Varieties of Pekingese - dwarf, royal, mini

Crossing the Pekingese with various dogs is a problem that deserves special attention, since we are talking about the oldest breed, dating back at least 2000 years of existence.

If we talk about a cross between the Pekingese and other breeds, it means a responsible and correct attitude towards animals, which does not allow the mating of non-purebred representatives of the breeds, as well as dogs with very different standard sizes, especially if the female is much smaller than the male. Childbirth can destroy the expectant mother.

Crossing dogs with related conformations (for example, Pekingese + Pug, Pekingese + Shih Tzu), on the contrary, gives interesting results. The main question facing breeders is how to obtain offspring with the desired characteristics. This applies not only to the appearance, but also to the mental health of animals. Unfortunately, a successfully bred litter does not guarantee a positive result in future generations.

However, currently in the field of dog breeding there is an “interesting” trend - the crossing of genetically heterogeneous dogs in order to obtain mixed breeds. Experiments of this kind have come to be called “designer dog breeding,” and the result of such actions is proudly called a “designer dog.” Let’s make a reservation right away: we are not talking about breeding a new breed, which has a strict scientific basis, but getting animals that do not belong to any breed.

What kind of cross between a Pekingese and a mongrel will you get?

Waiting for an answer.
Thanks for understanding. sad result of mating 2 mixed breeds. picture to the topic https://vk.com/topic-2144949_27419674

Anna, well, if a person loves mongrels, then there is no sadness. but if he still wants to have a Pekingese, then it’s pure sadness

I like it 37 minutes ago Anna

Olga, well, if only in this sense, then yes. I thought that there were problems in development, i.e. ugliness. I have seen a lot of these from the “kennel”, not only this breed. But when the dogs are very small, many people perceive it differently, but when they are large, like a Labrador, the look is terrible, it’s immediately obvious.

Character and temperament

According to the observations of dog handlers and owners, Pekingese dogs have the following “breed” character traits:

• Attachment . These dogs quickly get used to their family members and have difficulty withstanding even short-term separation.
• Mind . Pekingese quickly understand how and who can be manipulated, which they use to beg for desired treats and affection. To direct their intellectual abilities in a positive direction, you will have to make a lot of effort.
• Waywardness . Pekingese will only obey a command if they see an immediate benefit in doing so. It’s quite difficult to get used to prohibitions.
• Touchiness . The Pekingese shows with all his appearance that you can’t raise your voice at him and feed him something he doesn’t like. However, it goes away very quickly.
• Selfishness . The Pekingese believes that all attention should be paid to him. Be prepared for the dog to start competing with other pets and even children.
• Passivity . Pekingese are active only when they are puppies. With age, the dog becomes more and more phlegmatic and prefers to while away the time lying on the bedding or the owner's lap.
• Security qualities . The Pekingese does not tolerate when a stranger encroaches on its territory, and always expresses its displeasure with a loud, ringing bark and growl. If the “stranger” seems dangerous or too aggressive to him, he may attack and bite.

Pekingese, despite their miniature size and passivity, are not a priori an ideal pet for an apartment.

They are very “talkative” and constantly make some sounds: whine, grunt, snore, grumble, growl . Keep this in mind if silence in your home is important to you.

Pekingese crossbreeds

Crossing the Pekingese with various dogs is a problem that deserves special attention, since we are talking about the oldest breed, dating back at least 2000 years of existence.

Crossing dogs with related conformations (for example, Pekingese + Pug, Pekingese + Shih Tzu), on the contrary, gives interesting results.

To size

1. Standard or Royal Pekingese. He has a stocky build, strong bones and well-developed muscles. Weight does not exceed 5-5.4 kg, height up to 25 cm.
2. Dwarf. This variety of Pekingese dog is not official. The weight of an adult dog does not exceed 3.18 kg, height is about 15 cm. The general characteristics of dwarf and standard dogs do not differ. The dwarf variety is a mini-copy of the standard Pekingese; such dogs are not allowed for exhibitions and do not participate in breeding.

Dwarf or sleeve Pekingese have a genetic predisposition to diseases of the eyes, spine and respiratory system.

Which type of Pekingese do you like best?

Why is this necessary?

Mixing different breeds has both positive and negative results.

The positive points include:

To obtain this effect, you must adhere to two basic rules:

The negative aspects are a continuation of the positive ones...

