For many years, purebred dogs have proved to be very popular. But things appear to be changing in the canine world. Crossbreeds are almost becoming more popular! They make great family pets and have awesome personalities. Indeed, by merging two temperaments and physical characteristics of each parent breed, you will get fascinating results.
However, it is very important to keep in mind that it will be difficult to predict the crossbreed's temperament and physical appearance as it is never certain which traits it will get from each parent.
What are the advantages of getting a crossbreed dog?
These delightful and lovable pups will steal your heart. Most of them have very loving, calm natures that fit easily into family environments. Likewise, because they have purebred parents, albeit, from different dog breeds, designer dogs are less likely to inherit a genetic disorder. Also, many mixed breeds are hypoallergenic. This is in fact the reason why the Labradoodle was created.
What are crossbreed dogs called?
With their endearing names, it’s difficult not to fall head over heels for these bundles of cuteness. Take a Poodle and a Corgi and the crossbreed is a Corgipoo. A Poodle and a Schnauzer result in a Schnoodle. Or how about a Cockador – a dog crossbreed between a Labrador and a Cocker Spaniel. These dogs are certainly as enchanting as their names. The most popular crossbreeds are also known as "designer dogs", because they were designed for a very specific purpose!
