Description
Dog Breed: Flat-coated Retriever / Mixed (short coat). Found as an unkempt stray, but with the most loving attitude you can imagine, this boy showed up in a yard and wouldn't leave. After checking out his swollen paws, we can see that he is not comfortable walking on rough surfaces, and can only imagine the pain he was in as he strayed looking for someone to help him. The cause of the swollen paws is a mystery! There is no obvious reason he would be suffering from them, as there are no obvious scrapes, rashes, embedded seeds or rashes, and no urine scald like we might see in dogs that have been forced to stand in their own waste for an extended period of time. We are giving him time to walk in the grass, and see if that makes a difference for his ability to get better! He is housetrained, has meet other dogs though not in depth, and we are giving him time.

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.
