The whole "purebred" thing always seems weird to me, "purebred" royal families aren't pretty but full of genetic defects, why should it be an better with cats or dogs.
Every one acts like every purebreed is a medical oddity when really it's just an increased likelihood of defects for certain breeds. I can tell you right now any animal can hurt your pocket the second they decide your gold plated anal beads look like a tasty treat.
Counterpoint: The pug.
Counterpoint The Russian Blue. A perfectly healthy breed of cat
Fair. My point was more that there are some breeds where it's not just "more likely" to have poor health.