The litter may turn out to be unsightly, combining the most incompatible elements of the parents’ exterior.

And yet, the cute cuties of the mixed Pekingese are increasingly in demand among dog lovers.

One has only to look at the sweet faces of a cross between a Pekingese and a lapdog , a mixture of a Shih Tzu and a Pekingese , and you will immediately want to become their owner. The coat of Pekingese crossbreeds , depending on the dominant gene, can be different in length, color and hair structure. And the Pekingese, with a long muzzle and elongated nose, has no problems with breathing, so the most negative trait is absent - he does not snore in his sleep.

Education

This dog breed is a real pleasure to train as they are a very intelligent breed. Positive reinforcement training methods work best as these dogs are very sensitive and do not respond well to harsh reprimands.

Crate training is recommended for potty training and keeping your pup out of trouble.

Socialization with a wide variety of people, dogs, and other animals is extremely important for Peekapoo puppies.

Care

The Pikapu's coat is soft, wavy, and medium to long. These dogs have no undercoat and have low or non-shedding ability. Because of this, they will require regular care to stay healthy.

Regular brushing is the minimum grooming requirement to keep the coat mat-free. They can be cut if you don't want to have the hassle of caring for long hair. However, they will still require bathing and brushing.

Some Peekapoos have folds around the eyes, ears and muzzles inherited from their Pekingese parents. These wrinkles will require some care to keep dirt away from them.

Mixed Chihuahuas - a mixture of Chihuahuas with different breeds, what they look like, behavior and character traits

When two different breeds of dogs are crossed, mixed breeds are created. Recently, they have become very popular, since as a result of mixing blood, individuals are born that have not only an original appearance, but also new, attractive character traits.

This also applies to the wide variety of Chihuahua mixes. In order not to be deceived in your expectations, it is worth getting acquainted with the main types of hybrids and finding out the main features of their appearance and character.

Main types of colors

The following types of colors for Pekingese are recognized as standard::

• Ginger . Varies from red to golden shades.
• Fawn . From milky to nutty. The muzzle is outlined with a black mask.
• Black . Looks very attractive. Most often used at exhibitions.
• Black and Tan . Tan markings are superimposed on a black background. Dogs of this color come with or without masks.
• Black and white . Individuals with this color are distinguished by shorter fur.
• White . Pekingese is the only dog ​​breed in which full albinos are likely to appear. Albinism is a disqualifying feature, but is highly valued among lovers of “exotics.”

With any of the above colors, a small white spot on the forehead is acceptable . In ancient China, it was believed that such a mark made the dog a lucky talisman for its owner and called it “the kiss of Buddha.”

Colors such as grey, brown (liver), red, light fawn and spotted are also possible . However, such individuals are not allowed for further breeding and exhibitions.

Popular types of Chihuahua mixes

Among the variety of Chihuahua mixes, there are several that any dog ​​owner interested in them should be aware of. Each of the hybrids has a name, depending on who the Chihuahua is crossed with:

Chugs get along well with children and other animals and are distinguished by their devotion to their owner.

A cross between a Chihuahua and a mongrel is usually obtained by accident, after spontaneous mating with stray animals. Often the result is unpredictable, the exterior depends on what the yard dog looks like. In most cases, the hybrid's character is independent and self-sufficient. Even with a delicate appearance, her health is good and her immunity is high. They can become reliable protection and security for the whole family.

Hybrids get along well with children and never show aggression. The Chipin's ears are pointed and erect, its legs are thin, and its coat is short.

How to choose?

Before choosing a puppy, decide for what purpose you want to get a dog. For exhibitions, cables are best suited, for home and breeding - females.

At the first meeting with you, judiciously, and first of all, examine the external condition of the dog.:

• Eyes: shiny and clear. No tearing or litter. The look is meaningful, interested.
• Nose and ears: no discharge or scratching.
• Paws: strong, no lameness.
• Stool: hard, without traces of blood. There should be no traces of loose stool under the tail.
• Puppies' behavior: puppies actively take part in general play. Show interest when demonstrating toys.
• Behavior of a nursing bitch: the female behaves warily towards the guest, but does not show unnecessary aggression.

Two-month-old puppies can be taken for home keeping . For participation in exhibitions - babies who have reached 6 weeks.

