If two parents are genetically similiar, they will be prone to the same flaws, inadaquicies genetic defects etc, which will leave off-spring vulnerable and without chance to better itself, when two dissimilar parents come together, there is an increased chance of the offspring getting the best of both parents, although they may inherit some flaws, they have a better chance of winning this gene pool lottery

What is the difference between a thoroughbred and other horses?

Pedigree dogs are purebred (both of the Dog's parents were the same breed) and have their ancestries recorded and logged by the Kennel Club. Well-bred purebred dogs are tested for possible genetic faults that could be passed down. Breeding dogs are also often Champion show dogs who are deemed as a perfect example of the breed. Non-pedigree dogs could be purebreds without papers or crossbreeds. These dogs may or may not be tested for health and temperament. Pedigree dogs have up to five generations of family history recorded and are completely purebred. If you buy a purebred without Kennel Club pedigree papers then technically it is not purebred as you have none of the Dog's ancestry recorded to prove it.

What small dog breed tends to be healthy?

It is hard to say which small dog breed is healthier, as almost each breed has genetic defeats, different for each breed.Generally, when it comes to small, pedigree dogs, most of them are not very healthy. Small dogs have the same amount of teeth than large dogs, and smaller muzzles just means that the teeth are more crowed, leading to dental problems. Also, a large number of small dogs were first bred to be lapdogs. Many of them were bred to have flat faces and long-haired coats, which can lead to breathing disorders and fur that can easily become matted.Overall, small crossbreeds and mongrels tend to be healthier, as these dogs have a wider genetic pool and aren't bred to have the extreme features of a classic lapdog.
