Like human beings, dogs can take on the personality of one parent more than the other. One can be laid back like a Pug while the other is driven by a sense of smell like a Beagle.ĭepending on their parental lineage, one particular breed may dominate the dog’s personality and temperament. For example, two Puggles (a mix of Pug and Beagle breeds) similar in appearance may behave differently. They may gravitate more strongly to certain qualities if one of their breeds is more dominant. Variation in genes means, like their purebred counterparts, each mixed-breed dog’s personality is unique.
Pride and enthusiasm for mixed breeds are evident with online and in-person celebrations of #NationalMuttDay, which calls attention to mutts while helping to save lives. The study did show that although mixed breeds are less likely to develop certain disorders they “may still be carriers.” The largest-ever DNA study of 330 breeds including 83,000 mixed-breed dogs and 18,000 purebred dogs revealed fewer mixed breeds are affected by disease-causing mutations versus purebred dogs. Due to their mixed breed lineage, the perception exists that less purebred genetic material may mean less genetic problems such as heart disease, hip dysplasia, and kidney disease. Some people believe they are less prone to certain illnesses. Public perception of mixed breeds has evolved over the years. While a mixed breed dog’s lineage might be unknown, a designer dog’s line can generally be traced back, such as a Labrador Retriever and a Poodle combined to produce a Labradoodle. With more than one breed in its bloodline, their ancestors are often a variety of two or more dogs. Search Articles: Submit Search Close Search Favorites
