Obviously, purebred dogs have charm, but when one beautiful breed of dog meets another, you can make the most of both. Whether it’s a cross breed dog or a “designer dog” bred on purpose, these unique puppies can vary in size, appearance and temperament. They also have what’s called “hybrid vigor,” which often makes them healthier than their purebred counterparts, according to Gary Weitzman, DVM, MPH, CAWA, author of the Comprehensive Guide to Health, Behavior and happiness of pets. And there is no denying that they can also double the tenderness factor.
If you are considering adding a dog to your family, consider adopting a cross breed dog from an accredited shelter or rescue center. Choose the one that suits your lifestyle and your family, including any other animals you already have.
Cavachon
Due to the characteristics of its parents, the Cavachon is a dog which has a very beautiful physical appearance. However, its benefits go much further, because we are faced with a hypoallergenic dog of a cheerful nature and above all very energetic.
Pomsky
Also known as a mini husky, the Pomsky dog is a real stuffed animal of meat and bone, a really adorable hairy ball that will not leave anyone indifferent. Precisely because of its appearance, the Pomsky has gained popularity in recent years.
Yorkipoo
The Yorkipoo is one of the most recent hybrid breeds, coming from crosses between the yorkshire terrier and the poodle or miniature poodle. From his parents, he keeps the size small, because the two progenitor breeds are considered as small dogs or Toy dogs.
Cockapoo
The Cockapoo is, like many other breeds of hybrid dogs, one of the trend crosses in recent years. Its engaging appearance, like that shown by pomsky or maltipoo, shows that, more and more, people are looking for a partner with personality, whatever their breed.
Schnoodle
Do you know what a Schnoodle is? Neither more nor less than the result of crossing the schnauzer and the poodle. Whatever its size, the schnoodle is a friendly, intelligent dog, does not molt often and likes people.
Goldendoodle
If you like the soft character of the Golden Retriever but prefer a dog that does not release as much hair, the Goldendoodle is your ideal companion. For this reason, it is suitable for all allergy sufferers.
Shorkie
The Shorkie is a mixed breed dog, a cross between the Shih Tzu and Yorkshire Terrier dog breeds. Small, fierce and loyal, these puppies inherited the best qualities from their two parents.
Most weigh 3 to 6 kg and vary in height from 15 to 35 cm. That said, many may be smaller or larger.
Shih-Poo
A charming cross between a Shih Tzu and a poodle, the Shih-poo has a lot of personality. This little dog tends to be a bit stubborn, but when you look at that little face, you just can’t deny it anything. The shih-poo may have more curly fur (reflecting their poodle heritage), but it may also have silky fur (from its Shih Tzu background).
Chiweenie
The only thing cuter than the name is the dog itself. This pint-sized hybrid has the intelligence of a chihuahua and the fiery nature of a dachshund.
Morkie
The Morkie, a special little dog born from the cross between the Yorkshire terrier and the Maltese. These dogs have very special characteristics, for example, do you know that the Morkie is one of the breeds of dogs considered to be the most loyal and daring?
