The answer to last weeks trivia question (Is a mix breed HEALTHIER than a pure bred dog?) is; NO. Mixed breeds are no healthier than a pure bred. Mix breeds can still fall victim to all the same ailments and sickness and any other dog does. The only advantage a mix breed has over a pure bred is, genetic defects due to poor breeding is not going to be passed on as easily. The oldest dog in history was a pure bred 26yr old Aussie Cattle Dog!!! B'lanna and Lola get a free Hextra for participating

GRODY MCGEE!!! Not my dogs mouths! I think its an urban legend! and I think we have different cooties in our mouths than they have in their mouths so its not even a fair contest!
my co-worker informs me that the correct answer is yes. something about dogs replacing their saliva more quickly than humans? :)
A dogs mouth is NOT cleaner than a human mouth. Enzymes in the mouth of a dog and human are very close in nature. Science tells us that there are no super cleaning chemical/enzymes in a dogs mouth. Humans have dental technology and forthought to tell us we must maintain good hygene, dogs do not. Always remember a dogs tongue is its washcloth and its toilet paper.;)
