    The most fascinating part of this to me is that roughly 88% of mixed breed dogs passed the test. So if you’re just looking for a great dog, a mixed breed might actually have a better chance than a purebred!

    Unless you’re getting a lab. I’ve never met a lab that wasn’t the bestest doggo ever lol

      Less chance of genetic defects from inbreeding as well.

        I love these mutts, so adorable and unique.

      Without knowing what types of mixes were in the sample I wouldn’t draw too many conclusions. Poodle and lab mixes are some of the most popular mixed-breed dogs.

          You know that checks out, I always have to get purebreds because of allergies, and the ““Better”” the breeding was, the more high-strung they would be.

        Because good easy breeds like labs, retrievers and GSDs are really likely to be a big part of a lot of mutts.
