If you breed two poor specimens together, then you will get poor specimens whether or not the parents are both the same breed or not. There is no magic that makes mongrel/crossbreed dogs healthier than there is any magic that makes people healthier. I believe that the “hybrid vigour in dogs myth” comes from a time whem mongrel dogs were more or less left to get on with mating and birth and only the strong and healthy survived. If you mate two dogs with inheritable faults no matter what they are then the pups will inherit those faults. I have no idea what the reason for such shows as this are.....I don’t think they do the dogs much good
