Random bred puppies are also known as mixed breeds or mongrels (or mutts). Their ancestry can be estimated but not verified. They are often presented to a prospective buyer as a mixture of well-known breeds, such as “shepherd mix” or “poodle mix.” Some traits, such as size and temperament, are difficult to predict in young puppies, as random bred puppies may change drastically as they mature. Traits such as adult size, coat type, and temperament become easier to predict in older puppies. Random breds can be described as “surprise packages”; only time will reveal exactly what you have. That has its own charms.
