Mestizo Pequeño

Los mestizos pequeños son compañeros únicos, a menudo más saludables y adaptables que los de raza pura.

Temperamento

The Small Mixed Breed (Mestizo) is typically adaptable, loyal, and deeply bonded to their family. These dogs tend to be intelligent and curious, often showing a playful yet sensitive nature that responds well to patient guidance. Their unique personalities can range from outgoing and social to more reserved, but most are loving companions who thrive on human interaction.

Consideraciones de Salud

Small Mixed Breed (Mestizo) dogs often benefit from hybrid vigor, which can reduce the risk of some inherited conditions seen in purebred dogs. However, they can still develop common small-dog issues such as dental disease, patellar luxation (loose kneecaps), allergies, and eye problems. Because their genetic background is mixed, it is helpful to discuss any visible breed traits with your veterinarian, who can recommend appropriate screening or monitoring. With good care, many small mestizos live 12–16 years or more. A balanced diet, keeping them at a healthy weight, regular exercise, and routine veterinary checkups are key to a long, comfortable life. Annual wellness exams, bloodwork for senior dogs, vaccinations, parasite prevention, and prompt attention to changes in appetite, behavior, or mobility will help catch health issues early and improve outcomes.
