The process has become so popular, it even has a name: Designer Dogs. Unfortunately, searching for the perfect pet and continuos breeding has led to a lot of animals having serious health issues and remaining homeless, since people are reluctant to take them in when they’re anything less than “perfect”. Just remember to check your local animal shelter for your new best friend before you head out to spend thousands of dollars.
The Maltipoo
This doggo is another one who was mixed with a Poodle, and this time with a Maltese. Aside from Poodles being incredibly smart, they’ve also got a great coat of fur that is low maintenance and doesn’t shed. Malteses are also known for their coat, which has even been referred to as a “lion mane” for how long and luxurious it is.
When combined, you get this adorable, soft little ball of fluff. Maltipoos are known for being easy to train and get along with, and they can be great family dogs. They’re also especially great for cuddles, since they fit nicely on your lap!
The Jack-A-Poo
Ah, the Jack-A-Poo, a cross between a Jack Russell Terrier and a Poodle. Both of these breeds are known for being very intelligent, which means that this dog will be super smart. Jack Russell’s are high energy, while Poodles are more low maintenance, so this guy will probably be pretty chill. Although, they still love to play!
This dog breed also requires a lot of attention, so don’t invest in a Jack-A-Poo if you don’t have the time to spare. They’re also known to be quite vocal, so keep that in mind!
The Bullboxer
Bullboxers are a cross between the Pitbull Terrier and the Boxer. Both dogs were originally bred as fighting dogs, but they’re also super sweet and loyal. Bullboxers, like any other bully dog, can often be stubborn in nature. They love their families whole-heartedly, and they’re incredibly faithful to their owners. They’ve got fair amounts of energy and they need plenty of time to play, but they can also be very laid-back, if given the opportunity.
They do best in homes with large backyards or other big areas where they can roam. Like any dog, they need proper training to ensure they know the rules of their household, but they can make wonderful family pets.
The Chow Shepherd
The German Chow is the glorious mix of the family-favorite German Shepherd and the super cute Chow Chow. This breed, which is also known as the “Chow Shepherd,” is known for being intelligent…and big. This dog is not for someone who’s never owned a large breed before, as it can be challenging for first-timers.
This guy is also going to have a lot of energy, so that means he needs a lot of exercise. This is a perfect breed for an active family and those who have large fenced-in yards or live on lots of acreage, where the dog can run around. These guys love to play and are avid fans of a good game of fetch with their owners.
The Czech Wolf Dog
This gorgeous breed is a mixture of the loving and loyal German Shepherd, and the toughness and fierceness of the Eurasian Wolf. The result is this long-haired, pointy-eared wolfy boy, that would make an amazing hunter and/or guard dog.
Considering the fact that these guys are literally bred for cool environments, they wouldn’t be happy living in warm areas. They’ve also been known to be a little bit too aggressive towards small animals, too, so they would do best with larger animals only. These guys need a lot of exercise due to their wild personality.
The Morkie
Morkies are a tiny little combination of the Yorkshire Terrier and the Maltese. The cross of those two small balls of fur results in this adorable little fluffy thing. Morkies are known to have very playful personalities, and often have a lot of energy. This breed gets attached to their owners, which can lead to separation anxiety if they have to be left home by themselves. They do best in environments where they will get the attention that they need.
Morkies are said to be intelligent, but hard-headed, when it comes to training them. Keep plenty of treats on hand to make sure your Morkie stays motivated. They make the perfect companions to snuggle with while you watch your favorite shows at night.
The Beagi
Beagis are a combination of a Beagle, and either a Pembroke, or a Welsh Corgi. These guys have short little legs, and often have silly personalities. They’re said to be incredibly smart and easy to train, although they also tend to be pretty stubborn. They’re great around people and usually have sweet dispositions. This makes them a great choice for anyone that has children.
Beagis, while they still need their exercise, make a good dog for those that live in smaller spaces. Since they are bred from hunting dogs, they do tend to chase smaller pets in the household. Beagis are also said to be generally healthy and live fairly long lives.
The Siborgi
The Siborgi, also sometimes referred to as the “Corgsky,” is a mix of a Siberian Husky and a Corgi. The Corgi shortens this breed a little bit, from its taller Husky side, and they’re typically medium in size. They can have beautiful markings, but they’re usually very fluffy and do best in cooler environments.
Siborgis typically have very even tempers and personalities, and they do great around children and other pets. This breed does need plenty of exercise, and they love to run around the dog park. Just make sure you get them socialized as a puppy so that being around other dogs isn’t a shock.
The Maltese Shih Tzu
They should really work on coming up with a more creative name for this breed, which is a mix of Maltese and Shih Tzu. Why hasn’t anyone started calling these guys Maltzus or something? This breed is known for being very gentle and kind-natured. Its loving personality makes it a wonderful dog for a family with children.
Maltzus love to play, and they need to get exercise like all other dog breeds. However, they’re fairly low energy and, since they’re small, they do better in smaller homes or apartments than their larger brethren. Plus, did we mention how freakin’ cute they are?
The Golden Rottie

