Description
Dog Breed: Unknown breed. Biscuit was found in the middle of the road at about 5 months old. I was just trying to help him not get hit, but he and my other dog got along and I had just had a major health crisis and was a bit irrational about what I could handle and I ended up keeping him. He was full of hookworms. I have never had dogs before (other than my mother's wheelchair assistance dog) and my first dog came from the litter of a friend, so always had a stable home. As an inexperienced dog parent, I did not understand and was naive as to the behavioral issues that might develop with a rescue that was already food possessive. He is not good with cats and I have multiple cats. I am a homebody and realize now that I did not socialize him properly. He shares toys in the yard and eats with my other dog after developing trust. We worked on that. He has to sit and I count to three and the food bowl goes down on "three." Additionally, he is neutered, microchipped, and DNA tested -- I am waiting on the results. He is 60 pounds and needs a home with experienced dog owners. He needs behavioral and/or corrective training for his fear and mild resource guarding, but is not actively aggressive. I had him assessed by a trainer from Muttworks in Texarkana and we both agree that rehoming is best, because I have health conditions and it's in the best interest of the other pets. I have full medical records and he recently had his 3 year rabies vaccination and is up to date on all flea/tick/heart worm medications. Any help or advice is appreciated. This is an urgent situation. I am trying to save his life. He is such a good boy and I love him. He needs more than I am capable of right now. I also have a full-sized kennel that is his "place" that will come with him. He feels safe there. I will update the DNA results when I receive them. I believe he could be an *excellent* working dog. Anyone interested will be properly vetted, due to the cash incentive. Thank you for considering this excellent boy. **** Breed: Unknown **** Pet Link: .nokillnetwork/adoption/pet_detail.php?petid=2195083&flag=1

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.
