Description
Dog Breed: West Highland White Terrier Westie (long coat). Marilyn is a Westie (mix?) whose family’s last resort was turning her over to the shelter when due to a move, they were unable to take her with them. Marilyn has hair loss due to chronic skin allergies, but it has not affected her friendly personality and willingness to adapt to new people and situations. She is six years old, right at 30 pounds, and would love a family willing to bathe her a few times weekly while her skin issues are addressed. She loves to give kisses, and is grateful for the attention she is getting. PLEASE NOTE: This pet has been posted by Friends of Campbell County Animal Control, Rustburg, VA.

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.
