Description
Dog Breed: Yorkshire Terrier Yorkie / Mixed (medium coat). This handsome little fella is Gizmo, a 3-4 year old, 16 pound, Yorkshire Terrier mix who came to our rescue as a stray a couple months ago. Gizmo is a super sweet, super friendly, and sensitive little dog. He loves kids and enjoys running and playing with them. Gizmo does better having a fenced yard where he can run and play safely; he does walk nicely on a leash too for those daily walks. Gizmo is completely housebroken. Gizmo has some separation anxiety so we are seeking adopters who are home most of the day. In addition, there must be another smaller dog in the adoptive home to keep him company because it helps him feel safe and less alone. Gizmo does not do well in a crate; he is not destructive in the home but will bark and drool if crated alone. He really is a super great little dog. This dog has been examined by licensed veterinarians, provided inoculations, tested for diseases, neutered, and microchipped.

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.
