We've had him for about 2 1/2 years. He's house trained, walks on a leash, stays in his kennel when we're gone. He's friendly to young and old. He gets along well with our 2 cats and family members dogs when they visit. Bandit loves playing fetch. He can even catch a Frisbee in mid-air flight and then brings it back to do it again! He would be best in a fenced yard. He's a good boy.

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.
