much healthier, so they tell me. I prefer two or three small terriers over one big mutt, dont like all my eggs in one puppy.
