Now, I’m not going to go as far as saying mutts rule the world because I rule the world and I am a wire fox terrier. But mutts come in a close second.
I know because I have 2 mutts living in my houses. They’re sisters and they look just alike. The vet had to microchip them so she could tell them apart when they go in for their check-ups. I think they’re awesome because they’re my friends.
But there are a lot of other reasons mutts are awesome. Here are a few.
1. They are unique – the number one question people ask is “what kind of dog is that?” This is typically followed by lots of cuddling, admiring, and conjecture. And even if the question may go unrequited, the one of its kind breed of dog gets the attention.
2. They are more flexible – they are not the typical breed with an explicit skill set in mind, such as hunting or herding .They’re the jacks of all trades!
3. They can still compete – . Unique temperaments may give them an edge, too. One top dog, named Brutus, is a Boston terrier mix who likes to stay close to his dog mom’s heels, making him an idyllic agility dog.
4. They make great service dogs – Being trained as a therapy or service dog is no longer narrowly to just purebreds. Mixed breeds are likewise as awesome and skilled in this regard.

When in fact this isn’t proven, and every dog is a distinct with his own needs and strengths, it is a fact that there are purebreds which are more prone to specific illnesses. Mixed breed dogs are believed to be less likely to develop hereditary infections, due to gene variation.
8. They have cheaper start-up costs – There are some shelters only require a $50 to $200 donation in order for you to adopt a dog. Plus, a mixed breed from the shelter is probably spayed or neutered and complete with the vaccinations, which will save you even more money.
