Crossbreed

The term crossbreed or crossbred refers to a domestic animal where the breed status of only one parent or grandparent is known. Crossbreed may also refer to a hybrid animal of two purebred parents.

A dog of unknown parentage is called a mongrel; a mongrel cat is often referred to as a moggie.
