A mixed breed, also known as a mixed-breed dog, mutt, or mongrel, refers to a dog that is not of a single publicly recognized breed. Mixed-breed dogs are often a combination of two or more different breeds. They tend to have a diverse range of characteristics, including physical appearance, temperament, and health. These dogs may arise from accidental mating or planned breeding for particular traits or to avoid certain genetic health issues common in purebred dogs. Mixed breeds offer a lot of variety and can sometimes be considered healthier due to genetic diversity, which can reduce the likelihood of inherited diseases.
