Mongrel dog meeting real love

by Wildlife Adm January 29, 2023

Mongrels, also known as mutts, are a mixed-breed dog. Unlike ‘designer’ mixed breeds, such as Golden Doodles, Cockapoos, or Puggles, a mongrel results from the unintentional breeding of two dogs. It is estimated that there are about 150 million mongrels around the globe.

Many people prefer adopting a mongrel over purchasing a purebred from a breeder. They are significantly less expensive than the price you’d pay for a purebred and often have fewer health issues because of less inbreeding. The personality and temperament of a mongrel can vary depending on the breeds that are included in their genetic makeup. If you are unsure of a mongrel’s bloodlines, this can make it more of a challenge to guess what their temperament may be.
