Description
Dog Breed: Unknown breed (short coat). Dasher doesn’t look or act his age one bit—this guy has plenty of pep in his step and is eager to learn. In his foster home, he’s made huge strides in his manners: he waits patiently outside rooms he’s not allowed in, doesn’t steal food (even when it’s right there on the coffee table), and settles right down on his nap spot when his time in the limelight is over. He’s also incredibly food-motivated, which makes training a breeze—whether it’s putting on his harness, hopping into the bath, or learning something new, a treat or dab of peanut butter is all the encouragement he needs. Dasher wants to be the top dog in your life and your home, so he’s looking for a pet-free household. He’d do best in a lower-traffic, quieter neighborhood where he can feel relaxed and confident, and he’s still working on perfecting his leash manners. In return, he’ll shower you with love, stay close, and brighten every day with his mix of smarts, sass, and sweetness. He’s a sweet, loyal, and very smart little man… maybe a bit too smart for his own good. He’s got a lot going on in that busy lil’ noggin and isn’t shy about letting you know when life isn’t moving fast enough for his liking. Yes, he can be a little bossy pants, but only because he knows exactly what he wants—your attention, your company, and your love. Age: ~10yrs Animal ID#: A-180239 Weight: 27.8 Mixed breed (It’s impossible to identify breed mix by sight alone, so for most dogs, their mix is only a guess.

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.
