Description
Dog Breed: Hound. Periwinkle is a little country bumpkin hound who is learning about the bustling life in Rockville, Maryland! Periwinkle is as cute as a button with long ears and large eyes that look longingly for love. We can't neglect to mention the oh so ah-dorable spots that adorn her belly! A bit skittish as she navigates her (very) new surroundings, Periwinkle still enjoys every last sniff of grass and smell of the last dog who visited her trail. She is a hound through and through. Periwinkle is a leggy girl who weighs 42 lbs. She is only two-years old, and she is incredibly playful. She came from an overburdened shelter in South Carolina, so it is taking her some time to settle in to her new life. We will continue to update her profile as we learn more about this wonderful little lady.

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.
