Description
Dog Breed: Yorkshire Terrier Yorkie / Silky Terrier (long coat). Adoption Fee: 300.00. Nellie is an 18month yorkie/silkie mix Both Nellie and Nonnie (7yo mastiff) are very sweet and good with everybody. Both were dumped out in the countryside; they were seen trying to survive for weeks by a local farmer. Nonnie, the mastiff was looking after Nellie. The farmer called the Colusa shelter and they were picked up showing signs of dehydration and malnutrition. They were covered in ticks and Nellie was severely matted with embedded foxtails. Thanks to the care they received at the shelter, they are good shape now to be spayed as the next step to a loving foster home or adoption together. We promised to try to keep them together They are fiercely bonded due to their abandonment and survival together in the countryside. We realize this may take a while.

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.
