19 Mixed Breed Dogs That Will Have You Ready To bring home Your Fur Baby
There are over 300 distinct sorts of mixed-breed dogs, so every person who enjoys having a fluffy friend should be able to find one that suits their preferences.
These puppies defy description and are available in a wide variety of shapes, sizes, colours, and patterns; thus, you may locate them at any shelter or rescue organisation.
When one lovely breed marries another adorable breed, you end up with one mixed-breed dog that is pretty darn cute.
Believe us, we know that not all mixed-breed dogs look like they’ve been through a war. It’s a scientific fact!
One might make the case that purebred dogs are at the top of the food chain.
The fact that features of a mixed-breed dog are derived from a bigger gene pool means that the advantages of owning a mixed-breed dog are actually rather many.
Because of this, the adopter will be able to concentrate less on the mixed-breed dog’s breed and more on the dog’s personality.
In addition to this, who wouldn’t want to take in a one-of-a-kind mutt puppy that would be the talk of the dog park?
Crossbreeds are dogs created by crossbreeding two or more different purebred dog breeds.
While the term crossbreed was once considered derogatory, more and more people are using crossbreeds in their households, particularly as family pets. Below are six great crossbreeds that make good family dogs.
There are many breeds of dogs, but not all breeds are right for families. While the Labrador Retriever might be the most popular dog breed in the U.S., this type of dog does not typically work well with children and families because it can be skittish around people and jumpy when startled by loud noises or sudden movements.
That’s why you should consider crossbreeds as an alternative to purebreds if you’re looking for a dog that can fit into your family life without too much trouble.
Standard Poodle Mixes
Poodles are one of, if not, the most popular dogs for families.
They’re easy to train and get along with children and other animals.
If you want to know what some of those poodle mixes are or how to pick a Poodle mix that’s right for your family, read on. We’ll tell you all about some of our favourite crossbreeds and hopefully help you find your own perfect pet.

Golden Retriever Mixes
Mixing one breed with another can create wonderful new breeds.
Mix a Golden Retriever with a Poodle, and you’ll have yourself a Goldendoodle, for example. Both Goldendoodles and Labradoodles are perfect family dogs due to their gentle, affectionate natures.
While they’re very good with children and other animals, it is important to note that they need to be professionally trained in obedience before bringing them home so you can properly maintain control of your pup.

German Shepherd Mixes
German shepherds are known for their agility, strength and smarts. However, these characteristics also translate to needs a lot of exercise and capable of killing me if I don’t train him properly.
Because these traits can be both challenging and dangerous, most families aren’t willing to adopt a German shepherd, even if they know it would be good with kids. But fear not!
There are a few crossbreeds that bring all of those amazing qualities without most of those undesirable characteristics. A few favorite crossbreeds include
Rottweiler Mixes
As with any dog, a Rottweiler mix is going to be a great choice for a family if it’s been trained properly.
The American Kennel Club gives Rottweilers an average rating on intelligence.
This means they can learn, but training them is more difficult than with other dogs because they do not respond to rewards and can be quite stubborn.
However, a well-trained Rottweiler makes for a very affectionate and loyal companion – one that most people find suitable for their families.

Husky Mixes
Huskies are energetic, playful, and affectionate. Husky mixes are no different.
Many of these crossbreeds are bigger than Huskies themselves, making them great dogs for larger families who love to get out and explore.
If you have kids to consider as well, be sure to check out our list of family-friendly dog breeds (you’ll see Huskies on there too).
These large crossbreeds make excellent companions for active families or even those living in colder climates where a thick coat is needed.
Plus, many of these breeds share similar traits that Huskies do—so if you’re familiar with how stubborn and friendly huskies can be (in a good way), you’ll know what to expect from your new pup!
Bulldog Mixes
Bulldogs were once used to fight in underground dog fights.
Bulldog crossbreeds are good family dogs because they are very friendly and protective. However, you may need to work with them on basic obedience training as they tend to be stubborn at times.
Your dog may need consistent socialization and early puppy training, especially if he has a tendency toward aggression or anxiety issues (which is common in some bulldog mixes).
Bulldogs can live between 6 and 10 years if properly cared for.
Some of their health problems include hip dysplasia, cataracts, cancer, heart problems and allergies.
Morkie
Sounds like an extraterrestrial name, right?
That is without a doubt the cutest little extraterrestrial that any of us have ever laid eyes on!
Morkies, which are the offspring of a hybrid between a Maltese and a Yorkshire Terrier, appear to have acquired the best characteristics of both of their parents, including being little, active, and extremely goofy.
Beware, snoozers, since this dog is a mix of breeds and has a tendency to bark.
LabraDoodle
A Labrador and a Toy or Miniature Poodle are the parent breeds of a Labradoodle, which is considered to be one of the fluffiest mixed-breed dogs.
When I think about these fifty to sixty pound teddy bears, I think of them as being playful and lively.
Steer wary of this individual if you’re searching for a sluggardly, unadventurous couch potato. Labradoodles have the ability to calmly relax at their owners’ feet, yet at the drop of a hat, they are always ready to play a game of fetch.
Shorkie
The Shorkie, which is a hybrid of a Shih Tzu and a Yorkshire Terrier, is another another breed that does well in small apartments.
They are little in stature, but make up for it with their big personalities. Shorkies are known for their high level of upkeep and their annoying yapping, yet their faces are so cute that it’s impossible to be mad with them.
This can be the perfect puppy for you if you’re seeking for a canine companion that is incredibly devoted despite its little size.
Cavachon
The Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and the Bichon Frise are the parent breeds of the hybrid dog known as the Cavachon.
This petite and attentive puppy enjoys getting its exercise, but won’t hesitate to snuggle up on your lap when nap time rolls around.
To top it all off, Cavachons don’t care if they live in a house or an apartment; they’re perfectly happy in any setting.
Boxerdoodle
You should know by now that the possible combinations of Poodles are virtually limitless. Imagine a Boxer with a lot more fur when you try to picture a Boxerdoodle.
The curly coat of the Poodle gives this puppy its distinctive appearance: slim and muscular with hair that is curly or wavy.
This mixed-breed dog is difficult to categorise in terms of size and colour; they can be virtually any colour, and they can be anywhere on the size spectrum from toy to giant.
