Description
Dog Breed: Belgian Shepherd Malinois / Mixed (medium coat). Meet Pepper â The Sweet One-Eyed Wonder! Pepper is an adorable Belgian Malinois mix who has been in my care for about a month. She came to the shelter with an injury to her right eye, which has since been removed, and she is now fully healed. Having one eye hasnât slowed her down one bitâthis girl is full of life and love! At around 12 weeks old, Pepper is about 90% potty trained, crate trained, and knows basic commands like sit and come when called. Sheâs a smart little retriever of toys, takes treats gently, and doesnât resource guard. Like any puppy, she still has a mischievous sideâshe may shred a stuffed toy, dig in the garden, or nip when she gets overly excited. Sheâs learning boundaries and does well with the resident female dog in her foster home, even taking correction when she gets too play-ful. Pepper is not an alpha dog. We are working on leash manners in the backyard, and she rides calmly in the car. Since she isnât fully vaccinated yet, Pepper hasnât met other dogs outside her foster home and hasnât had any exposure to cats. Pepper loves people! Sheâs enjoyed the company of many visitors and soaks up attention. As her foster mom, I can guarantee sheâll make a wonderful pet for a family where someone is often homeâsheâs a true Velcro dog. If youâre looking for a loving, loyal companion who will follow you everywhere, Pepper might be your perfect match. Please contact her foster mom to schedule a meet and greet or for additional information: pattykfrankgmail

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.
