Description
Dog Breed: Unknown breed. FUN & PLAYFUL GIRL! ARIANNA - 1 year old, 45 pounds, house trained, playful, dog social/tolerant, needs time to warm up to new people Arianna is a happy and jubilant girl who loves to run, play with toys and snuggle. Her bright white fur with brown patches and one brown eye will definitely make you smile. Arianna was surrendered for being reactive towards people she doesn't know. We are finding it might take a moment or two before she warms up to new people but once she does, she is an amazingly loving and affectionate girl. We are also told Arianna is friendly and playful towards children and other dogs. She even lived with a cat which she would try to play with. She is a regular in our shelter playgroup as we have matched her with several dogs who fit her play style. She is a hoot to watch running and chasing the others. She can also do some playful wrestling with other dogs but if they become too rough, she will correct them. Arianna loves going for walks but, being silly and spirited, she will chase after everything but the kitchen sink! Please hold onto that leash! Arianna does not like being left alone. She has shown this by chewing and messing up floors and her crate. *Many of the above behaviors can be managed with continued training. Arianna is currently in a back kennel so if you come in to meet her and don't see her, please just ask.

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.
