MUTT day, celebrating Mixed Breed Dogs

 

Mama said we have to join the fun on this day because she has never been owned by a NON-Mutt

Mama is learning to draw the long way. Watchng videos. She found one that said start by using color books for inpsiration, take it into procreate, drag the opacity and make it light, use ink stroked to draw over. 
Top left color book dog, bottom is part opacity light and part inking, the large one is her finished drawing of an adorable Mutt. 
Mutt is any mixed breed dog, except for the ones HUMANS have mixed two breeds on purpose. We have no idea what they are, so will go with bi-breed pups.. ha ha

Mam has ben owned by 30 mutts in her long, long life. her words not mine. All of them were many breeds mixed together, some call that Heinz 57.
Next you will find her painting of her favorite Mutt of All Her Life.

National Mutt Day, also known as National Mixed Breed Dog Day, celebrates mutts of all kinds and promotes their welfare and adoption around the world.

Mutt dogs are sometimes overlooked and underappreciated, especially compared to their purebred brethren. Their time from shelter to adoption often takes longer than purebreds since there are simply more mixed-breed dogs available than families willing to adopt them. It is estimated that almost 80% of shelter dogs are mutts.

Gail and I think you mutts are great and wish you all well on your special day.
But I, Nobby, would like to point out that if it wasn't for pure breds like me, then mutts would not exist!

Even by human intention they are called mixed breed... Unless there's a Poodle involved. Then you get lots of different types of -poo... Angel Jade was a crossbreed (that's another name where only two were involved) and she had the best of both in her! Hugs and wags YAM-aunty xxx

Happy Mutt Day. We never have had designer pups here. They have always been mutts. The very best pups.

Love all your past babies and you know I love Beau.

Have a fabulous day and rest of the week. Scritches to Beau. ♥

Your parents sure have had lots of great mutts over the years including you, Beau.

We agree that mutts are great since we both are a mixture of lots of different dogs. Our parents had pure breed dogs for their first few but decided to go with mutts to not have as many genetic problems that they had with the pure breed dogs.

Mama loves you so much. I like the drawing she did. I especially like the drawing of you. Happy Mutt Day!

Happy Mutt Day, Mr. Extraordinare!
I love all dogs, but those fancy pedigreed ones strike me as being like 'some' humans who act like they're better than everyone else.

I love that acronym so much!

What a distinguished portrait of you. Your talented mom really loves you.

I am not a mutt myself, having a lengthy and impressive pedigree. My beloved Noelle, however, was a mutt and so is our daughter, Lily. They are the best!

Woofs,
Ollie
