‘Hybrid dogs’ are also known as designer breeds of dogs. These dogs are the result of a program of controlled breeding between different breeds of purebred dogs. Technically, they can also be called “mixed-breed dogs”, and they are not the same as the average mixed breed dogs or mutt. These dogs come from a well-developed scheme of breeding to get the desired effect on the offspring.
It was in the 20th century when hybrid dogs became even more popular despite being around for a long period of time. The breeders of these dogs aim to have offspring with the positive traits of two different dog breeds. Some popular hybrids are the crosses of poodle and labrador retriever, and golden retriever mixed with a poodle.
These hybrid dogs often end up in the shelters if they would fail to reach the standards set of the expected outcome of the breeder.
