Description
Dog Breed: Terrier / Mixed (short coat). Welcome Pippin! At about 5 years old and 14 pounds, Pippin is just the right size for about any household. He is friendly, good around other dogs and very loving. Pippin was found as a stray and taken to a city shelter where we rescued him. He rides great in the car and is not a barker. Pippin enjoys walks although some noises startle him. We cat tested him and he seems to be fine with them. We have not had Pippin around children. Pippin is not in a foster home so we cannot say for sure if he is fully house trained at this time so we expect some reinforcement will be required in a new home. If you would like to meet Pippin please first complete the adoption application on our website, .greatpets. The $300 adoption donations includes his vet exam, neuter surgery, dental cleaning, blood work, vaccinations, fecal and microchip.

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.
