TOP 10 MOST ADORABLE DESIGNER DOG BREEDS

 

A designer dog is more than just an overpriced canine. These fancy dogs are well-loved by many people because they possess desirable attributes from two separate dog breeds. In this article we’re listing down our picks for the top 10 most adorable designer dog breeds. 

 

NUMBER 10: MALTIPOO

The Maltipoo is a popular cross between a Maltese and a Poodle. This dog is known for their affectionate and fun-loving nature. These charming qualities made this canine a famous name for many dog lovers. The Maltipoo can adjust to any home environment, whether you have a house or an apartment, or if you’re an elderly single or a family with kids. Maltipoos love to spend time with their humans and they’re also a great choice for first time owners. However, this dog craves human attention; so much that they suffer from separation anxiety when they’re left alone for too long. But if you’re a dog owner that can meet the Maltipoo’s needs, then you’ll earn yourself a loving companion who’s always down for cuddle time.

NUMBER 9: COCKAPOO

A tiny canine with the personality of a big goof-ball, the Cockapoo brought the designer dog name to the attention of many people. This canine is a combination of a Cocker Spaniel and a Poodle and the result is an intelligent dog that also happens to be people-oriented and easy to train. Furthermore, the Cockapoo barely sheds and they’re extremely affectionate that anybody would feel loved. In fact, they’ll love you so much that they’ll follow you to the bathroom or under the covers. Because of the Cockapoo’s easy size, they’re small enough to cuddle and big enough to do rough play with other dogs. This dog is the essence of happiness and if you happen to own one, chances are you’re always delighted when they’re near you.

 

 

NUMBER 8: PUGGLE

This adorable designer dog loves to be around people, especially kids. A cross between a pug and a beagle, this hybrid has retained the energy and speed of a beagle and the cuddliness and loving disposition of a pug. Because of their cute looks and affectionate personalities, this canine has grown popular over the years. Puggles are a ball of sunshine and you won’t see them sleeping around all day. This dog is very energetic and they’ll zoom around your house or backyard with any chance that they get. Because of this, the Puggle makes for a great walking or jogging partner. On average, this canine needs about 30 minutes of daily exercise. It’s also a good idea to direct this dog’s need for speed through agility training. Puggles are indeed intelligent, but they’re not eager to please their owners. Both their parents, the Pug and Beagle, aren’t known to be the most eager learners so this doesn’t come as a shock. When training a Puggle, use positive reinforcements with treats, praise, and play.

NUMBER 7: GOLDENDOODLE

The Goldendoodle is a cross between a golden retriever and a poodle. They are described to be extremely friendly, kind, intelligent, and loving. Because of their parent breed’s desirable attributes, the Goldendoodle is easy to train with tricks and commands and they also love human companionship. Because of this, they’re commonly used as therapy dogs. This hybrid is a great choice for neat freaks because they’ve retained the low-shedding qualities of a poodle. Like most hybrid breeds, the Goldendoodle is also hypoallergenic, which also makes them ideal for dog owners with allergies. This shaggy dog inherited the golden retriever’s temperament and ‘eager to please’ personality, which makes them easy to train. Goldendoodles are fairly energetic and they need a decent amount of space to run around. This means that they won’t like being stuck in small spaces like apartments or condos but would thrive in a home with a fenced yard. To stay entertained and fit, this dog needs about 30 minutes of daily exercise.

NUMBER 6: MAL-SHI

The Mal-shi is a cross between a Maltese and Shih Tzu. This small, allergy-friendly companion doesn’t shed much and they make for great lap dogs as well. They can easily adapt in apartments or large homes and beginner dog owners won’t have a hard time with this breed because they’re highly trainable and eager to please. This dog is intelligent and outgoing, thanks to its social nature. They’re great family pets and they love to be showered with affection and love from their human families. In addition to this, they’re also good with children of all ages and even with other family pets. It’s good to remember that you should treat the Mal-shi as a dog and not as a baby. Get them used to actually walking and don’t carry them everywhere because this causes them to act spoiled and misbehaved. Do this, and the Mal-shi will develop a desirable temperament for you and your household. 

