Description
Dog Breed: Shepherd / Mixed. Rico is about 1 year old, weighing 47lbs. Rico was hit by a car when he was just 6 months old and his elbow was broken. He has spent his young life in a crate healing, and is now fully recovered and ready to find his forever family. Rico has big expressive rabbit ears and seems to still be growing! He is intelligent and already knows his basic commands like SIT, DOWN, HEAL, COME and LEAVE IT, is crate trained, and house trained. Rico is a high energy boy who loves to play and run around his fenced yard. Like any puppy, he can be mouthy at times but is easily redirected to one of his toys or his bones. He is dog friendly and would love a forever home that has another high energy playful pup. Rico is looking for an active family with a fenced yard, and no small kids. He is a wonderful passenger in the car, so a family that will take him on fun adventures is a bonus. Since he is still an energetic puppy, he needs continued structure and training to be the best version of himself. Rico is neutered, fully vaccinated, and microchipped. Apply to adopt at EHRdogs

Breed overview
Overview:
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.
