Finding
out about Dog Breeds.
Undoubtedly most of the dogs in the UK will be of the
cross breed variety (mixed breed, mongrels, mutts.....)
. Cross breed dogs can be cute, often making great pets
and friends, but can you always be sure how those cute
pups will grow and what kind of dog they will turn out
to be like.
Pedigree dog breeds are easily recognisable and have the
advantage of a "Breed History".
