Is mutt positive negative or neutral?
It depends on the breeding of the mutt. And how they are
trained. Our four year old wolf/dalmation/bull mastiff/huskie mix
is very well trained. He's very much a protector though. He tends
to howl at the sirens, but telling him to quiet it down and he'll
just whine. He sheds a lot but that's because of the huskie and
wolf in him. Mutts or mixed breed dogs tend to be well behaved and
have less chances of health difficulties. This is because of less
chances of being inbred, like most pure bred dogs. Because
Mutts/mixed breed dogs are not bred for certain qualities, just for
companionship, they tend to be kind and protective, especially if
the breeds put in to them (if known at all) are protectors, like
the bull mastiff and wolf are. Although the dalmation is not an
aggressive dog, they tend not to do well with young children, which
is why I was fairly surprised with how he acted around the 2 year
old I was watching, he let the kid tug on his tail, fur, ears, and
around his mouth, when he finally did get sick of it, he just
nudged the kid off. Of course, kids come back, and this one did,
and the kid plopped on him, he got up, and very carefully laid on
him. My dog is quite well tempered, but he has been trained well.
He's a very beautiful dog, and quite large. This is not speaking on
behalf of all mixed breeds, but from my experience with them they
are well behaved, protective, easy to train, and have very few
health problems. So next time you think about getting a family dog,
don't go to some fancy breeder, rescue an animal from the shelter,
watching out for any warnings they have put up of course. You never
know, you might find your perfect mutt, instead of some fancy pure
bred that everyone wants
