Mixed-breed dogs are generally quite intelligent, ranking in the top ten on purebred dog intelligence lists. Because mixed breeds often combine the genetic advantages of two or more breeds, their intelligence tends to be higher than that of purebred dogs, and they usually have good physical constitutions, get sick less easily, and are not picky eaters, making them easier to raise.
However, mixed-breed dogs usually have more individual personalities and are not as gentle and clingy as purebred dogs, so owners should train them from a young age to build dependence on you.
