Just a Bunch of Trendy Fuglies

Is it just me or are we seeing more and more of these so called 'designer dogs'? Down at my local dog park I've seen Cavoodles (Cavalier King Charles Spaniel x Poodle), Labradoodles (Labrador x Poodle), and just the other day, I was told there is something called a 'Jug'. Can you guess what two dogs came together to end up with this little beauty? Can't? Didn't think so. Try a Pug crossed with a Jack Russell! In other words, fugly crossed with hyper-snappy.



Hey, try this quick quiz. Here's a list of designer dogs. Try and guess the two breeds that are involved in each:
  • Schnoodle
  • Peekaboo
  • Cockerpoo
  • English Boodle
  • Doxiepoo
  • Papoo
  • Puggle (pic below)
  • Pugapoo
  • Westiepoo
  • Jackabee


Designer dogs tend to be crossed with Poodles. Apparently what drives this is the desire to have a dog that sheds little hair. I can't think of any other reason.

  1. Cockerpoo is better known as a 'Spoodle' in Australia, so they tell me.
