I saw this was in parody and immediately thought "this must be an ant assignment."

Not really a parody. Comedy, yes, but the rest is not Parodying anything as much as just telling the truth.

I really can't understand why anyone would pay many hundreds (if not THOUSANDS) of dollars for a "purebred" dog, when they will almost inevitably have hip displaysia, breathing problems, high cancer rates, or other issues.

In the meantime, they could have gone to a shelter and got a mutt for free or no more than the cost of the standard inoculations, and the mutt is much more likely to have enough better genetic diversity that it will be much healthier... And probably much smarter too.

Mutts ftw!

Totally true. 'Pure Breeds' tend to live shorter lives and less healthy ones.

But it doesn't stop the Boxer from being the greatest dog 'breed' to ever exist.

Chock full of facts, but ultimately too polemic for my taste. The "small dogs look unhappy" comment put it over the line for me.