The Pitsky
Pitskies are the incredible and adorable mix of pit bull terrier and husky. Huskies are fluffy good boys that hail from Siberia, and often worked as sled dogs. They can have beautiful markings and be either white and red or white and black in color. Pit bulls are stockier with less fur, and are known for being tough, as well as cute! The result of mixing these two breeds is pretty amazing. Meet: The Pitsky.
These guys are a great option if you live in a warmer climate but love huskies, since pure-bred Siberian sled dogs shouldn’t really live in Florida! This breed typically has a laid-back personality, and they make excellent companions for families.

The Hug
Who on Earth doesn’t want a doggo that’s literally called a “hug?” This good-looking guy is a cross of a Siberian Husky and a Pug.

They require a lot of attention, but they’re small enough that they can be taken almost anywhere. Chitoxys usually have a ton of energy and need their owners to give them plenty of playtime.
The Whoodle
How adorable is this long-haired good boy, who’s a mix of a Wheaten Terrier and a Poodle. He almost looks like a sheep-dog with his eye-covering curly strands.

Whoodles are known to be loyal and extremely sweet, which makes them both good guard dogs, and good family companions.

The Aussie Pom
This fluffy little masterpiece is an Aussie Pom, which is a cross between a Pomeranian and an Australian Shepherd. These guys often have a lot of energy and require a ton of attention. But that shouldn’t be hard considering how cute they are. Aussie Poms are very intelligent, and semi-easily trained. However, they tend to be very domineering and they aren’t great with other animals, especially smaller ones.
They have a big attitude and will rush head-on into danger because they think they’re bigger than they actually are. They make a great choice for a child-free family that has time and patience to devote to them.
The Cheagle

The Miniature English Bulldog
This adorable little wonder is a mix of the scrunchy face and sweet Pug, and the brawny, but still just as cute English Bulldog. Its combination of sweet and playful breeds make it an excellent choice for families with small children. These guys make great companions for people living in smaller homes, due to their short little legs – but that doesn’t mean they don’t need plenty of exercise still.
Mini English Bulldogs don’t have super high energy levels, so they’re cool with hanging out and watching Netflix marathons with their people.

The Miniature Boxer
Miniature Boxers that are recognized by the dog registry are a mixture of a Boston Terrier and a purebred Boxer.

The Sheepadoodle
This handsome little ball of floof is a cross between a Poodle and an Old English Sheepdog. Both of these breeds have incredible fur in their own right, hence this guy’s great coat.

The Chiweenie
Chiweenies, AKA Chiwees, are short, stubby little mixes of a Chihuahua and a Dachshund. They’re even sometimes referred to as “Mexican Hotdogs.” Chiweenies tend to be very playful, so they do need attention and exercise, but since they’re so small they also make great pets for those who may live in an apartment or more compact home.
One thing to member though is that these dogs tend to be pretty vocal breed, so expect a lot of barking from your little man – it just goes to show how much they love you, and they want to alert you to any potential threats to keep you safe! Chiweenies may be tiny, but they’ve got big personalities, and they won’t hesitate to square up with a Rottweiler, if they feel the need to. They’re loyal and loving and enjoy spending most of their time by their people’s sides!

