No, since mixed-breed dogs have wider genetic pools, they are less likely to suffer from genetic defects than purebred puppies. However, this doesn't mean that they are less likely to fall ill.

Some common types of puppies include mixed breed puppies, purebred puppies, and designer breed puppies.

No. The effect on the female of bearing a litter is the same, regardless of the breeding of the puppies. A pure breed means that the mother and father of THAT dog must be the same kind and size (minature, regular size).

What can you breed Alaskan malamutes with?

Technically, you can breed an Alaskan Malamute with practically any other breed of dog (unless the other breed is very small e.g. Chihuahua). Most breeders prefer to only mate Alaskan Malamutes with others of the same breed so that the puppies are purebred and can be Kennel Club registered - and usually sold for more money. Purebred puppies also are less likely to end up in the pound if their owner can no longer keep them.

Will breeding an English Mastiff with an English Bulldog give a purebred Bull-mastiff puppy?

First of all, that is sick to breed your dogs. Dogs are for people to enjoy and not to breed and make puppies. That is almost like puppy mills (which is disgusting and cruel.) You will not get a purebred bull-mastiff puppy. You ahouldn't want a purebred just get a mutt they are probably more loveable. I think that onl,y wanting a purebred is very selfish. The dog will be just like the dog in the dog shows. TOOOOO PERFECT!!! GET A CUTE DOG THAT IS NOT PUREBRED THEY ARE JUST AS GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Answer 2:I'm fairly sure the puppies would not be purebred bullmastiffs. The bullmastiff breed originated by breeding "bulldog" type dogs together until it resulted in a breed of dog which look very similar to each other and whose puppies can be predicted to look and act very similar their parents, not by breeding purebred English mastiffs and purebred English bulldogs together. The result of breeding an English bulldog and an English mastiff together would just result in a "mutt" type bulldog.

How does one acquire papers for pure breed puppies from rescued pure breed parents with no papers?

You can't, unless the parents are registered themselves, and, if they were rescued from some shelter in the middle of nowhere, you have no idea. Plus, there is no point on getting papers on rescued puppies, even if they are purebred; the puppies are most likely poor quality; responsible breeders NEVER dump puppies or puppies parents at animal shelters, rescues or SPCA. Please, don't bother; it won't work, and you don't need to.
