Well, all dogs will probably try tasting their own, or another dog's, feces sometime in their life. However, since that instinct is derived from their wolf/wild dog ancestors it would be accurate to assume that the more domesticated the dog breed, the less likely it will do this regularly. For example, a wolf type dog or a hound dog would be more likely to eat their own deficate than say a chihuahua or pug (dogs that differ greatly from their wolve ancestors).

Are dogs hybrid?
Hybrid dogs are, in many cases, healthier than their purebred counterparts, because they may not have the genetic weaknesses that particular breeds have. For example, border collies are prone to hip dysplasia, but border collie cross breeds often don't have this problem. Purebred pug-nosed dogs have breathing difficulties, but if bred with longer nosed dogs, this problem is less likely to occur.

Do hypoallergenic dogs shed as much hair as regular dogs?
Hypoallergenic dogs shed less hair than regular dogs, but they still shed to some extent. Breeds such as poodles, bichon frises, and Portuguese water dogs are known for shedding less and producing fewer allergens. Regular grooming can help manage shedding in hypoallergenic breeds.

Is heterochromia dogs more Expensive?

Why do mixed breed dogs tend to have less health problems?
A mixed breed dog may not have less health problems than a pure breed. It is less likely to have a known problem, and it is less likely to have been inbred or line bred. Inbreeding or line breeding practiced by some dog breeders reduces the possible number of genes available and therefore weaknesses carried by recessive genes are more likely. "Hybrid vigour" refers to the fact that if a dog is bred from a mix of breeds it may be less likely to have problems caused by a recessive gene that may prevail in one breed. For this to be likely, any mix of breeds will not do: the breeds must be selected from those that do not have similar prevalent problems. Also, with a mixed breed or mongrel of unknown ancestry, there is no indicator of potential faults that may show up in offspring. Hybrid vigour may also apply in comparison to breeds that have been inbred. This happens when populations are isolated or small and/or become fashionable. Sadly, fashionable breeds and crossbreeds go through a sudden population growth and are exploited by people who do not look at potential genetic issues when selecting parents. The dogs are also less likely to be carefully selected as a suitable breed by the owners.
how much such dogs eat?
