Description
Dog Breed: Unknown breed (short coat). Location: Rome, NY Lyla, 5 yrs young Rome, NY Hello everyone! Meet Lyla. She is originally a southern gal, that traveled north to her foster home from Georgia, and she is just about as sweet as a Georgia peach. Since Lyla arrived it is clear that she really loves being with people, anywhere we are she wants to be there too. If you let her, she would crawl onto your lap and soak up all the love you want to give. She honestly makes a great movie marathon partner all cozied up on the couch. She immediately got along just fine with our more energetic young male dog and pays no attention to our small female dog. She will play with the male when he initiates it but is completely content to just lounge on the couch or on the deck in the sunshine. Going for a car ride? She’s down for that too and likes to look around (but would literally crawl into your lap and be your bonus driver if she could). Lyla did meet a set of human triplets that are a year old and seemed to not really pay them any mind. That said, she would probably feel more comfortable in a home without lots of small human noise and activity as she did seem a little overwhelmed when the triplets all started crying at once. Lyla is house trained and crate trained. She goes into the crate like it’s no big deal and doesn’t fuss. She also would sleep either on her own comfy dog bed next to your bed or right with you in bed if you invite her. She has not shown any real interest in toys but is very into treats and is food motivated so that would make future training quite easy. She walks nice on a leash, doesn’t pull but could use some refining if you don’t want her zigzagging in front of you. Her recall isn’t 100% but it is pretty good considering she has only known the name Lyla since she arrived in our home. She also did great getting a bath at the pet store. Lyla really is such an easygoing, sweet, friendly dog. She will be such an amazing best friend for the right person or family. Now for the only item of disclosure. Lyla did have a little trouble with incontinence (some urine leakage). However, we have seen the Dogtor (veterinarian) and she was prescribed medication to help with that. Great news, it did help, and she does not have her leaky faucet while on this medication. She just may need to be on it for a while, vet thought it may be possible to take her off it at some point in the future. Other than that, Lyla is up to date on all vetting, is microchipped and spayed. We do not know how she is with cats or children over the age of 1 but has been very friendly to every dog and person she has met so far. She does like to keep the yard clear of squirrels though, they don’t get to hang around here, not on her watch.

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.
