10 Mixed Dog Breeds of All Different Sizes

Dog mixes are a rising trend in the breeding world, as these pups are “designed” to uniquely combine the attributes of two specific dog breeds. Whether bred as a hypoallergenic dog or simply for their looks, these pups are downright cute—and even have some of the silliest names.

Check out our list of 10 mixed dog breeds and learn about their individual temperaments, grooming needs, and activity levels.

#1: Sheepadoodle (Old English Sheepdog + Poodle)

Looking for a giant bouncy ball of energy and fur? Look no further than the Sheepadoodle, an Old English Sheepdog mixed with a Standard Poodle!

Temperament: This friendly pooch is going to light up every room! They are high-energy dogs that are going to beg to play all day with their pet parent or other pups.

Grooming: The Poodle genes will keep shedding to a minimum, but these dogs still require occasional grooming to help keep that fluffy coat white and those curls tangle-free.

Exercise: The Sheepadoodle will need plenty of walks or trips to the dog park to release excess energy. You can also expect playtime to be followed with lots of cuddles.

#2: Cavapoo (Cavalier King Charles Spaniel + Poodle)

Sweet, soft, and small enough to fit in your lap, the Cavapoo is a pup the whole family will love!

Temperament: While the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel half of this designer dog breed is typically calm and more reserved, they prefer to be around people and are not content spending time alone.

Grooming: The Cavapoo is an easy breed to groom, with low-shedding curls that require weekly brushing. However, those long Spaniel ears will need some extra attention to keep them soft and knot-free.

Exercise: Their Poodle genes make the Cavapoo a playful pup, and a daily play session or robust walk around the neighborhood should keep them satisfied.

#3: Pomsky (Pomeranian + Husky)

The incredibly photogenic Pomsky is about as close to a miniature wolf as you can find!

Temperament: These cuties can be a wild card when it comes to temperament. Both Huskies and Pomeranians have a reputation for their stubborn and intelligent personalities, so the Pomsky will need proper dog training to ensure they form positive behavior habits.

Grooming: The Pomsky requires daily brushing to help keep their high-shedding coat tidy.

Exercise: These furry friends love attention and need lots of it; otherwise, they may turn to destructive behaviors in the house. A treat toy will help keep them mentally stimulated and occupied before or after walks.

#4: Puggle (Pug + Beagle)

If those big "puppy dog” eyes don’t say it all...the Puggle may truly be a love bug.

Temperament: They are a more social dog, however Puggles do frequently bark (and quite loudly) thanks to their Beagle half.

Grooming: Puggles often have face wrinkles, which need careful cleaning to help prevent infection. Their smooth coats require weekly brushing just to get rid of excess fur that may shed.

Exercise: The Puggle may be small, but they need frequent activities to burn their energy, whether it’s going on a long walk, running around the park, or playing games inside.

#5: Maltipoo (Maltese + Poodle)

From lying in your lap to playing endless games of fetch, the Maltipoo is the perfect pup for those who want the best of both worlds.

Temperament: This teeny dog is a friendly, smart, and loving companion! Although they may remain under twenty pounds, the Maltipoo is brave and will happily meet new people and dogs.

Grooming: While most pet parents opt for the shorter look, the Maltese can actually grow their long coat down to the floor. The Maltipoo is low shedding, but they will need frequent grooming to keep their curls less shaggy.

Exercise: The Maltipoo will be fine with a daily walk to get their exercise—just resist the urge to carry them the whole time!

#6: Bernedoodle (Bernese Mountain Dog + Poodle)

The Bernedoodle is another addition to the family of Poodle mixes that is growing quickly in popularity—and rightfully so!

Temperament: The Bernedoodle is friendly, intelligent, and tends to keep their playful “puppy energy” well into adulthood. They’re a great breed for families with multiple dogs who want to play together all day.

Grooming: This mixed dog breed is less likely to trigger allergy sufferers because of their low-shedding Poodle coat. Bernedoodles require minimal grooming to keep their curls from growing too long.

Exercise: This pup has the adventurous spirit of the Bernese Mountain Dog with lower risk of joint problems, which makes them a great companion on outdoor adventures. Burn some of their excess energy with a hike or trip to an open field where they can stretch their long legs.

#7: Labradoodle (Labrador Retriever + Poodle)

There is no doubt the Labradoodle has established a reputation as the classic, family-friendly designer dog breed.

Temperament: Not only is the Labradoodle incredibly smart, but they are also one of the most trainable dog breeds. Teaching these gentle giants lots of new tricks will help occupy their mind and keep them well-behaved.

Grooming: Like other Poodle mixes, the Labradoodle has a curly coat that requires minimal grooming and rarely sheds.

Exercise: The Labrador Retriever is known for their love of water, and the Labradoodle is no different! Swimming is a great exercise for this high-energy pup, and it will also keep them cool in the summer heat.

#8: Pomchi (Pomeranian + Chihuahua)

They may be small, but the Pomchi has a big personality! This cutie mixes the bold and intelligent attributes of the Pomeranian and the Chihuahua.

Temperament: With proper training, this tiny dog can learn to do tricks and will even want to accompany you on outings. They do have a reputation for jealousy, so it’s best to supervise your pup when meeting other dogs.

Grooming: Pomchis require frequent grooming to help manage shedding. They are also more prone to dental problems than other mixed breed dogs, so it is necessary to establish a daily dental care routine.

Exercise: A daily play session with lots of attention is recommended to help prevent destructive behavior.

#9: Goldendoodle (Golden Retriever + Poodle)

Affectionate, friendly, and low shedding? The Goldendoodle truly meets the gold standard of dog mixes.

Temperament: There is a reason Goldendoodles have risen in popularity over the years! The easygoing personality of a Golden Retriever mixed with the intelligence of a Poodle makes this pup perfect for all kinds of families.

Grooming: Some pet parents prefer to keep their Goldendoodle’s coat short, while others like the long and shaggy look. Regardless, this dog requires minimal grooming to keep their curls tangle-free.

Exercise: There’s no doubt the Goldendoodle has tons of energy to burn. Exercise this pup with daily walks, indoor play sessions, or even some rounds of tug-of-war.

#10: Chiweenie (Chihuahua + Dachshund)

Of all the adorable (and silly) mixed breed dog names, the Chiweenie may be at the top of the list!

Temperament: This pooch has a little body, but they are full of confidence and spunk. While they can become stubborn, the Chiweenie is definitely capable of being trained as a well-behaved and loyal companion.

Grooming: Depending on the Dachshund parent, the Chiweenie can sport a long, short, or even wirehaired coat that will need minimal grooming to maintain.

Exercise: Because of their size, Chiweenies make great dogs for living in apartments. They still require daily walks and play sessions to help maintain a healthy lifestyle.