Since they’re not too large, they make a good choice for dog lovers who live in condos or apartments. However, they still need to get plenty of exercise, so they will need some playtime in addition to their walks every day. It is recommended to begin socialization training at a young age for the Terripoo, as they can lean towards a dominant attitude with other animals, if you don’t. Since they’ve got terrier in them, they’re naturally a bit stubborn and they will do best with an experienced and patient owner.
The Cavachon
Cavachon’s are the offspring of the Bichon Frise and the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel – both of which are little, resulting in its small size. Unlike many designer breeds, both the personality and the appearance of a Cavachon can vary from animal to animal. But for the most part, they tend to be loyal, playful and loving.
They also have hypoallergenic fur, making them the perfect choice for those with allergies. Plus, this doggo can make a great companion for seniors, families, and anyone living in a smaller sized home. The Cavachon is also said to be intelligent and easy to train. They are also pretty laid back and are usually satisfied with a 30-minute walk every day, as far as their exercise is concerned.
The Bowzer
This sweet little fur baby is a Bowzer, which is a cross between a Miniature Schnauzer and Basset Hound. The breed is known for being extremely loyal, smart and protective of their humans. They make great hunting, guard and tracking dogs, and will do well as a working dog if you train them for a particular task. The Bowzer is pretty active and requires a fair amount of exercise every day. They can also tend towards obesity if you don’t keep an eye on their diet and playtime.
Bowzer’s aren’t very vocal and will usually only bark to alert you if they think something’s wrong. Because of their medium to large size and their activity levels, it’s best for these dogs to live in a home where they will have a lot of space to run around, or at least be with an active owner who will make sure they get to go run around at the park every day!
The Pugapoo
The Pugapoo is a loving little hybrid doggo that was bred from a Poodle and a Pug. They’re known to have laid-back personalities and be both smart and adaptable. Pugapoos are typically great with small children and other animals. They can be vocal, and they will certainly let you know if there’s an intruder in the house. Although, after barking, there may not be much the 10-25-pound little guy can do for you under those circumstances!
They can adjust to living in either an apartment or a home where they have a large yard, but in either case, they do need at least 30 minutes of exercise every day. A simple half an hour stroll around the neighborhood or park will suffice. The Pugapoos coat can vary in length and color, but they don’t usually shed a lot compared to some other breeds.
The Puggle
Puggles are an adorable combination of the Pug and the Beagle that were first bred in the early 90’s. They’re pretty popular, due to the fact they are both sweet and intelligent. These guys are known for being extra playful and getting along with everyone, which makes them a perfect choice for families with children and other pets.
Although they are a smart breed, they can also be stubborn when it comes to training, so it’s best to start as early as possible. Puggles are very active dogs that need plenty of playtime and exercise, so they would be a great pet for an active family that could bring them along on adventures! If you have to leave them alone at the house during the day, make sure you leave them with plenty of toys to keep them occupied.
The Peekapoo
A Peekapoo is a cross between a Pekingese and a Poodle – and they are just way too cute. These little guys are commonly known as “teddy bear dogs,” because of their small stature and fluffy faces. They’re pretty laid-back, but they also love to play and go for walks, so they’d make the perfect companion for someone who can give them the attention they deserve.
They’re very loving and loyal, but they don’t react very well to being aggressively handled and may not be the greatest choice for a family with small children. Peekapoos are super smart and easy to train, and they tend to be fast when learning new tricks. Because of this, they’re a good choice for those who don’t have much experience with dogs (as long as you keep the above in mind!)
The Puggit
The Puggit was bred with a Pug and an Italian Greyhound. And because they are descended from race dogs – they do love to run. They tend to do best with active owners that will take them to the park every day or living in a home that has a large yard, or enough space for them to run around.

