Description
Dog Breed: Pit Bull Terrier / Mixed (medium coat). OTHER PETS: Lisa did well greeting other dogs but is uncomfortable with other dogs focusing on her hind end and seems to be entering into heat. She may be more comfortable with other dogs once she has been spayed and has healed from her surgery, but would currently be comfortable with relaxed dogs that gave her space. [Case-By-Case (Must Meet First)] OWNER EXPERIENCE: Lisa would be a great first dog for any human dedicated to positive reinforcement, or willingness to learn, and giving Lisa her best life. [First Dog] KIDS: Lisa has been comfortable with most handling. She loves balls and is playful with humans, likely doing well with children with active supervision, and adults. Lisa may unintentionally knock over smaller humans while playing, and should meet any minors she would be living with prior to adoption. [10+ / Dog Savvy (Must Meet First)] ACTIVITY LEVEL: Lisa is playful with humans and toys and enjoys zoomies in the outdoor runs. She may settle into her future home and her exercise requirements may change - the best way to keep Lisa healthy would be with a mix of regular exercise and plenty of mental enrichment such as good puzzles and games. [Good Walking Buddy / Olympic Athlete] VETERINARY CARE: [Routine] (Uncomfortable getting teeth checked, may need a conversation with a vet first for the best approach) LEVEL OF TRAINING NEEDED: Positive reinforcement training will help Lisa bond with her new owner, build confidence, and help her learn new skills and fun tricks. Building a relationship while having fun with positive reinforcement will help open her world. [Minimal] GROOMING: [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.
