Purebred Dogs, Mixed Breed Dogs And Hybrid Dogs
People have long had a love affair with mixed breed dogs or “mutts”. These dogs tend to differ quite a lot in size, looks and personality, even when they come from the same set of offspring. Mutts more often than not have very excellent healthiness and they make great pets.
A mutt is a dog that is a result of an unknown pedigree. They are not of one specific breed and it is usually unknown if there parents are of purebred status. Mutts have an unknown ancestry and a questionable hereditary line.
A purebred has two parents of the same breed. Usually there are extended genetic records that go back many generations. Breeders cautiously select the dogs they will breed so as to ensure that the strongest qualities are characteristic in the pups.
You may prefer a purebred for a pet or you may favor a mutt. A mutt will usually have resilient health and they do make fantastic pets but a purebred has special qualities that are bred in. There also is another selection that you may consider and that is the hybrid dog or the “designer dog”.
A hybrid or designer dog is a dog that has two purebred parents from two diverse breeds. They are distinct from a mutt in that their family tree is well-known. The parents of the dog have a distinctive inherited line that can be confirmed.
Hybrid dogs are becoming quite the thing these days. You see them the world over from movies to dog shows. These dogs tend to have the best personality from both of the breeds and generally a good blend of both breeds.
The hybrid dogs are usually called really unusual names that are a mix of both breed names such as a puggle, a combination of a pug and beagle, a poogle for a poodle and pug, cockapoo for a cocker poodle mix, a goldendoodle which is a poodle and golden retriever mixture and of course many others as the inventory of combinations goes on and on.
The designer hybrid dogs make excellent pets and you usually end up with the best of two breeds. They tend to have resilient health and they are clever and agreeable to possess.
