Description
Dog Breed: Hound (medium coat). He came to us as a stray, but Hank has made his way into our hearts quite easily due to his charming personality, and his health. Many dogs that come to us as strays have not been well socialized, but Hank is totally different. we speculate that he was someone’s pet dog, one who was well loved, even though he was not walked on a leash, or was used to a collar. Hank loves humans, and has told us he likes other dogs as well. He likes going outside and being allowed to potty in the yard, and he is very interested in being around the other creatures. We hope he will find a home very soon! PLEASE NOTE: This pet has been posted by Friends of Campbell County Animal Control, Rustburg, VA. For questions about the pet, please email us at FOACinfogmail.

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.
