mutts

Mutts are dogs with mixed ancestry, meaning they inherit genetic traits from two or more different breeds. Unlike purebred dogs, which come from a recognized breed with registered lineage, mutts have a diverse genetic background, often resulting in a wide range of appearances, personalities, and health characteristics. They are commonly found in shelters and are often appreciated for their unique combinations and adaptability. Because they come from various breeds, mutts can be less predictable in size and temperament than purebreds, making each one a distinctive and individual companion.
