Rat Terrier

American Rat Terrier

The Rat Terrier comes in three sizes: toy, medium and standard. The breed is used for either hunting or as a companion.

Shih Tzu

Chinese Lion Dog, Chrysanthemum Dog, Shih-Tzu

The Shih Tzu is a sweet and playful family companion. He's bolder than his small size suggests, but gets along well with strangers and other animals.

French Bulldog

Bouledogue Français, Frenchie

The French Bulldog is low key and enjoys lots of activity. He's well suited for either family living or attaching to just one special person. He can be a great watchdog, although will bark only when there is a real need.

Mutt

A mongrel, mixed-breed dog

A mongrel, mutt, or mixed-breed dog, is a dog that is not the result of breeding within an existing breed or to modify or create a breed and belongs to no breed. In the United States, the term "mixed-breed" is a favored synonym over "mongrel" among many who wish to avoid negative connotations associated with the latter term. The implication that such dogs must be a mix of defined breeds may stem from an inverted understanding of the origins of dog breeds. Pure breeds have been, for the most part, artificially created from random-bred populations by human selective breeding with the purpose of enhancing desired physical, behavioral, or temperamental characteristics. Dogs that are not purebred are not necessarily a mix of such defined breeds. Therefore, among experts and fans of such dogs, "Mongrel" is still the preferred term.

Masti-Bull

The Masti-Bull is a cross between an Mastiff and a American Bulldog. The Masti-Bull is a hybrid or designer breed that was developed by crossing Mastiff and a American Bulldog. Though the breed was intended to be a 50/50 mix, many of the Masti-Bull are bred over many generations and may not always be 50% and 50%. The best way to determine the temperament of a mixed breed is to look up all breeds in the cross and know you can get any combination of any of the characteristics found in either breed. We currently do not have more detailed information for this breed.

Jack Chi

The Jack Chi is a mix between the Chihuahua and the Jack Russell Terrier. They can have the temperament of either breed and will make a good pet in the right situation.

Chipin
