Are Persian DSH mix cats less prone to genetic issues than purebreds?

Question

Generally speaking, what are common health concerns of Persian-DSH mixed cats? How do they usually compare to pure Persian cats? Are they less likely to have the Persian’s common health concerns or are these health concerns genetically dominant?

Dr. Melanie, BVSc MS · Accepted Answer

Because they are a mixed breed, they are less likely to have the hereditary diseases than a purebred. When you breed to Persians together, you are more likely to have those genetic health concerns. I hope this helps.
