Description
Dog Breed: Pit Bull Terrier / Mixed (medium coat). Myrtel is a special girl with a story of resilience. When she first came to us, all she knew was life on the streets, fending for herself. She was shut down, didn’t want anything to do with people, and couldn’t walk on a leash. But with time, care, patience, and becoming the office dog, her true personality began to shine. Now, she’s the best girl on the leash, loving to play, run around, and vocalize. Myrtel has the sweetest, softest eyes you’ll ever see. She’s crate trained and learning potty training & doing GREAT. While new people can still be scary for her, and she’s a bit hesitant about being touched near her head, she absolutely loves some butt scratches. She’s done well around kids and gets along with most dogs, though she can be a bit much sometimes. We don’t recommend her in homes with cats, as she tends to be too focused on them. Myrtel is a wonderful girl ready for a patient and loving home to help her continue to grow.

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.
