Designer Dogs

Starting tomorrow, I will be doing a section on Designer Dog Breeds, but first, I think will define designer dogs to you. A Designer Dog is essentially a mutt, but a mutt bred on purpose. Most Designer Dogs are poodle crosses because people that are allergic to dogs want the poodle's allergy tolerant coat, but another breeds looks or personality. Some of the most common Designer Dogs are Labradoodles (Labrador Retriever x Poodle), Golden Doodles (Golden Retriever x Poodle), Puggles (Pug x Beagle), and Chiweenies (Dachshund x Chihuahua). Remember: these dogs aren't actually breeds because they were bred by crossing two different breeds, however, the Labradoodle may become a breed soon as some people are breeding Labradoodles to Labradoodles and getting Labradoodles instead of random looking puppies, so we'll see.