This adorable ball of floof is an Alusky; a mix between a Siberian Husky and an Alaskan Malamute. Alusky’s thick fur is perfect for those who live in areas where it never gets hot, but they can be very uncomfortable in warm weather. This means that they’re probably not the best choice for anyone living in Florida or Arizona. They’re very active pets and tend to need a lot of playtime and exercise.
These guys need to be in a home with lots of space, and don’t tend to do well in condos or apartments, unless you’re going to have them out on adventures with you most of the time, anyways! Alusky’s are medium to large in size, and they’ve got a loving and calm personality. They do great around children, and as long as they’re socialized from a young age, they do well with other animals, too.
The Lhasapoo
The Lhasapoo is a cuddly, small and playful breed, mixed using a Poodle and a Lhasa Apso. They make wonderful family dogs and are great around other animals and children. Lhasapoos are gentle, but fiercely loyal and protective of their people. Sure, they may not make the best guard dogs, but they will absolutely alert you if they think there’s something wrong.
This breed can adapt well to living in apartments, and although they love to play, they don’t need a ton of exercise every day, as long as they get their daily walks and the occasional trip to the park! But when you are at home, you can bet that your little Lhasapoo will be right there with you, most likely perched on your lap.
The Chorkie
Chorkies are wiggly little doggos that were bred from a Chihuahua and Yorkshire Terrier. These guys only get to be around 10 pounds maximum, which puts them in the toy-sized category. The Chorkie is loyal and loving, and a very vocal little guy.
He is super adorable but can also be considered a “yippy” dog. Because of their size, they can do very well in condos and apartments, although they do have fairly high energy levels. The Chorkie needs plenty of playtime and does great in families with children. Due to its parent breeds, it’s also an intelligent pet and picks up on training easily.
The Pomapoo
The Pomapoo is a sweet, often shy cross between a Pomeranian and a Poodle. Pomapoos love to play, but they’re also content laying on the couch with you after a hard day at work. Their Pomeranian side gifts them with their gentle personality, while the Poodle in them lends to their high levels of intelligence.
They are said to be great dogs for seniors, but they don’t do too well around young children who may be a little rough with them. Pomapoos are also known as a “teddy bear dog,” and are fiercely loyal to their people. This breed has actually been around for quite some time but has gained more popularity over the past couple of decades.
The Poochin
Poochins, also known as Chinpoos, Doodlechins, and Chindoodles, are an adorable mix of a Poodle and a Japanese Chin. These dogs are known to be very laid-back and easy to train, which makes them a great family pet or a good choice for retirees.
They often have wonderful personalities but should be introduced to other animals from a young age. Poochins can also tend towards a dominant behavior if you don’t train them properly and clearly establish yourself as the boss from the start. These little guys only grow to an average of about 5-12 pounds, but they can have a very mighty attitude!
The Boskimo
The Boskimo is a hybrid cross between an American Eskimo dog and a Boston Terrier. Although the latter have shorter, sleeker coats, Boskimos tend to inherit a fluffier fur from their Eskimo relatives and do require a good bit of grooming. These guys need to be around their owners a lot and often suffer from separation anxiety. Because of this, they wouldn’t be the best pet for someone who works long hours away from home.
If that sounds like you and you’re still interested in a Boskimo, they may be okay at the house alone as long as you begin crate training from a very young age. These good boys are known for being highly intelligent and very playful.
The Masti-Bull
Masti-Bulls are a cross between the Mastiff and the American Bulldog – meaning they get pretty big, usually growing to a weight of between 100-130 pounds. He needs a lot of exercise and room to run around, and will do best in a home that has a large, yard that’s fenced in. But even though these guys love to play, they also enjoy their down time and will love to cuddle up with you on the couch.
Because they are so large, coupled with their often-stubborn attitudes, this breed works best for experienced dog owners that have the patience and understanding for training them properly. Don’t let his big size fool you in to thinking he won’t be a great family dog, because these lovable doggos are good around kids!
The Raggle
The Raggle is a hybrid dog that was bred with the Beagle and Rat Terrier. Since both of their parent breeds are small, Raggles are typically small and weigh around 5-15 pounds. These little guys have high energy levels and love to play, so they’re best suited for an active owner that can give them the attention they need. Raggles are also highly intelligent and make great hunting dogs.
They may be small, but they’re powerful dogs for their size. This breed needs to be socialized with other animals from a young age as they can tend to be aggressive towards them, especially those of the same sex.
The Pekachon
