Mixed-breed dog
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.

Nobody ever …
Nobody ever believes me when i say that mix breeds are genetically better which they are because they have more variation, when the human equivalent like Black African man is bred with a White European there children are often better genetically than both Black’s and White’s but people seem to accept that but dog breeders hate the idea that this is correct

two things, first …
two things, first off, a lot of the dogs you see in circus acts are both mixed breed and rescued from shelters. The trainers aren’t looking for AKC papers, but ability and availability. Mixed breeds have that in spades. Don’t ever let anyone tell you that mixed breeds are inferior to pure-bred.
Secondly, going by anecdotal evidence I’ve read, the mixes are less prone to genetic diseases like hip dysplacia and deafness.
Oh, and a mixed breed is a one of a kind dog. Yours will be unique.
