These 25 Cute Cross-Breed Dogs Will Make You Fall In Love With Mutts
Dogs are probably one of the most diverse-looking species on the planet. Thousands of years of breeding has created a wide range of distinctive breeds with drastically different colors, coats, sizes and shapes. But what happens when you take some of these distinctive breeds and combine their most notable properties? You get dogs like these adorable cuties, who combine the best of both of their breeds.
The debate over whether mutts or purebreds are better is an interesting one. Purebreds have a predictable set of characteristics like size, color and/or temperament that ensures that you know, more or less, what your puppy will grow into. However, purebreds are usually far more susceptible to genetic diseases. Mutts tend to be healthier in this respect, but they can have behavioral problems (especially if they’ve been adopted). Also, if you get a mutt puppy, you may have no idea how big that dog will get – 20 lbs or 50.