Pekachons are small, curly-haired designer doggos that are a cross between the Bichon Frise and the Pekingese. They’re very smart and learn quickly, which makes them easier to train than some other breeds. They may be tiny, but they have big personalities and are very affectionate and loyal to their human family members.
Pekachons typically weigh between 5-20 pounds and make great pets for those who live in smaller homes. They have a moderate energy level and are usually content strolling through the park or hanging out at home, as long as they have at least 30 minutes of walking time each day.
The Bossi-Poo
This adorable little guy is a mix between a Poodle and a Boston Terrier. Bossi-Poos are considered medium size and have a silky hypoallergenic coat, which makes them excellent pets for those who may suffer from dander allergies but still want a dog.
Since both parent breeds are intelligent, these guys are super smart and pick up on their training very easily. They’re also highly affectionate and love being by their person’s side. Bossi-Poos can tend to be pretty stubborn, so it’s important to begin training as early as possible with this breed. This breed is also known for its good health.
The Valley Bulldog
This bully boy is a hybrid breed that is the result of mixing the Bulldog with the Boxer. This breed gets their name from their location of origin in the Annapolis Valley, in Nova Scotia, Canada. Since they stem from two bully breeds, they tend to be very stubborn, so obedience training from an early age is a must.
They are also best suited for experienced dog owners, and those who will be able to give them plenty of activity time. These guys are very athletic and love to run, so they would flourish in homes with large yards, or with families who will take them to the park every day. The first known sighting of this breed dates all the way back to the early 1900’s, although it has been speculated that they may have actually existed long before then.
The Mountain Mastiff
Mountain Mastiffs, or Bernese Mountain Mastiffs, are a cross between the Mastiff and the Bernese Mountain Dog. These doggos get very, very big and typically weigh between 150-200 pounds when they’re full-grown. Mountain Mastiffs are known as gentle giants, for there incredible size and affectionate, calm nature.
These big boys make excellent guard dogs and can also be trained successfully for tracking. They love to play, but more than anything, they love spending time with their humans. The Mountain Mastiff makes a great family dog, but they need to be in a home where they have plenty of space, considering how enormous they are!
The Bea-Tzu
This cute little ball of fuzz was bred with a Beagle and a Shih Tzu. Because of their super small size, they make great pets for those that live in apartments and other smaller homes. They’re sweet and calm-natured, which means they’re a top choice for families with children and other animals.
Although they’re very sweet, they can also be stubborn and they’re best left for experienced dog owners to take care of. Bea-Tzus are loving, loyal and playful, and they need loads of attention and love from their people. Unfortunately, these little guys have a slightly shorter lifespan than some other dog breeds and typically only live to be between 10-12 years old.
The Saint Dane
The Saint Dane, also known as the Bernadane or the Great Bernard, is a hybrid dog that was bred with a Great Dane and a Saint Bernard. These gentle giants make terrific family guard dogs, and they are some of the calmest and most loving animals in existence. However, they are very big (150-200 pounds) and they need a lot of space, so keep that in mind before you decide on one of these big guys!
Saint Danes are highly intelligent and easy to train, and they love to please their people. Despite their enormous stature, they can actually be quite shy and sensitive and don’t do well with yelling or high stress environments. Although, no dog should be kept in a high stress environment, really.
The Jarkie
Jarkies are small little balls of energy that were created from a Japanese Chin and a Yorkshire Terrier. Like most dogs, they really don’t fare well around small children, though they are great for families with older children who are well behaved and will respect them.
They’re small doggos and only grow to be around 8-10 pounds. Jarkies are great companions for seniors and for those living in apartments and small homes. Although they’re very playful, they’re also content just sitting on your lap and watching television. Of course, they do still need to get out every day, and they love taking trips to the park with their humans!
The Weshi
The Weshi stems from its parent breeds – the West Highland White Terrier and the Shih Tzu. Weshis are super sweet and loving, but they can also be very stubborn, and they aren’t the best choice for someone who has owned a dog before. They get along great with mostly everyone, as long as they’re socialized from a young age.
Weshis are highly intelligent, but because of their stubborn streak they aren’t always the easiest to train. But once they’ve become a part of the family, they will be your best friend and never want to leave your side. This is a very active breed that requires a lot of exercise – at least 45-60 minutes every day.
The Foxy Russel
Foxy Russels stem from the Jack Russell Terrier and the Toy Fox Terrier. They’re small little guys that only grow to be a maximum of about 20 pounds, but they’re packed full of energy. They do great with families and are good with children and most other animals.

