FYI...There are a profusion of words and phrases used for dogs that are not purebred. The words cur, tyke, mutt and mongrel are used, but are either derogatory, or have derogatory meanings according the the Oxford English Dictionary.
That may be why some are sensitive.

I never thought that being called a mutt was deragotory...
I guess I've been insulted many times.
*shrugs* I think that the term mutt is not bad--- especially compared to mongrel.
