Description
Dog Breed: Pit Bull Terrier (short coat). LANA - 4 years old, 70 pounds, house trained, kid & dog social, skin allergies LANA is a super sweet and friendly 4 year old girl who arrived at VBACAC with severe mange, allergies and malnutrition. Fast forward a year and she is still super sweet and friendly and healed up wonderfully with a little TLC and meds. Lana is great with other dog-social dogs who won't jump on her or insist she play rough. She is not high energy but does love to go for walks and enjoys riding in the car. She has to be around you, near you, by you, as long as you are there with her to give her an occasional belly rub. Lana has that rascally side as well as she has, in the past, gotten into the trash for food. LOL Gotta laugh at this one! *Lana will need to be on continued immunotherapy for life and most likely be followed by a vet specializing in allergies so please make sure you are ok with possible financial and emotional obligations. *Lana is currently in a foster home so just call VABCAC at 385-4444 to schedule an appointment to meet her!

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.
