A mixed breed dog is a dog whose genetic background is unknown and one that shares characteristics between two or more different breeds. These types of dogs can go by many different names like mutt, mongrel, or random bred dog.

Even though a mixed breed dogs have several advantages over purebreds, most people still seem to prefer purebreds. However, one of the advantages of mixed breed dogs is that they tend to show a higher intelligence on average than most purebreds.

Also, because something called hybrid vigor, mixed breed dogs are on average healthier and live longer than purebreds. This is because purebred dogs often carry a narrow set of genetic genes and genetic problems are easily passed on to the next generation.

The unique appearance of a mixed breed dog is another huge advantage that they have. It is hard to find two of these dogs that look exactly the same, because of the random recombination of genetics.

Also, these random bred dogs often have superior reproductive traits. These dogs are often superior mothers and produce more milk and give better care to their offspring. Because of this better care, they also have decreased mortality of their puppies.

While some people might view their dog's pedigree as a status symbol, most people would rather value their dog' individuality, personality, and health. Which, in the long run, is far more important.

Regardless of their genetic background these types of dogs can make great family pets. They also tend to get along very well with children. The only disadvantage of a mixed breed dog is that you do not know on average how big they will grow.
