Dogs and Puppies

mnvikes asked:


I know some designer dogs supposedly to have health problems, are shih-poos one of them or are they healthy? and yes, i know theyre a mut and i really dont care. for a pet, a mut is as good as a pure bred if not better so dont give me a lecture please
im trying to get edjumacted. i just seems that there are 2 very vocal sides to the issue. some say purebreds are better, others say mixes are better. what i didnt want is some bias ass hole like you to answer that whines and cries about mixing bloodlines. you sound like a piece of southern white trash or something

im looking for a small indoor dog that has little health problems and isnt hard to train.

I know nothing about dog diseases, I guess like cats, they’ll have certain vaccins and deworming every 6 months?
I’m going to the animal shelter tomorrow and I need to make sure I don’t end up with a dog who has health problems, for 2 reasons: obviously it means more money spending on vets and also, it’s heart breaking to have a pet who’s sick.
Is there a virus he could have? I have a cat at home so I don’t want to risk any contagious infection. Please help!
