I have both ferrets from long American bloodlines, as well as from European/American mix ad pure New Zealand bloodlines. I do not notice a difference in health problems between them.
What I do notice is a big difference between the early spay/neuters and the late alters. Ferrets I have had that were not altered until they have reached sexual maturity are healthier and do not develop problems as often or as early as the ones altered at 4 or 5 weeks of age.
