Let’s get one thing straight right out of the gate: every dog is an awesome dog, no matter the breed, the pedigree, or the way it looks. Some people might like giant fluffy dogs, others prefer tiny lap dogs, but the truth is we are all just happy to have a canine friend by our side. Also, all known breeds were created by mixing different existing breeds, so technically, all dogs are mixed breed dogs.

What is a Mutt? 

A mutt, or a mongrel, is a dog that doesn’t belong to any officially recognized breed based on its visual or biological characteristics. Either one, both, or none of the parents can be purebred, but if the process happens with no selective purposes, all the cute puppies you get as a result of this union will be mutts.

Sometimes, people refer to mutts as mixed breed dogs to avoid a certain negative meaning the word “mongrel” can have. But this isn't entirely correct because mongrels don’t always hail from two defined breeds.  

There is a certain prejudice against mixed dog breeds as opposed to purebreds since they’re considered less valuable commercially or can’t participate in dog pageants. As any kind of prejudice and discrimination it should be eliminated. All breeds you know started as a mix of two different breeds, in other words, as mixed dog breeds.

Crossbreed vs Mutt Dog

The main difference between crossbreeds and mutts is whether the mixing process was intentional. Crossbreeds are created by humans through an intentional mix of two or more breeds. This can be done either for functional or visual purposes. 

On the other hand, the idea behind the mutt definition is that they are born with no human interference. They may or may not have purebred parents who belong to different breeds.
