Every one acts like every purebreed is a medical oddity when really it's just an increased likelihood of defects for certain breeds. I can tell you right now any animal can hurt your pocket the second they decide your gold plated anal beads look like a tasty treat.

Fair. My point was more that there are some breeds where it's not just "more likely" to have poor health.

Which "pocket" are we talking about here? Also, get health insurance for your pets people.

That seems sort of cruel when some people can't afford health insurance for their people.
