Description
Dog Breed: Unknown breed. COURTESY LISTING IN VERMONT Meet Griffon! Griffon is 6 1/2 years old, male (approx. DOB 10-25-18), 46 lbs., vetted, is or will be spayed and micro-chipped. My name is Griffon, and I'm a smart, soulful dog looking for a quiet, structured life with my forever person. I'm generally a low-to-medium energy guy, happiest when I'm chilling out on my dog bed, though I do turn into a "maniac" for a few minutes when you walk through the door—I just love you that much! I'm a good student who knows a large vocabulary of commands, including Sit, Stay, Come, and No, and I am eCollar trained (I respond great to the beep/sound). I'm also fully potty-trained and a good boy in my crate when you're gone. I need a home that understands my past. I have some specific sensitivities that need managing: I hate being physically moved or forcefully told to get off furniture. If you need me to move, the magic trick is to walk away, call me from out of sight, and I'll come right over—I'm a smart cookie, and I love to please! I also need a home without children and ideally, in a rural setting with minimal visitors. I would be much happier with a confident canine friend to show me the ropes and help me settle in. I am a great walking partner—I'm fine on the leash, and I completely ignore people passing by. I just need a patient person who sees my potential and is willing to work with me. I promise I'm 90% sweet, super intelligent, and worth the effort! Stay tuned for more information as Griffon is a new rescue! If you are interested in adopting Griffon 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.
