Description
Dog Breed: Terrier / Mixed. Meet New Mexico, a fun-loving and playful pup who is ready to steal your heart. When he’s not busy playing with toys or chasing after leaves and flies, New Mexico is becoming quite the snuggler! He loves to crawl up and rest his head on you, enjoying pets and cuddles. New Mexico has matured past the chewing stage. Though he occasionally carries a shoe or sock around, he hasn’t caused any damage since joining his foster family. He is smart and eager to learn; he knows commands like sit, lay down, and kennel up, and he’s currently working on come, stay, and leave it. New Mexico loves other dogs but can sometimes be a little unsure of smaller dogs, we believe he can learn to be comfortable around them with proper guidance. He enjoys walks and is a decent walker, staying close to your side. New Mexico is calm for his age, with bursts of playful energy, but he’s not hyper or high-energy. In terms of potty training, he is 90-95% housebroken. He reliably does his business outside and can go all night in his kennel without issues. While he may have the occasional accident, he knows when he’s made a mistake, so he’s very close to being fully trained. If you're looking for a sweet and playful companion, New Mexico might just be the perfect match for you!

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.
