The Mixed Breed is often the ultimate family dog. They are generally considered healthier and often live longer than purebreds. This is because they draw from a broader, more diverse gene pool. They are thought to adjust more easily to a variety of households and living conditions, whereas purebreds tend to be bred with a specific skill set in mind, like herding or hunting.
Producing a Mixed Breed is the opposite of 'inbreeding'. Illnesses and conditions which are prevalent in certain breeds can be eliminated or reduced. Mutts are unique looking and have special personalities - one won't look like any other. A Mixed Breed is the offspring of 2 non purebred dogs. Most of the world's dogs are Mixed Breed.
Famous Mixed Breed owners include Drew Barrymore, Simon Cowell, George Clooney, Jon Hamm, Orlando Bloom.
FUN FACT:
There is a National Mutt Day, observed twice a year, July 31st and December 2nd. This is meant to encourage people wanting a dog to consider a rescue dog and potentially save a life!
The Mixed Breed is Britain's 2nd most popular dog!
