35 Crossbreed Dogs That Will Make You Fall In Love With Mutts
284Kviews
With more than 300 existing dog breeds, you think that there would be a choice for every hound lover. From sighthounds and cattle dogs to companions and setters, the plethora of dog types is astonishing. But you know what's even more charming than the cutest, fluffiest Pomeranian? A big-hearted, fantastically colored mutt!
A crossbreed pooch might not enter official dog beauty pageants, but these dog breed mixes are not only charming but also healthier than their purebred counterparts. Buying a thoroughly bred dog guarantees the puppy's character, working qualities, and exceptional looks, but this kind of pedigree can also give some negative traits, such as various genetic disorders. Mixed breed dogs, in that sense, are much more resilient and show greater longevity.
Now, we do not advocate careless dog breeding, with the shelters overfilled, but these doggies are more than adorable! Scroll down below for our picks of the dainty best mixed breed dogs and be prepared for an urge to get your own mutt!

Mutts and crossbreeds are hardly the same thing. Designer dogs like these might be cute and, possibly more importantly, allow people to make up cheesy portmanteaus, but it's the poor mutts that are dying in the shelters. Mutts are great, and they need your love far more. Instead of paying a small fortune to the designer dog industry, visit your nearest shelter.
My little baby is a mutt & we cannot ask for a better dog. Love him.
I agree
I agree with you 1000%
i only rescue but even via rescues you can get great cross breeds, i got a pit-boxer-lab mix my sister has a lab-collie-chow mix, and they are both incredible companions.
Just because their breed cross is known, and it's only a cross of two breeds doesn't mean they're designer dogs. I know my Labrador x Border Collie's Mum (a BC), and I went through thousands of breed photos to find out what his dad was. His Mum might have had designs on his dad, but he wasn't bred intentionally. And he is the best dog in the world, so I'm grateful daily that they met
Indeed, my Cockapoo is well documented, but a designer dog she is not (Dad got loose at the wrong time and found Mom a couple lots over. . .)
In Sydney the shelters are full of dogs that are crossbreeds which are often unsuitable for a lot of dog owner's, especially families or people with little dog experience.The majority are staffy or amstaff crosses, most of which are advertised as requiring homes with no other pets as they are reactive with high prey drives. People have the right to prefer a dog with sociability and less baggage that these dogs unfortunately come with.
I agree with you, why develop new (designer) dog breeds, while the shelters are bursting with adorable and adoptable mutts??? In Germany, but also in Austria, Switzerland, the Netherlands and in Australia there are no kill shelters at all, but some pets spend years or their whole lives at the shelters, especially if they´re black dogs or cats... Unfortunately. I´d adopt a black cat anytime. #AdoptDontShop.
my mom got a dog when i was almost 2 and he was half germen shepherd and half chow she got him from a shelter he was gonna be put the day after my mom got him i was a baby i poked him in the eye he hit my hand with his snout and walked away like never do that again and that how my mom knew to get him im 11 and he died this year i miss him very much and can't wait to see him again <3 R.I.P
Very truth post!
A rose is a rose and there is zero guarantee that one cross between a (for instance) lab and poodle will give you that gorgeous labradoodle your friend has. Study genetics. A mutt is a mutt and a designer dog is a mutt being sold for big money.
No. Wrong. Mutts and crossbreeds are almost identical. If you found a cavalier poodle mix on the street, according to you its a mutt. But if you buy it from someone who want 1,000 dollars its a crossbreed? That's why you should go to a shelter, because you can get perfectly good crossbreeds there. Crossbreeds are mutts.
My first dog was a mutt named Digger(because that's what he did to the great chagrin of my parents.) Nobody knew what breeds. He was sooooo smart and loving. He used to follow me to junior high (I walked to school) and wait for me all day. He would find ways to get unleashed or get out of the house everyday, just to be at school. Fortunately, my art teacher took pity on us both and let him stay in the basement art studio while she taught her class. He would sit ever so quietly beside her desk and she made sure he had water, snacks, and whatever else he needed. Then, as soon as the bell rang at the end of the day he would bound up the steps to the outside and be waiting for me. I loved him so much.
Your dog was very intelligent! You must miss him.
nice
My Great Pyrenees/German Shepherd is a rescue however I was the one who got rescued not her!
