Description
Dog Breed: Belgian Shepherd Malinois (medium coat). This dog has chronic regurgitation and is suspected to have megaesophagus, a condition that requires lifelong management. Care typically includes feeding canned food in an elevated position, keeping the dog upright for 20 minutes after meals, and feeding 3â4 small meals per day to reduce the risk of aspiration pneumonia. Your veterinarian can help determine whether medication or additional diagnostics are recommended. Adopters should be prepared for the additional daily management this condition may require and are encouraged to discuss it with both shelter staff and their veterinarian.

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.
