Previous studies indicate that some inherited disorders do not have significantly
different prevalence across both the purebred and mixed - breed dog populations [6] which may represent ancient disease liability
genes that preceded breed formation that are now distributed throughout the
canine population as a whole or reflect recent purebred contributions to mixed - breed individuals.
