This is one thing shelters don't tell you that leads to a LOT of re-homing / failed adoptions.

You don't think that happens from breeders?
Plus, mutts are, generally speaking, healthier than pure breed dogs. And mutts aren't bred to have stupid features (I'm looking at you Bulldogs) that affect things like their breathing.