NUMBER 5: GOLDADOR

Fun, affectionate, and devoted, the Goldador is loved for their good-natured disposition. As a cross between a Labrador Retriever and Golden Retriever, this hybrid inherited tons of wonderful traits from both parents. With the tolerance of a Labrador Retriever and the sensitivity of a Golden Retriever, the Goldador has become one of the most favorable dogs for any family. He gets along well with children and they love the attention that comes along with it. This dog’s intelligence and eagerness to please makes him easy to train, but only with the use of positive reinforcements. Because the Goldador thrives on human affection, they don’t do well on their own. All they want more than anything in the world is to be with their family. Like any dog, the Goldador needs to be socialized at an early age. Exposure to various sights, people, experiences, and sounds will help mold a well-rounded dog.

NUMBER 4: POMSKY

A notable designer dog, Pomskies are a new breed that’s slowly gaining popularity. Because of their regal and dashing looks, plenty of dog owners dream of having their own little Pomsky. Because they’re a cross between a Siberian Husky and a Pomeranian, the Pomsky looks like a miniature wolf or technically, a small Husky. Both parent breeds have tendencies to be loud, with Pomeranians having a knack for yipping and Huskies being talkative, the Pomsky is just as much of a sound machine. This hybrid is a vocal dog and they won’t do well in apartments with neighbors. Another trait of this canine is that they’re stubborn and willful. Despite their intelligence, they’re ironically hard to train. This is why an extra amount of patience is needed when raising this dog. Pomskies have a lot of energy to spare so you should remember to give them one hour of exercise per day in order for them to remain happy and in great shape. 

NUMBER 3: CHORKIE

The Chorkie is a cross between a Chihuahua and a Yorkshire Terrier. This canine is outgoing, playful, and devoted; the best traits that they got from their parent breeds. Chorkies are often comical and you’ll surely have a good time when they’re around. Other than this, they’re also great companions that love to be showered with attention. These dogs are loyal; in fact, they’re so loyal that they’ll show aggression with people that they don’t know. This puts a lot of importance on early socialization and training.  When walking your Chorkie in public spaces, make sure to keep them on a leash. Furthermore, with both parents being companion dogs, it’s easy to inherit tendencies of having separation anxiety and Chorkies are most miserable when they’re left alone. Having other pets in the household can help with this dilemma. Even though Chorkies are described as athletic dogs, they surprisingly don’t need much exercise. A short walk every day should suffice.

NUMBER 2: SCHNOODLE

The Schnoodle has become a well-known breed because of their endearing qualities. A cross between a Poodle and a Schnauzer, the Schnoodle is a crowd favorite because of their versatility. Ranging around 6-76 pounds, this designer dog can be a therapy dog, family dog, lap dog, or performance dog. The appeal of this dog is that they want to make their owners proud at all times and so, they’re easy to train. Lovable and playful, the Schnoodle is a dog that enjoys life with the people they love. Because they’re part Terriers, they do have their own stubborn streaks. Though independent in mind, they are fiercely loyal dogs. Sometimes, other dogs of this kind are more inclined to bond over one specific person. They’ll grow to love the family as a whole, but once in a while, they prefer to choose only one best friend. The Schnoodle is a very active dog and they should at least have a 30-60 minute exercise every day to remain fit and healthy.

NUMBER 1: CAVACHON

Charming, social, and fun-loving, the little Cavachon is a cross between a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and a Bichon Frise. This dog always craves to be held and cuddled and they’ll go out of their way to receive attention. They enjoy their time running around the house but they’ll also love owning their roles as lap dogs. Although they seem aloof around unfamiliar faces, they soon warm up to them. Cavachons are fairly intelligent and alert companions for young families as they are devoted, loyal, and eager to learn. With the lack of socialization as puppies, Cavachons can become extremely anxious around new people and environments. It’s essential to fulfill this need in order for this canine to be the best version of themselves. However, in a place where they feel comfortable, Cavachons can get along well with other pets, given that they are fairly trained. They are also gentle and playful to little children.