Be sure to pay attention to the conditions in which the nursing mother and puppies are kept . If breeders refuse to show you the entire litter, citing quarantine, then you shouldn’t trust them.

It is likely that the litter contains puppies with severe culling or infectious diseases.

Why is this necessary?

Mixing different breeds has both positive and negative results.

The positive points include:

To obtain this effect, you must adhere to two basic rules:

The negative aspects are a continuation of the positive ones...

The litter may turn out to be unsightly, combining the most incompatible elements of the parents’ exterior.

And yet, the cute cuties of the mixed Pekingese are increasingly in demand among dog lovers.

One has only to look at the sweet faces of a cross between a Pekingese and a lapdog , a mixture of a Shih Tzu and a Pekingese , and you will immediately want to become their owner. The coat of Pekingese crossbreeds , depending on the dominant gene, can be different in length, color and hair structure. And the Pekingese, with a long muzzle and elongated nose, has no problems with breathing, so the most negative trait is absent - he does not snore in his sleep.

Mongrel cross

If we talk about purebred dogs, then everyone knows that they have certain characteristics (breed standards). This includes color, conformation, size, proportions, etc. Thanks to this information, any owner of a purebred dog knows what size it will grow to and what to expect from it.

You can never predict what size a pet will grow to and what qualities it will have. All this also applies to a cross between a dachshund and a mongrel.

In most cases, such a hybrid will more closely resemble a mongrel, since the genes of a mongrel dog are often stronger. Dachshund-mongrel crosses are most often grey, grey-black or multi-colored.

Varieties: Chinese, royal, imperial (photos)

On message boards you can often see similar publications: “Imperial Pekingese puppies”, “real Chinese Pekingese”, “Royal Pekingese” - all this is nothing more than a publicity stunt.

If we talk about purebred and standard, then there are no varieties of Pekingese.

However, they really got a dog “like the emperor,” because he also had an ordinary Pekingese.

Also, many people confuse Japanese Chins with Pekingese, believing that these are two varieties of the same breed. It's not like that at all. They differ in everything - from external parameters to character traits.

Be sure to pay attention to this when choosing a pet.

Chow chow

This huge lion-like dog is very lazy. The Chow Chow is gentle, calm, but at the same time aloof and independent. She usually does not show affection towards family members. She is also not the kind of dog that will wag her tail at any reason. The Chow Chow prefers to lounge around on a comfortable couch or in the backyard.

It is also difficult to take this dog out for a long walk, but if the owner decides to take it for a walk, it will not jump in puddles, since this breed is very clean. Delicate and unobtrusive, she will be a wonderful pet.

Peculiarities

Pets can be picky eaters and stubborn in other ways. Basically, Pekingese love to lie on the sofa or the lap of one of the family members; their activity phases are short. Dogs treat children well and are affectionate and friendly towards them. They are not always friendly towards strangers, although they behave politely. Training a Pekingese is not an easy process and beginners are advised to be patient. With age they become more and more calm, but they will never refuse the games offered.

Photos and descriptions of crossbreeds

Here we will look in more detail at the features of the most common dachshund mestizos.

With a spaniel

This dog is similar in appearance to a spaniel. He has long wavy fur, floppy ears and a strong build. His body will be more elongated, and his legs will be shorter. The color of such a dog is most often pale brown, cream or caramel.

The dog has a lively and bright character, it is sociable, active, and easily finds a common language with all family members and other pets. The size of the dog is about 25-35 cm at the withers, weight – 10-18 kg.

With Jack Russell Terrier

This mixture can equally possess the qualities of both parents.

As a rule, this is not a large dog with pronounced hunting qualities; it gets along well with children and other pets. At the same time, the dog is prone to depression and does not tolerate loneliness well.

Outwardly, the dog resembles a Jack Russell terrier, but is slightly larger and wider in bone, while the legs of the mestizo are shorter than those of the Jack Russell, but longer than those of the dachshund. The shape of the muzzle is elongated, built towards the nose. Height at withers – 23-33 cm, weight – 7-12 kg, color – light with black or red spots.

With a chihuahua

These mestizos are classified as pocket pets; they are friendly, loving, love children and become strongly attached to their owner.

The body structure is reminiscent of a dachshund (elongated body and meek paws), the muzzle is that of a Chihuahua, and a pronounced feature is large erect ears, like those of a bat (dominant feature).

