A mixed-breed dog, also called a mutt, mongrel, tyke, cur, bitzer, feist or random-bred dog, is a dog that has characteristics of two or more types of breeds, or is a descendant of feral or pariah dog populations. The term “mixed-breed” is a misnomer, as it does not indicate the offspring of dogs of known or pure breeding. In contrast to mixed-breed, the term crossbreed refers to puppies produced by the intentional breeding of dogs of two different known purebred dog breeds. The term “mutt” or mixed-breed generally refers to a dog of unknown descent. Dogs interbreed freely, except where extreme variations in size exist, so mixed-breed dogs vary in size, shape, and color, making them hard to classify physically.There is a profusion of words and phrases used for dogs that are not purebred. The words cur, tyke, mutt and mongrel are used, sometimes in a derogatory manner. In the United Kingdom mongrel is the unique technical word for a mixed-breed dog. North Americans generally prefer the term mix or mixed-breed. Mutt is also used (in the U.S.A and Canada), and can be used in an affectionate manner. In Hawaii, mixed-breed dogs are referred to as poi dog, and in the Bahamas, they call them Pot Cakes (referring to the table-leftovers they are fed). Some American registries and dog clubs that accept mixed-breed dogs use the breed name All American. In South Africa, the tongue-in cheek expression pavement special is sometimes used as a description for a mixed-breed dog. Random-bred dog, mutt, and mongrel are often used for dogs who result from breeding without the supervision or planning of humans, especially after several generations, whereas crossbreed implies mixes of known breeds, sometimes deliberately mated.In Brazil and the Dominican Republic, the name for mixed-breed dogs is vira-lata (trash-can tipper) because there are dogs without owners that feed on urban garbage on the streets, and often knock over trash cans to reach the food.
In the Philippines, they are often called “askals”, a Tagalog-derived contraction of “asong kalye” or street dog.Slang terms are also common. Heinz 57 or Heinz is often used for dogs of uncertain ancestry, in a playful reference to the “57 Varieties” slogan of the H. J. Heinz Company. In some countries, bitsa (or bitzer) is common, meaning “bits o’ this, bits o’ that”. A fice or feist is a small mixed-breed dog. In Newfoundland, a smaller mixed-breed dog is known as a cracky, hence the colloquial expression “saucy as a cracky” for someone with a sharp tongue.To complicate matters, many owners of crossbreed dogs identify them—often facetiously—by an invented breed name constructed from parts of their parents’ breed names. These are known as portmanteau names. For example, a cross between a Pekingese and a Poodle is called a Peekapoo, possibly a play on peek-a-boo, along with the Goldendoodle, a cross between a poodle and a golden retriever. As another example, one of the UK’s Queen Elizabeth II’s famous Corgis mated with her sister’s Dachshund, and the resulting offspring were referred to as Dorgis. (German Shepherd + Pit bull = SUSI)O vira-lata é a denominação dada aos cães ou gatos sem raça definida, SRD, como são geralmente referenciados em textos veterinários.O termo vira-lata deriva do fato de muitos desses animais, quando abandonados, serem comumente vistos andando famintos pelas ruas revirando latas de lixo em procura de algum alimento.Geralmente os cães e gatos considerados sem raça definida são mestiços, descendentes de diferentes raçasOs SRD, por outro lado, são todos os cães e gatos que não têm origem definidas em um pedigree que é um certificado emitido por entidades oficiais atestando a ascendência do animal. Para obter um pedigree o animal tem que ter pais com o mesmo certificado. Entidades certificadoras exigem verificação de ninhada e mais recentemente a aplicação de microchips por veterinários. O animal pode ter a aparência de um cão de raça mas só o certificado atesta. Hoje, com o avanço dos exames de DNA, provavelmente há possibilidade de se definir se um cão é de uma determinada raça ou não, mas são exames ainda caros. Nem sempre um SRD é um vira-lata, ou seja um animal abandonado. Se houver qualquer mistura de raça (incluindo a cruza de dois animais de raça ou um de raça e um vira-lata) esse animal já será considerado um SRD.Um dos aspectos mais interessantes do vira-lata é a sua variedade. Encontram-se SRD’s de todas as cores e tipos, de todos os temperamentos. Ainda existem algumas características, como o fato de que costumam ser muito inteligentes e afetuosos, variando de acordo com as características herdadas. Normalmente o SRD resgatado das ruas tem um temperamento mais dócil e companheiro que os outros cães.

I’m looking for the perfect dog breed for me. My boyfriend doesn’t want a breed that looks to girly. We want a nice relaxed, small-medium sized dog that’s calm and friendly. Any ideas of breeds with temperments like a King Charles Spaniel, but looks a bit more like a Beagle?

Have you considered going to your local rescue centre and seeing what’s available there? There’s loads of great dogs of all ages, sizes, breeds/mixes.

I’m sure if you have a look around a few centres you’ll find something that appeals to both you and your boyfriend.

Blue heeler were bred to herd sheep, so proper care for this dog should include firm obedience to discourage nipping and disobedience. Use positive reinforcement and friendly methods of training blue heelers with advice from a certified dog trainer in this free video on pet care and obedience.

I want to make my dog( chow chow/ doberman) a professional, but i dont know how to. A lot of people have this mix breed and i want to go pro with the breed so it can be one of the many breeds of America.

Well, anyone with money can start a dog breed registry and call any mix of breeds they like a "new breed." Some people are registering their designer dogs (i.e. goldendoolde, puggle, etc.) with registries like that. That doesn’t really give your "breed" any credentials though.

The AKC takes a long time to recognize a new breed and a single owner isn’t going to have much luck convincing them. New breeds need to have breed standards regarding conformation, temperment, etc. You have to be able to breed 2 of these dogs together and get a litter of puppies that looks like the parents. This takes generations and generations to successfully complete.

Mutts ARE the #1 "breed" in America, so just be happy with what you’ve got! Dogs are great pets regardless of their registry.

I want to buy a new dog and these is my dream but I dont know what dog breed it is .Thanks
right click on dektop select properties and in background it is named friend
yes its black and wait (maybe sepia) picture

Is it the black and white pic with the dog laying?

If so it is a Labrador retriever.

Add-
I am pretty sure it is not a Weimarnaner, their ears and nose are slightly different.

Please do your research, the looks of a dog is the last thing you should consider when purchasing a dog.
