Why buy a crossbreed?
- Diversity: Mixed breed dogs are a mixture of two or more different breeds, resulting in a unique combination of characteristics. This results in a greater variety in appearance, temperament and personality. If you are looking for a unique and individual dog, a mixed breed may be the right choice.
- Health: Mixed breeds have the advantage of being genetically more diverse than purebred dogs. This means that they are less susceptible to certain genetic health problems that occur in various breeds.
- Character: Mixed breed dogs can combine various breed characteristics and traits. They carry both positive and negative characteristics of different breeds, each in varying degrees. It is therefore important to remember that the final characteristics of a mixed breed dog are difficult to predict, as they depend on the parents and can vary greatly.
- Animal welfare: There are often mixed-breed dogs living in animal shelters and on the streets abroad. By adopting such a mongrel, you can offer a grateful dog a loving home and at the same time help to reduce the number of stray animals.
Regardless of the breed of origin or age of the dog you choose, you should make sure that you have enough time in your daily routine to meet the dog’s individual needs and give it the care and attention it requires, including daily walks and regular visits to the vet.
