Description
Dog Breed: Pit Bull Terrier (medium coat). Gideon came into PCAPS a spunky young pup. He's grown up here. The world outside is so big since all he's known is shelter life. We're hoping the right family is out there to change that. He loves the volunteers and all staff, but can act shy when meeting potential adopters. He seems to do better when he's around his dog friends. We haven't seen him with cats yet but think he would do fine with kids.

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.