The height of the dog at the withers is 15-25 cm, weight is 4-7 kg. As you can see, the hybrid of a Chihuahua and a dachshund is quite miniature; it is a fragile pocket dog that can be taken with you on any trip, for walks, to visit, etc.

With a shepherd

This is a unique animal, it has the body proportions of a dachshund, but is slightly larger in size. This crossbreed is slightly taller on the paws, has erect ears and a muzzle that resembles that of a shepherd dog .

We can say that Ovchaksa (the name of the crossbreed) took the features of both parents. In most cases, the dog has a zoned black and tan color (like a shepherd dog). This pet is suitable for both an apartment and a private home.

This is a kind, intelligent, moderately active animal that is easy to train. In addition, the sheepdog is an excellent watchman and security guard.

Pet sizes:

With Yorkshire Terrier

This is a medium-sized animal with a slightly elongated body, short legs and a wide muzzle. The coat of this individual resembles that of a Yorkie (long, soft, slightly wavy) and requires regular brushing. Color – black and tan with gray hair.

These are kind, sociable dogs, they love children and active walks.

But they also have their disadvantages, these are:

Dog sizes:

With Spitz

The lush and thick coat of a Spitz is a dominant trait, and hybrids most often have just such a coat. The dog has an elongated body and short crooked legs. The muzzle is elongated, more like the muzzle of a dachshund, the tail is curled into a ring. Color - from light beige to dark red.

Smooth-haired and long-haired

Based on their coat type, Pekingese dogs are divided into two types::

1. Longhair (standard) . The guard hair is straight, of medium length, the undercoat is soft to the touch and quite thick. Females have a luxurious collar on their neck. Males have a lion's mane. On the hind legs the fur forms soft trouser legs, and on the front legs there are noticeable fringes. The fur is longest on the ears and tail.
2. Smooth-haired or short-haired . Officially, this type of breed does not exist, but sometimes there are representatives with shorter fur than usual. For example, the black and white Pekingese. Their coat is of medium length, without a thick undercoat. There are no featherings on the ears, but the tail is still the fluffiest part of the body.

Often, under the guise of short-haired Pekingese, sellers offer outbred dogs, crosses with a spaniel, chin or other breeds of similar type.

Description of the Pekingese breed

you can call it a business card, because it is quite original and unusual:

Dogs have a large head , the height of which is greater than its width. The skull is wide, flattened. Despite the abrupt transition from the frontal lobe to the face, the dogs are quite cute. The Eyes attract special attention - they are huge, round in shape, and have black eyelids. The lips fit tightly, and the nose ends in a large, flat lobe with black pigment. The ears are heart-shaped, with elongated hair, hanging down. The Pekingese has a short, thick neck and a powerful front part of the body. The ribs are convex, the back creates a straight line. The chest is wide, and the limbs , both hind and front, are strong and shortened. The paws are flattened, slightly turned to the sides. tail - it is set high, lies on the back and is decorated with long, thick hair. The fur forms an enviable mane in the area of ​​the shoulders and neck, this feature makes the representatives of the breed look like lions. In addition, there is elongated hair on the back of the body - the limbs. The undercoat of dogs is abundant and dense.

If we talk about generally accepted standard norms, they determine the following parameters for representatives of the breed: the minimum Height at the withers is 15 cm, the maximum is 10 cm higher. The weight can fluctuate between 2.5-5.5 kg.

What does an adult pet look like in the photo?

“A small dog is a puppy until old age” - this saying perfectly describes the appearance of adult Pekingese.

Due to their breed characteristics, they retain “childish” features throughout their lives . Otherwise, it is a strong, stocky and short-legged dog, whose weight does not exceed 5 kg.

The main distinguishing feature of this breed from others is its extremely flattened muzzle. This is especially noticeable if you look at the dog from above - its muzzle seems completely flat.

The ears hang down to the sides and are shaped like hearts . The head is large, massive, with a characteristic transition from a flat forehead to a muzzle.

The snub nose is located at eye level. The eyes themselves are round, convex, dark brown in color. The neck is short, smoothly blending into the chest.

The purebred Pekingese has a bushy tail, like a squirrel . It is located quite high and curled onto the back. Sometimes its tip touches the dog's head.

What kind of dogs are called mestizos?

Mixed breeds are dogs that have purebred parents in their genes. Crossbreeding is carried out by professional breeders; they use animals with good pedigree. Experts are constantly experimenting with genetics, trying to create a breed with improved qualities.

