Description
Dog Breed: Terrier / Mixed. He’s scruffy, smart, clingy, funny, a little dramatic, and fully committed to being involved in whatever you’re doing at all times. He’ll bring you toys when you get home, curl up directly against you on the couch, and charm basically every person he meets. He came from a rural shelter, so city life was a big adjustment at first, but he’s already made a ton of progress. He’s much less reactive on walks now, calmer around noises, settles more easily at home, and has gotten significantly better with barking both inside and outside. He’s also improved a lot with being left alone and now sometimes walks into his crate to sleep on his own. He’s fully house trained, loves fetch, loves meal time, loves attention, and takes cuddling very seriously. He also occasionally stands on his hind legs for treats like a tiny rabbit. Quincy is still working on ignoring scooters and runners passing by, barking at dogs on TV, and staying relaxed at busy outdoor cafés, but he’s genuinely trying and responds really well to reassurance, routine, and people he trusts - and has gotten some extra help from magneticdogtraining. 4 years old • 12 pounds • and extra scruffy!

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.