But this little guy’s affectionate and entertaining personality make him worth the extra elbow grease! And, although they may be small, they’re loyal and vocal, which makes them good guard dogs.
The Porkie
Porkies are this adorable little cross between a Pomeranian and a Yorkshire Terrier. Porkies are super small and only usually weigh less than 15 pounds.

These dogs are pretty laid-back and have moderate energy levels, and they’re happy with a simple 30 walk every day and will be excited to come home and cuddle with you. Due to their small stature and fragility, you should keep an eye on them around any large dogs that you may have. Porkies need to have their coats brushed on a daily basis, as well.
The Ewoak
Ewoaks are a rare breed of hybrid dog that are a combination of a few different species, such as Shih Tzus, Bichons and Yorkshire Terriers – resulting in this adorable teddy bear doggo. They can come in a variety of tiny sizes including toy and teacup, and have fluffy, long hair that requires moderate grooming.
Ewoaks are said to be both playful and laid-back and make great travel companions because of the fact they are super easy to carry along with you! These guys are also great with children and were actually bred to accompany children with special needs because of their mild temperaments.
The Cairnoodle
Cairnoodles are a cross between a Poodle and a Cairn Terrier. They’re also referred to sometimes as Cairnpoos, Cairnpoodles and Poocans. These guys are loving and affectionate and love to stay by their owner’s side, but they’ve also got the stubbornness that comes along with most terriers. Because of this, it’s wise to start obedience training with them when they are puppies.
Cairnoodles are the ultimate cuddle buddies, even for those with allergies, thanks to their hypoallergenic coat. They tend to suffer from separation anxiety when their people leave them for too long, so they either need to be crate trained, or with someone who will be there most of the time. This breed is descended from two others who are highly intelligent, so they’re very smart and easy to train.
The Gerberian Shepsky
This gorgeous doggo is a mix between the German Shephard and the Siberian Husky. They’ve typically got long fur, which makes them best suited for those living in areas where it won’t get uncomfortably warm for them. They are extremely intelligent and make wonderful guard dogs for almost anyone. Gerberian Shepskys are laid-back, sweet animals with an even temperament that makes them a great choice for families.
Unfortunately, they can be prone to some health issues like their parent breeds, such as hip dysplasia and cataracts at a young age, and they generally only live to be around 12 years old. But because they’re happy and affectionate dogs, it will be an amazing 12 years for the family, for sure!
The Shelillon
A Shellion as a hybrid dog that was bred with a Shetland Sheepdog and a Papillon. They’re short, stubby, smart little guys who are said to be easy to train and very loyal to their owners.

