I concur. Good, ethical breeders will track COI (coefficient of inbreeding), pull any breeding dames/sires that show issues themselves or in their offspring, mix up the germ lines, and even go so far as to get mail-order sperm from around the world. Good purebred breeding is going to produce a healthier dog on average than your random mutt, which could have great hybrid vigor, or all manner of weird issues.
