Description
Dog Breed: Unknown breed. We received Fergus, a 3 year old Shih Tzu, from a young couple who rescued him from a breeding farm where he was kept in a crate 24/7 for 3 years, and used only for breeding. He is a sweetheart, but not house trained or neutered (fixed). He is very timid and shy, but not aggressive and doesn't growl or bite and is very introverted. He is good with other Shih Tzus, but startles easily at sudden sounds. We have taught him to use steps, to properly eat and drink from bowls, but he has to wear a diaper in the house. He is still learning to be on a leash. He needs someone to be with him continuously, but is a cuddle bug when you can put him on your lap. We were misinformed about his vaccinations when we received him. When we called the vet we were told he was taken to, they had no records. He will come with a crate, his blanky, toys, and a bed. **** Breed: Shih Tzu **** Pet Link: .nokillnetwork/adoption/pet_detail.php?petid=2196577&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.
