Species group: Mixed Breeds

The basics:
RightPet does not advocate the intentional cross-breeding of purebred dogs. But the reality is that most dogs available for adoption at shelters and rescues are mixed breeds. We think it might be helpful to hear from owners of these mixes to see what traits can be found in these dogs who are desperately needing homes.

The pairing between a Bluetick Coonhound and a Dalmatian isn't all that common, but you may occasionally encounter this mix in a rescue.

Appearance / health:
While all mixed-breed dogs can vary in appearance, Bluetick Coonhound / Dalmatian Mixes do tend to have spots or "ticking."

Behavior / temperament:
While it's impossible to predict the exact personality of a mixed-breed dog, the temperament of the parent breeds suggest that the Bluetick Coonhound / Dalmatian Mix can be socialized to become an exceptionally friendly family animal.
