Description
Dog Breed: Hound / Mixed (short coat). Uri’s people brought him to the shelter and signed him over on Monday. He is about five years old and wandered up to their home as a stray in Rustburg several months ago. Uri is now neutered, fully vetted, and microchipped. He did not fit in well with the other dogs in the home who are bigger than he, so is now a pound hound. We are told he has an easygoing hound personality; Ignores livestock, chickens, and cats — a true gentleman, who loves car rides and is learning how to play nicely with other dogs. Uri likely spent most of his life on a tie-out, and is enjoying life as a “free” dog. If you’re looking for a sweet, laid-back companion who just needs a chance, Uri is your guy.

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.
