Description
Dog Breed: Shepherd / Mixed. Courtesy Post — Chief was adopted from us in 2021 as a puppy, and his family in St. Joseph, Michigan is now looking for a more suitable home for him. He is a wonderful, sweet Shepherd mix, about 5 years old and 60 pounds. Chief loves his immediate family and gets along beautifully with the other dogs in the home — including small dogs. His challenge is with the grandkids who visit frequently from across the street. He becomes protective of his belongings, especially his bed, and this behavior is only directed toward the grandkids, not adults and not other dogs. He gets anxiety and tucks his tail between his legs when the grandkids run in the house, and there is a lot of activity. He needs a quiet, calm home so he can relax. • A fully fenced-in yard • A home where someone is home more often • No regular visits from young children He is neutered, up to date on vaccines, and ready for a home that matches his comfort level and personality. His adoption fee is being waived; however, we do screen all applications carefully, and placement will only be made if it is the right fit for Chief. Applicants should have experience with Shepherds or similar breeds and a stable home environment

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.
