A "Mutt" or hybrid dog is a mixed-breed canine that results from the breeding of two or more different dog breeds. These dogs can inherit a variety of traits from their parent breeds, including size, coat type, and temperament. Because of this genetic diversity, mutts often exhibit unique physical characteristics and personalities. Mutt dogs are popular among pet owners for their individuality and often lower risk of genetic health issues compared to purebred dogs. Many animal shelters and rescue organizations promote the adoption of mutts, as they make loving companions and help reduce the number of homeless animals in communities.
