The dogs known as mestizos or "mutts" they are the result of crossing dogs of various breeds. They are strong, intelligent animals of a different character, not at all inferior to purebred dogs, unlike what is sometimes believed. Of various shapes and sizes, they can be really charming.
A curious fact is that the first dogs in history were mongrels, due to the crosses of the wolf with other similar species. In fact, currently some of them have acquired the category of purebred dogs, such as the Bassug (a mixture of Nasset Hound and Carlino). Today many breeds are artificially crossed or without complying with the appropriate standards, putting the health of these animals at risk.
That is why many times health problems are associated with dogs of razaWhile mestizos are said to be stronger and more long-lived. However, like the previous ones, they need certain care. And it is that although they are less likely to inherit congenital diseases, it is essential that they receive adequate nutrition, veterinary care, protection against insects, etc.
Regarding their character, it is stated that mestizos are more intelligent and affectionate, but the truth is that this depends to a greater extent on the education they receive than of his race. Whether they are nervous or calm, aggressive or affectionate, is something that their nature influences, but with the appropriate training we can be able to modify their behavior.
On the other hand, these dogs they are not usually sold, since its economic value is very low or non-existent. In this sense, there are breeders who are dedicated to crossing certain breeds only for the fact of obtaining a unique animal of high value, this being an enormous responsibility on their part, since in this way they put the health of the female at serious risk and the babies. We should never acquire an animal raised in situations of this type.
