I disagree. There is no reason to bring in other breeds at present and if breeders breed carefully and responsibly there is no reason that will change. In introducing other breeds you would also be introducing potentially even more health issues to add to the current tally. This is how many of the existing health conditions entered our breed in the past. Entropion from Boxers and Labradors, HD from Bullmastiffs and English Mastiffs, Wobblers from Great Danes etc. Do we really need any more? I think it would be of greater long term benefit to the breed to concentrate on cleaning up what we have before we add anything else. As far as I can see, the risks far outweigh the benefits at this stage and that's not even considering the effect on predictability of temperament.