Shellions are highly adaptable, and will thrive in a multitude of environments, including apartments or condos, or larger homes with huge, fenced-in yards. They are loving animals who get along with mostly everyone, although they may be a bit shy around strangers.
The English Mastweiler

These big boys usually grow up to be around 110-150 pounds as adults and have a short coat that doesn’t require too much maintenance.
They have very calm personalities and do well around children and other animals, although because they’re so large, they should be monitored around smaller animals, especially when they’re (huge) puppies. They are some of the sweetest doggos out there and they love to play. They do need a good bit of exercise and thrive most in homes with large yards, or with a family that can take them to the park for sufficient playtime every day.
The Bouvador
A Bouvador is a designer dog that was bred with a Labrador Retriever and a Bouvier des Flandres. These guys are a medium to large breed that generally grow to be an average of 60 pounds when they’re adults. They are highly intelligent and make great working dogs. In fact, they actually enjoy being given a job to do. Just make sure you start training them in whatever that job may be from a very young age.
They have moderate energy levels and enjoy curling up with you and lazing around at the end of a hard day at work. This breed does need plenty of space to move around, so they wouldn’t be the best choice for someone living in an apartment, or home without a yard.
The Jug
This adorable little guy is a cross between a Jack Russell Terrier and a Pug. They have high energy levels and are said to love to run, which means they need to be in a home with a large, fenced-in yard, or with someone who will take then to the dog park for an hour or so each day.

They’re a fairly large breed and typically grow to somewhere between 95-115 pounds. Swissneese’s have long, thick coats, due to their ancestors, so they’re best suited for living in mild-weathered areas, not somewhere where they’re going to get overheated. Their fuzzy fur also requires quite a bit of maintenance to keep them cool – and to keep them from creating another full dog via a fur pile on your couch!
The Daniff
This big boy is a cross between the Great Dane and the Mastiff – both of which are known for their incredible sizes and gentle personalities. Daniff’s are huge, typically between 130-210 pounds, but they’re calm and loving and make wonderful family pets. They will be fiercely loyal and protective of their humans, and they do well around both small children and animals.
Don’t let their size fool you, either, because the Daniff would actually make a great dog for a new dog owner, thanks to their willingness and ease of training, and their laid-back attitudes. They also don’t require an excessive amount of grooming, since they have short and sleek coats. These guys are pretty happy with hanging out around the house with you, but they also need an adequate amount of exercise every day to keep them happy (and in shape!)
The Cavestie
The Cavestie is a crossbreed of the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and the West Highland White Terrier. These are small dogs that only get to be a maximum of about 15 pounds when they’re adults. They’re little bundles of energy and they absolutely love to go for walks and adventures with their humans. But even though they’re big on playtime, they also have a calm energy and love to relax, cuddled up on your lap at the end of the day.
Cavesties are highly intelligent, but they do have the famous terrier stubborn side, so they need an experienced and patient owner that will work with them through their training and give them the time they need. Their loyal and loving personalities definitely make them worth the bit of extra work, though!

Both these breeds are known to be affectionate, alert, curious, energetic, friendly, and fiercely independent. Scottish Terrier may grow 10 cm / 3 inches shorter than Miniature Schnauzer. Both Scottish Terrier and Miniature Schnauzer are of the same weight. Not all of the designer hybrid dogs are purebred and may have other breeds in them without you being able to tell.

They have a muscular build with a thick coat of hair that will usually have a slight curl to it; they will be either black and white or brown and white.

The Dorkie is a hairy hound – a blend between a Yorkshire Terrier and a Dachshund. They may be a smaller breed, but they come with a big personality as is befitting their headstrong parents. As for the Dorkie's appearance, their Yorkie parentage is more obvious, with their coats often taking on the familiar black and tan. However, their comparatively longer back and shorter legs serve as a reminder that they also have Dachshund in them.
A well-socialized Dorkie makes for a charming canine companion. But, as a breed, they are prepared to stand up for themselves. If threatened or treated with a lack of respect, they may snarl or snap. For this reason, as with all dogs, Dorkies may not do well around small children, they can act unpredictably when taken by surprise and should be supervised around kids.

Both the Bernese and the Golden Retrievers are large breeds. As mentioned, it's almost impossible to know exactly how any mixed puppy will turn out. But we can gamble a guess based on their parents' characteristics.

