July 31st is National Mutt Day

Fun Fact: Mixed breeds have better health
These dogs have hit the genetic lottery. The blending of genes helps fight deficiencies by providing healthier gene sequences from other breeds.

Think of it this way: the smaller the gene pool, the less healthy the genes.

Your mutt, on the other hand, has a sampling from all over, adding to the dog's overall lifespan and well-being.
