A crossbreed is a dog of mixed blood, whose parents are of two different breeds, or a mixture of several breeds. A mongrel is a dog of unknown parentage.

Crossbreeds often display a mixture of their parents traits. So it is important to take this into account when thinking of buying or rehoming a crossbreed. If you know the mix of breeds this may help but otherwise find out what you can about the parents.

The Kennel Club have been registering crossbreed dogs on its database for over 50 years.  If you are considering getting a crossbreed, why not consider being part of the Kennel Club and enjoy the benefits the registration brings?  The Activity and Companion Dog Registers offer lots of benefits that can enhance your crossbreed dog ownership experience.
