When it comes to mixed breeds, you have to rely on the shelter to really know their animals. Knowing what breeds they are mixed with definitely helps. While every dog is an individual, breeds are still predisposed to certain behavior traits regardless. I can’t really suggest a certain mix that you’d find in your shelter, but most shelters have foster programs and they can provide you with a much better insight on how their dogs behave. You can also foster one yourself!
I’m interested in adopting a mixed breed dog later on in life. What should I look out for and what would be the best kind for a laid back and easy going lifestyle?

- I mean, people just need to realize that no dog is an easy dog. Some are *easier* but they’re energetic, living creatures who aren’t going to automatically know how to behave the way that their owners may want. Every dog breed requires work and effort and time, so no one should get a dog with the mindset that it will be easy and train itself
