What is a mongrel?

A mongrel, also known as a mixed-breed or mutt, is a dog that has been bred from two or more different breeds, often with no formal breeding program. They can vary in size, appearance, and temperament based on their genetic makeup. Mongrels are often adopted from animal shelters or rescued from the streets, and can make great pets with proper training and socialization. They may also have better health and fewer genetic issues than purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity.
