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.

Counterpoint The Russian Blue. A perfectly healthy breed of cat

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