Description
Dog Breed: Hound / Mixed (medium coat). In 2021, Fergus, a skinny little puppy, was surrendered to a NC shelter because at 10 weeks old he was having accidents. We had a transport scheduled for the following day, and the shelter asked if we had room for one more. So we took him in, and he was adopted shortly after he arrived. This week we received the very sad news that his mom passed away. We remember Fergus’ mom fondly, and we extend our deepest condolences to her family. Fergus is very fortunate to have a family member now fostering him. While he obviously misses his mom, we are thankful that he had a soft place to land with people who want the very best for him. Fergus is about 5 years old and 50 pounds and doing well in his foster home. He is very good with people and lived his whole life with another dog. His foster family has a dog who he loves to play and take walks with. We think it best that if his new family has a dog(s) that they are about his same size. He is living with a dog trainer who has been crate training him and teaching him many new things!! She will follow him and help Fergus’ new adopters with training and acclimating him to their home. We are grateful to Fergus’ mom’s lovely family for making sure he was safe during this incredibly stressful time. Please consider stepping in and healing his broken heart.

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.
