All dogs are unique--but mixed breeds are even more so! This friendly guide helps you count the ways, including why they often enjoy better health than their pedigreed counterparts and the reasons they can make better domestic companions. Whether you prefer mystery mixes or designer Labradoodles, a rescue from a shelter or a pup from a breeder--or you just want to know more about your dog--you'll find everything you need to properly choose, train, and care for your not-quite-best-in-show (but much-loved) best friend. This book will ensure you and your mixed-breed pal will live happily and healthily ever after
