When in America, it is politically INcorrect to call mixed breeds a mutt – we were told! LOL!
We met this lovely lady who told Mummy that when she called me a “mutt.”
Mummy, you have to stop telling everyone I am a mutt.
You can call me a Heinz 57 dog.
You can call me “an accident” … (ha! ha!) or a Hungarian Refugee
But the correct term, we were told is – I am a Mixed Breed!!!!
May’s comment: Ah, yes, that PC thing has made its way to the dog’s world. LOL! We were told “mutt” is a derogatory term and they are now mixed-breeds when more than two combinations. And a two combo is a cross-breed. 
But I love my maltese/shih-tzu/Yorkshire terrier mutt!!!
The handsomest of them all!

From The Pocket Oxford Dictionary of Current English, 1982; printed in Great Britian at the University Press, Oxford:
mutt n. (sl.) Ignorant, stupid, or blundering person; (derog.) dog. [abbr.”mutton-head”]
It’s not nice in GB either. “House of Mutt” is a play on words.
Huggies Georgie!!!! You’re a “multi-cultural boy”!
