No, dog shows judge how well a particular dog represents the "standard" for his breed. Since a mutt is not just one breed, he couldn't represent a breed.
A mutt COULD be entered in a dog agility competition. These are timed-trials where dogs run through, under, around, over an obstacle course in the fastest time while following the trainer's commands about where to go. A dog does not need a pedigree to be in one of these competitions.
dogs that are mixed breeds that shouldn'tAnswer:Mutts are defined as "dogs of mixed or indeterminate breed." By this definition, any mixed breed dog can be called a mutt, but the term is usually reserved for dogs that are so mixed, it's just not possible to determine what breeds they're made up of.
It was a 'MUTT' variety. Shows often picked up shelter dogs. And when several/same versions were needed due to extended years on television, they would put out the call to many who had similar dogs. Again, most having the MUTT quality. The kind of dog every one loved. A mix of character.
Yes. . . unless it's not. . . See the related question "What is a dog when it's not a dog?" and "Is my dog a dog?" for more information on these interesting questions.

A dog of mixed breed is commonly referred to as a "mutt" or a "mixed breed dog." These dogs can exhibit a variety of traits from different breeds and are often unique and full of personality. The term "inferior" is not accurate or appropriate to describe mixed breed dogs.
Since Akita dogs are a breed and not a species, they do not have their own scientific name.
"Mutt" is a term that is commonly used to refer to a mixed-breed dog, meaning a dog that does not belong to a specific breed. It is not a formal classification like purebred or hybrid, but rather a general term used to describe dogs of mixed ancestry.
Intrestingly the first dog shows didnt have many docked dogs, in English dog shows ear cropping was not allowed for years keeping many american's from competing. Most people now see the pointless cruel nature of docking and in the future more natural dogs will be making their way into American dog shows
Since the most common representation of dogs in America is "mutt", the most common lineage of shelter residents is "mutt" also (it is a rarity for a purebred dog of any type to turn up in a shelter). Mutts are not to be disdained. They tend to be the smartest, healthiest and longest-lived of dogs.
Mutts are dogs that have been bread from two different types of dogs. For example a pug and a beagle equals a puggle. So technically a puggle is a mutt. But people call stray dogs mutts just because they are scavengers and what not.
