I am about $4000 into the lab for vet bills. She tore tendons in both back legs 2 years apart. Each time the operation to repair was $1500 plus rehab costs. She has also had assorted ailments. The mutt I have never spent a penny on other than routine check ups and shots.

I can't cite anything, but I think it's pretty much proven that mutts fare far better than purebreds overall.
