Since the definition of the word mutt is unknown linage, then yes, he would be a human mutt. And honestly? There are a lot of humans out there who do not know where they came from. As for the dog, IF YOU KNOW FOR A FACT that the dog is a German Shepherd and Lab mix, then yes, the dog is just a mix. But if you are just saying that due to coat colors, then it is a Mutt.

Make sense?

Of course this is how I see it. :P

I meant to put above that mixes don't always mean mutts.

Maybe you guys misunderstood me.. If you really have no certainty of lineage then YES it is a mutt. You could say "I GUESS that he/she is.... But Im not sure" but I do agree that you cant for sure say the dog IS a whatever/whatever mix if you dont have a pedigree on it.

What Im saying is that if you KNOW the dog is mixed with whatever breed, you should be able to state that you at least know its mixed with said breed.

Or if the dog is obviously a bully breed mix you should be able to say its a bully mix. Or if its an obvious terrier mix you should be able to say its a terrier mix. Etc.

P.s. Obviously i do know the lineage of my own child so no, its not a Mutt. The sire is 100% pedigreed Mexican and the Bitch is 100% Swiss