Mixed dachshund and toy terrier

Metis began to be actively bred in the 80s of the 20th century. The task was to get a friendly companion dog with hypoallergenic coat. Nowadays, breeds are mixed to get a dog with strong immunity, which is formed in puppies with different genes. A cross between breeds has a more flexible character and less rancor.

Despite the fact that gene mixing has been practiced for several decades, mixed breeds are not recognized by the International Canine Federation. To establish a designer breed, it is necessary to breed it for several generations in a row.

Interesting! The wool of mestizos does not cause allergies.

Popular types of mestizos

Dog trainers cross breed dogs of the same size, but there are exceptions. Sometimes interesting results are obtained. A dachshund is often chosen as one of the parents. This breed is the choice if you need to add stamina and good health to your puppies’ genetics.

Dachshund and Toy Terrier (Doxy Terrier)

A cross between a dachshund and a toy terrier is the result of a combination of two popular breeds in the world. Dachshund rabbits are used for mating; they are more suitable in size for miniature toys.

The mestizo inherited short legs and a long body from a dachshund, and from that terrier a playful and intelligent disposition. The dog is very attached to his owner and spends a lot of time on people’s sofas and laps. Due to his timid nature, he does not get along well with children. The height of an adult at the withers is up to 30 cm, weight is up to 5 kg.

Dachshund and Jack Russell (Jackwinnie)

The dog measures up to 30 cm, weighs 7-12 kg, and has hunting inclinations. She is attached to her owner and cannot spend a long time alone. The Jack Russell and Dachshund mix has a playful, good-natured disposition and gets along well with other pets in the house. The animal requires frequent and long walks and easily learns commands and tricks.

Important! Disadvantages include a predisposition to joint dysplasia and increased shedding.

Jack Russell Terrier mix

Papillon mix (papshund)

These are funny dogs with a long body, short legs and long hair. Papshund have an excellent sense of smell and a pronounced distrust of strangers; they are ready to rush to the aid of their owner at any moment. The coat requires careful care.

Dachshund and spaniel (docker)

According to the description of the exterior, the mestizo is similar to a dachshund, the color of the wavy coat is black with red tan, brown, caramel, spotted. The dog's body is stocky, elongated, and its legs are shorter than those of a spaniel. The size of individuals is 25-35 cm at the withers, weight reaches 18 kg.

Connecting with a poodle

Dwarf poodles are used for crossbreeding; from them the mestizo took an inquisitive mind and intelligence. The dog is very vocal and loves to greet its owner with a loud bark. The cross with a dachshund created a short-legged beast with a long, graceful body and soft, curly fur.

Important! A hybrid may inherit a tendency to certain diseases from its parents.

Teaming up with a pit bull

The dog received a combination of a strong build, a massive pit bull head and short legs on the elongated body of a dachshund. Despite the mixture of two complex characters of these breeds, the dog turned out to be harmless and gets along well with people and other animals.

Connection of dachshund and pitbull

Dachshund and Rottweiler (Dutchweller)

A stocky, long dog with a large head and Rottweiler coloring. The result of crossing breeds may seem ridiculous, but it has its fans. The blood of the Rottweiler made the mestizo an excellent guard, and the dachshund inherited good health. The size of the individual is up to 35 cm, weight is up to 20 kg.

Important! If raised incorrectly, the dog is prone to aggression.

Dachshund and Chinese Crested (Crestoxy)

The article was prepared specifically for the Pekingese Portal.

The following questions very often appear on our forum: - I began to be overcome by doubts, do we really have a Pekingese, or not? I looked at all the photos here, and Pekingese puppies on the Internet... They seem to be smaller and fluffier at this age? - When will my Pekingese grow hair like yours? What needs to be done for this, maybe give me some vitamins? — I bought a dwarf Pekingese, is that true? — I bought a Pekingese puppy, he is 1 month old (alternatively, the breeders said to urgently pick up the puppy as soon as he turns a month old).

If the owners of such dogs are very lucky, they have so-called old-type Pekingese dogs; if they are unlucky, they have mixed breeds or mongrels.