Their ears will be floppy, and they may end up with a coat that could be either wavy or straight.
The Bernedoodle

There can be variations in their appearance, even within one litter. Mostly, they should be happy, friendly, and energetic animals that are very attentive to their family.

Their lifespan is usually 12 to 15 years, and they generally weigh between 20 and 35 pounds. When fully grown, this breed can grow up to 19 inches tall.

The Lab Pointer
Lab Pointers are also known as Pointerdors. They are relatively low maintenance dogs–but they're also a very hyperactive breed and require a large amount of time outdoors. They thrive when living with a family-based in rural areas with lots of space rather than being hemmed in by a small home.

Australian Shepherd Dalmatian Mix
The Australian Shepherd is very much a working dog, with intelligence and energy to match. While Dalmatians were originally bred for trotting decoratively alongside horse-drawn carriages, they are best known for their handsome spotted coat. They can make a good family pet and do well in homes with children. However, their intelligence and enthusiastic personality require an equally patient and diligent owner.
With strong herding and guarding instincts, together with the likely size and energy levels, it is best that this Dalmatian Aussie mix be supervised around small children and other household pets. As with all dogs, we recommend implementing early socialization and training methods. This can help reduce behavioral and temperament issues, ensuring the health and happiness for everyone involved!
The Cocker Jack
The Cocker Jack is a small to average-sized dog that is the result of crossing a Jack Russell Terrier and a Cocker Spaniel. This new breed is sociable and active, making an ideal blend of the two breeds. The daringness of the Jack Russell Terrier is tempered by the shy and softer Cocker Spaniel's characteristics.

Although speaking about activities, the Golden Cocker Retriever is an energetic breed that will require a high amount of exercise–this is not an apartment dog.
The Rhodesian Lab
As a mixed breed, the Rhodesian Ridgeback Lab does not have definite personality traits. Any purebred dog will have been bred to have predictable temperaments. Both Rhodesian Ridgebacks and Labrador were bred as guard dogs, so they have a protective temperament and very much want to protect their family.
With genetics playing a big part in their personality, their environment is also a huge factor. How they are raised and socialized affects how they will act when they grow up. Even the friendliest breed can be unfriendly if they are not well socialized and introduced to new people at a young age.
The Pomsky
For dog lovers who want to adopt a Siberian Husky but can't fit one in their small apartment, there's the Pomsky, a mix between the Siberian Husky and the Pomeranian.

They can be goofy, playful, and suited for a life in an apartment, the Pomsky love to be the center of attention, and with their adorable looks and whimsical antics, they often get all the adoration they want. Pomskiesget attached to one chosen family member, but they should get along with all individuals in the household.

The Bull-pug is similar in size and characteristics to another popular breed; the Puggle. The Bull Pug is a cross between the English Bulldog and the pug. If one ever happens to run into a Bull Pug, they might hear it referred to as a "Miniature Bulldog," seeing as these dogs resemble their Bulldog parent in every way save for size.
They usually have a well-pronounced, round head, broad set shoulders, medium muzzle, almond-shaped, black eyes, and a curly tail that is folded tightly over its hip. They have a certain 'cuteness factor' as the Bullpug tends to look like a Bulldog that has never stopped being a puppy.
The Bullmatian
Even though their black-and-white spots indicate otherwise, the Bullmatian is just as much Bulldog as it is Dalmatian. There's no need to be fooled by their tough-guy exteriors: They might look like a little intimidating, but these pups are about as sweet and silly as they come.
Bullmatians are ideal companion dogs. This designer dog is known to be loving and friendly and also does very well around children. However, they have a lot of energy and will need a high amount of regular exercise as well as a variety of play sessions. If you're a new dog owner, then you should know that Bullmatians have a reputation for stubbornness at times.
The Frug
Frugs are mixtures of French Bulldogs and pugs, but they usually don't end up with the serious health problems that plague the purebred breeds of their parents, one trait they do tend to inherit is the stubbornness of the Frenchie.
