8 Cutest Mixed Dog Breeds

There are many reasons why you want one of the cutest mixed dog breeds. For one, they tend to be more affordable than pure breeds. They also tend to have fewer medical issues and live longer. However, pure breeds often have an advantage in the looks department. They have a grace and a beauty that many mixed breeds do not. 

However, if you are looking for a mixed-breed dog, you don’t necessarily have to sacrifice on any of those aesthetic factors. Many crosses of gorgeous breeds are just as great-looking in their own right. Here are 8 of the cutest mixed dog breeds you should have on your radar as you pick your next pup. 

Labradoodle

As the name would suggest, this breed is a cross between the labrador retriever and the poodle. Because both of those kinds of dogs can be any size, so can their mixed breed. Whatever parent dog’s traits are predominant, they will be adorable either way. They are not just physically cute, but they tend to have playful and excited personalities to match. A labradoodle loves to play and get exercise. They are known for having long curly coats, so make sure you are prepared to brush and groom your labradoodle regularly. 

Porkie

The porkie is a tiny toy dog and does not look as the name would imply. This dog is a cross between a pomeranian and a Yorkshire terrier. They usually end up with Yorkshire’s multicolored coat and beard and the pomeranian’s stocky build. A porkie is a loyal dog that loves to play and spend time with family. The personality is best described as “spunky,” as a porkie will have an outsized personality. This dog is great for fitting inside a purse or doggie tote, so you can bring them around with you wherever you go. 

Border Aussie

The border collie and the Australian shepherd are beautiful dogs in their own right, which is why border aussies are so adorable. Unfortunately, this cross is known for having heterochromia. This means you can’t predict which traits a puppy will inherit from its parents. This mix has many possible outcomes, including eye colors, coat colors, and sizes. But, no matter what happens, you will have a dog that will turn heads while you are out on your walks. 

Cavapoo

The Cavapoo is a mix between the cavalier King Charles spaniel and the poodle. They are most often white or chestnut but can also have tricolored coats. They usually inherit the poodle’s curly coat. The cavapoo genetics also contribute to their low-shedding tendencies, making them a great choice for allergy sufferers. Beyond their physical traits, Cavapoos are known for their joyful personalities. They are always smiling, love spending time with their families, and will happily play and show off for hours. The best part is that they will get extremely excited when you come home after a long day. So, if you see Cavapoo puppies for sale, you know you are getting an adorable companion that will fill your days with fun and affection.

Chug

The chihuahua and the pug are both attention-loving dogs that will do anything to get it. They want to be on your mind at all times and can be hilarious as they try to show off and compete with everything and everyone else for your attention. They tend to end up with the chihuahua’s length, big eyes, and the pug’s wrinkly face and shorter snout. Both parent breeds love mischief, so you will have to prepare your home for that, but you will also laugh and cringe at the trouble they can get into. A chug is a master at getting away with things by batting his eyes or tilting his head, so you will have a hard time staying mad. 

Horgi

Horgis somehow pulls off the majestic look of huskies and the short stumpy look of a corgi. They usually inherit the goofiness and friendliness of the corgi as well. Huskies aren’t known for being as affectionate and loving as other breeds, but they are loyal and make great family members. Horgis is a cute balance of the athletic nature of huskies and the silliness of corgis. It’s an amazing combination. 

Swissneese

This dog is on the other side of the size spectrum compared to the others in this list. The Swissneese is a combination of the greater Swiss mountain dog and the great Pyrenees. Those are both big dog breeds that can get over 30 inches tall and 130 pounds. A Swissneese will be very loving and loyal, and it’s all packed into a big, furry frame. It’s also known as a gentle and protective mixed breed, so your kids can be safe around one, and they will not injure a dog that size if they are too rough. A Swissneese tends to have a duo or tri-colored coat and the long body of the Swiss mountain dog with the fluffiness of the Pyrenees. 

Pomsky

The pomsky is another husky mix, but this time it’s with a much smaller dog, the pomeranian. Because of the size difference, these two breeds cannot be combined through natural means, so it must be done through artificial insemination. The pomsky ends up being a medium-sized dog with a pomeranian’s sharp eyes and a husky’s facial shape. This is a perfect combination of an affectionate lap dog and an athletic worker. The result is a gorgeous and intelligent dog that can snuggle and play and comes with a stunning coat.