Let me start with the fact that not a single conscientious breeder will give you a Pekingese puppy at one month of age. You can buy him, but until he is two months old he will live in his nest until he gets stronger and gets his first vaccination. There are exceptions when, well, they really, really persuade, with tears in their eyes and so on (I don’t recommend this method, the puppy’s life is on your conscience). But if the breeder says, without persuasion, take it and does not offer to let the puppy grow up, and you have definitely decided to buy a Pekingese, you can safely turn around and leave. Usually, the smaller the puppy, the more it looks like something purebred, and when it grows up, the truth clearly becomes “written on its face,” which is why breeders try to sell the puppy as early as possible (a person who does not understand purebred dogs will not understand that he was deceived). And in purebred puppies, the older they are, the more pronounced their pedigree is.

The old-type Pekingese (in common parlance, Pekingese) is not a true Pekingese, but in appearance they resemble the Pekingese that were bred in the USSR (behind the Iron Curtain), or 100 years ago. Such dogs have not met modern requirements for the breed for a very long time and not only the blood of the Pekingese ancestors flows in their veins (maybe a great-grandmother sinned with someone, or some other “relative” (and most likely not even one) for all the time of diligently obtaining puppies “for health "or for the sake of profit).

Dwarf Pekingese is a special “brand” under which any one-month-old mongrel is bought with a bang. There are no breeds or varieties of dwarf (Imperial and others) Pekingese. There is just a breed of Pekingese, which very rarely can give birth to a sleeve Pekingese, but you can read more about this in another section.

Metis - it seems like there was a Pekingese, but it’s not clear where, when and with whom. In this case, by Pekingese, we can most often safely say that we mean the same “old-type” Pekingese that you read about just above.

I think there is no need to explain who mongrels . I can only say. That a friend of mine, the owner of a mongrel, proudly calls her breed Sharbo. It sounds beautiful and doesn’t seem to deceive anyone, because according to him, the breed of a dog is determined by its fathers: Sharik and Bobik.

Such dogs will never grow hair like a purebred Pekingese, even with any vitamins. If it’s not genetically determined, it won’t grow.

But there are people who prefer Pekingos. Below I will give the pros and cons of purebred Pekingese and Pekingese.

I have described only those differences that are immediately noticeable. In fact, there are many more differences; you can understand them by studying and understanding the breed.

Puppies – in detail, from 1 month to a year

The following table clearly demonstrates the development of the Pekingese from birth to one year:

To prevent your puppy from encountering inflammatory diseases, take care of his hygiene (folds on the face, ears, nose, eyes), since due to the peculiar structure of his body he cannot fully take care of himself.

Pros and cons of hybrids

Mixed breeds of purebred dogs have their advantages over individuals of the original species:

When breeding hybrid dogs, breeders are faced with their disadvantages. The result of crossbreeding can be dogs that have acquired hereditary diseases from one of the generations of their ancestors. The temperament of an animal cannot be predicted. A litter may produce puppies prone to aggression and mistrust.

Cross between dachshund and mongrel

Unfortunately, not many breeders are interested in hybrids. In people's minds, designer breeds are the same as mutts.

Mixed dogs, including dachshunds, have been bred for many years. You should take a closer look at the crossbreed; perhaps a mixed-blood dog will become a good friend and win the hearts of the household no less than a purebred dog.

The Dachshund is one of the most popular dogs in the world, and it is not surprising that its crosses with other breeds and mongrels are found everywhere. They combine the features of two breeds; interestingly, they often inherit a long body and short legs. The Dachshund mix is ​​incredibly diverse in its appearance. Some dogs look very cute, others look like the result of Photoshop.

On average, pikapu requires from to a cup per day. It depends on what food you choose. Feeding wet food or cooked lean meats and vegetables (safe for dogs) from time to time is appropriate, but too many high-calorie treats can lead to obesity.

Obesity is a serious problem for this dog breed. They are prone to this due to their size and insatiable appetite. It is extremely important to make sure that your Peekapoo does not get too many treats to avoid this problem.

Dachshund mix: designer breed or mestizo?

For the first time, people started talking about hybrid “designer” dogs in the 80s of the 20th century, when American breeders began breeding purebred representatives of various breeds in order to combine certain traits of appearance or character in their descendants. Over time, this began to become increasingly widespread and affected all the most popular breeds, including, of course, the dachshund. Thus, puppies from purebred parents with documents are called “designer”, but if they are born from dogs without a long pedigree they can only be called mixed breeds.
