   The Mixed Dogs, including the Mutt, can often be some of the most well rounded family pets!

  Mixed dogs will very often make exceptional family pets. These dogs consist of a huge variety of crossbred dogs. They include the popular designer dogs and other hybrid dogs, as well as the familiar mutt.

   For those dogs with a known parentage, the characteristics and traits are often apparent. However, they are often less dominant than they would be in a purebred dog. Consequently mixed dogs can make very well rounded companions. For some mixed dogs however, it can be hard to determine its parentage. When the parents are unknown, then it can be difficult to know what characteristics and traits will dominate, making behaviors and personality unknown.
