The big white fluffy ones that look a bit like a bear are less likely to be inbred than the honey coloured ones (which is not to say that all the dark ones are inbred by any means)  this is because the big white fluffyness is a result of bringing in pyrenean mountain dog genes to enlarge the breed in the 50s, 60s, and 70s

also big white and fluffy what's not to like...

Not true

There is line breeding and inbreeding - Kennel club differentiates between the two and tehre are many articles that are easily found on the internet.  Colour can be bred out or in, but it does not necessarily mean that white dogs are more likely to be in- bred or even line-bred than dark brown dogs.
Always have been, always will be, a WYSIWYG - black is black, white is white - no grey in my life! But I'm mellowing in my old age
