Description
Dog Breed: Shepherd / Terrier / Mixed. Dodge is a 3-month-old Shepherd mix with a big personality packed into a 12-pound puppy body. He is so sweet, playful, and ready to take on the world in short bursts: like his clumsy puppy crashes when running too fast, or the determined way he goes after a toy—even if it means face-planting along the way. This social butterfly loves everyone—dogs, cats, people—you name it! Dodge adores wrestling with his brother and chasing toys, and when playtime is over, he melts into a snuggly puddle with his people. He currently lives with cats, and thinks they are playmates since they are his size, so a confident cat who can set boundaries would be recommended. He gets along well with kids, but a home with older kids is recommended until he outgrows the mouthy stage. A proper introduction is needed for making new friends. House training is a work in progress, and he uses potty pads in his crate while also going outside when given the chance. He’s comfortable in his crate with a pen attached—especially when his brother is nearby—but he would prefer having people or another dog around most of the time. If left alone too long, he may protest a bit, but another friendly, playful dog could help keep him happy. Dodge is energetic and would thrive with multiple play sessions, walks, or yard time each day. He also loves wrestling with his brother and chasing a ball around the yard. If you’re looking for a sweet, goofy, and endlessly entertaining puppy, Dodge is ready to bounce his way into your heart!

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.
