Description
Dog Breed: Pit Bull Terrier (medium coat). OTHER PETS: Olives was excited to meet other dogs and was definitely interested in playing. Her level of energy may be a bit much for some dogs, though, so she would likely do best with a social dog that can match her exuberance in play. [Case-By-Case (Must Meet First)] OWNER EXPERIENCE: Olive is a dog that is rarely caught sitting still, and will do best with someone committed to meeting her needs through enrichment and positive reinforcement (or willingness to learn). [Some Experience] KIDS: Olives has a lot of energy and can be jumpy in her excitement to greet new friends. She would do best in a home with older kids that are able to understand how to interact with her and when to let her have her own space. [15+ (Must Meet First)] ACTIVITY LEVEL: Olives is a lot of dog with a lot of energy! In a home environment, she would do best with both routine walks/exercise and various forms of mental enrichment--such as games and puzzles--to keep her mind and body busy. [Olympic Athlete] VETERINARY CARE: [Routine] LEVEL OF TRAINING NEEDED: Olives is beginning her positive reinforcement journey, and will do best learning with someone who can offer patience while she adjusts to a new home and environment. Positive reinforcement will help Olives not only learn her basic cues, skills, and some fun tricks, but will also help her bond with her new guardian. [Moderate] GROOMING: Routine brushing will help to minimize shedding in the home. [Minimal]

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.
