Description
Dog Breed: Hound / Mixed. Calling all hound lovers! Gigi is a beautiful 50-pound 2 year old southern gal with wonderfully long, silky ears and a nose that's always ready for its next adventure. She came to PAW from rural Virginia and is still getting used to the sights and sounds of Maryland, but she's taking it all in stride—one sniff at a time. Like any good scent hound, Gigi believes every walk is an opportunity to investigate the world around her. She may start out with a little excitement, but once she's settled in, she's happy to stroll along, following interesting scents and enjoying the journey. Gigi loves meeting new people, rides nicely in the car, is interested in other dogs, and has been making great progress with her leash manners. She's also treat-motivated, making continued training both fun and rewarding. While Gigi is new to PAW, she appears to be house trained, keeping her kennel clean while waiting for her forever family. After her outdoor adventures, she's happy to slow down for ear scratches and affection. Gigi would love a home with a fenced yard where she can safely explore, but she'd be just as happy joining you on neighborhood walks or hiking trails—as long as there's plenty to sniff along the way. If you're looking for a loyal companion who reminds you to slow down and enjoy the little things, Gigi is ready to sniff out her forever home. PAW adopts in MD, northern VA, DC, and southern PA.

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.
