Designer dog breeds 101: Mixed-breed dogs make terrific pets

Sometimes the best pets don’t come from the fanciest pure-bred bloodlines. The rising popularity of designer dog breeds (which are actually mixed-breed canines) may prove this point. Boutique dogs are all the rage these days, as cross breeds may be found all over.

Let’s define a few terms about mixed-breed dogs.

A cross-breed dog is any canine containing parentage from multiple breeds.

A hybrid dog results from the cross breeding of two purebred parent dogs. This term is not scientifically accurate, as all dogs may be considered hybrids, containing wolf ancestry. But the word “hybrid” is commonly used to refer to the first-generation mix of two pure breeds.

A mutt (or mongrel or tyke) is a dog with multiple-breed parentage, usually a dog with unknown breed ancestry or many different breeds in his or her genetic history.

A boutique (or designer) dog are mixed-breed canine that results from the intentional breeding of two pure-bred parents for the purpose of maximizing the most desirable genetic traits of both parents.

Mixed-breed dogs (of all categories outlined above) are generally not recognized for major dog breed shows, but may be eligible for agility, obedience, and other non-breed-related competitions.

Mixed-breed dogs are growing in popularity, for deliberate breeding and with increased public interest in adopting rescue or shelter dogs.

One important advantage of the hybrid or mixed-breed dog is the potential dilution of genetically-related conformation, health, and behavioral problems that may arise with repeated production of pure-bred canines.

Here are several of the most commonly found mixed-breed dogs. The list grows, as additional pure-bred pairings become popular. For brevity's sake, many size variations (such as Miniature, Standard, and Toy) have been omittws).
