Describing Dogs Of Diverse Heritage

What should we call them anyway?

A couple of generations ago, a dog who was not purebred would likely be described as a cur or a mongrel—terms that have a strong derogatory connotation. The word “mutt” means essentially the same thing, but has gone from being a bit negative to becoming simply descriptive or even affectionate. The neutral term “mixed breed” has become the most common one for dogs with no known purebred ancestors.
