Description
Dog Breed: Yorkshire Terrier Yorkie (medium coat). OTHER PETS: Dixie is very playful and would likely be a good match for a similarly playful dog. She's excited to meet new friends and will initiate play with other pups. A meet between dogs is still a must before adoption. [Likely (With proper introduction)] OWNER EXPERIENCE: Experience with positive reinforcement or willingness to learn. Dixie is an energetic pup who enjoys meeting new people but her excitement can lead to mouthiness. Stopping playtime when teeth hit skin, and taking a minute before playtime resumes, is the best way to teach a dog that the teeth and skin don't belong togther. [Some Experience] KIDS: Older kids who are respectful and can give a dog space would be the best fit. For everyone's safety and comfort, minors should be actively supervised when spending time together. [Likely 10+] ACTIVITY LEVEL: Dixie is a happy, energetic girl and she makes sure everyone around her appreciates her enthusiasm. She's eager to play and will thrive with a combination of regular exercise and plenty of mental enrichment such as food puzzles, sniffing time, and learning new tricks. [Olympic Athlete] VETERINARY CARE: Regular visits to the vet will help keep Dixie in her ideal health. [Routine] LEVEL OF TRAINING NEEDED: Learning should be fun, positive reinforcement is the best way to strengthen the human canine bond while building confidence and learning new skills and fun tricks. [Ongoing] GROOMING: Regular brushing, baths, and visits to the groomer will help keep Dixie's coat clean and smooth. [Routine Brushing]

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.
