Description
Dog Breed: Terrier / Mixed. Hello, there! My name is Pip and, like Charles Dickens' character, I am a pooch of which there are "Great Expectations". As you can see in the photographs, I am a handsome fellow. I am 7 years old and am about 28 pounds. I am neutered and UTD on all my shots. I can be a little shy at first, but warm up very quickly to people. I really enjoy long walks, but in the evenings I like to settle down on the couch and relax. I have a good appetite, but I have some food allergies (right now I am on a grain-free, chicken-free diet) so I am dealing with some skin issues that my fosters are dealing with. I am house trained and have never had an accident. I'm not interested in chasing squirrels, cats or crows, though I like to keep an eye on them. If I see a dog running, though, you can bet I feel like running, too. I sleep pretty solid through the night and would like it if you can make room on your bed for me, but any soft place is good enough for me. I have gotten on with children, other dogs and even the few cats I have met on my walks. If you are interested, please fill out a Statement of Interest for me at alternativehumanesociety/statement-of-interest-dog/

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.
