Description
Dog Breed: Unknown breed. IN VERMONT Meet Tonk (of Tonk & Tanya)! Tonk is 11 months old, male (approx. DOB 6-25-24), 31 lbs., vetted, is or will be spayed, and micro-chipped. From his new foster mom after 3 days: "They are both very smart and have obviously done some training. Know how to sit, shake, and down without any prompting (you hold a treat and they both just start doing them until they get it. It’s very cute) Have had zero indoor accidents so far, so I would say possibly potty trained as well. Tonk definitely has more energy of the two, while Tanya can settle down more easily." They have done well with kids (subject to parents supervision). UPDATE / From Tonk's VT foster: Meet Tonk! A goofy little pup that has the most gorgeous eyes and a love of toys and attention. He is very treat/food motivated and such a smart boy. He already knows how to sit, shake, lay down and come when he is called. House trained and a great play-time buddy, Tonk does well with other dogs and adapts to the play style of whatever dog he’s with. If you’re looking for a dog with medium energy who also enjoys cuddles, Tonk is the pup for you! Stay tuned for more information as Tonk is a new rescue! If you are interested in adopting Tonk please fill out an Application at .Passion-4-Paws (please make sure you have the Vermont site not CT) - thanks! Please note Fosters have 1st option of Adoption. Check out his Facebook page (please "Like" us while you are there)! Disclosure: Breed labels are often incorrect: we rarely know the genetic lineage of the dogs we rescue. Many shelters and rescues specify breeds based on appearance; however, research has shown that less than 2% of a dog’s DNA determines appearance! Passion 4 Paws does not practice the use of labels pertaining to compatibility with others or dog breed. Labels such as “dog friendly” and “child friendly” should be used with caution as they often over-simplify the personalities and behavior of dogs.

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.
