Description
Dog Breed: Shepherd / Mixed. Nelly is just under a year old and a true original—while he may look like a shepherd mix, your guess is as good as ours. At only 40 lbs, he’s nearly done growing but full of playful energy. Nelly absolutely loves the company of other dogs and keeps us smiling with his obsession over a lobster-shaped Nylabone. He’s the kind of dog who brings joy wherever he goes.

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.
