Sometimes two dog breeds are better than one, so if you’ve been searching for your next pup, a mixed breed could be exactly what you’re looking for. Mixed breed dogs combine the best characteristics of both parent dogs into one awesome new breed. While their size, appearance, and personality might be a little bit harder to predict than their purebred cousins, mixed breed pups come in so many types that you’d be hard-pressed not to find one that’s perfect for you and your family.
We’ve rounded up 30 of the cutest mixed dog breeds of 2020. From classic breeds that most of us have heard of to newer crosses set to take the dog world by storm, there are plenty of adorable pups to go round!
Note: Poodles are one of the most popular breeds to use as one parent of a mixed breed puppy, thanks to their low-shedding and hypoallergenic coats. This makes them great for allergy sufferers. Poodles also come in three sizes, Toy, Miniature, and Standard, so you’ll find Poodle mixed breeds of all sizes, from tiny to huge, in our list!
The 30 Cutest Mixed Dog Breeds
1. Puggle Dog
The Puggle is a cross between the Beagle and the Pug. These sweet dogs are simply adorable! If you’ve been considering getting a Pug puppy, one huge advantage of choosing a Puggle is that they suffer from far fewer breathing problems than their Pug parents. These gentle and small pups make the perfect choice for apartments or small homes.
2. Maltipoo Dog
A cute Maltipoo has one Maltese parent and one Poodle parent. These adorable-looking dogs are a great choice for families, apartment living, and almost anyone! While they do enjoy a run, don’t expect them to be up for long hikes — in fact, you might have to carry them instead. Maltipoos love spending time with their owners and have a hypoallergenic coat that barely sheds at all.

3. Chiweenie Dog
Cross a Chihuahua with a Dachshund, and the result is a seriously adorable Chiweenie. These little pups combine the intelligence of the Chihuahua with the independent spirit of the Dachshund into one small ball of cuteness. These adaptable little pups are affectionate, but it’s important to train them from pups because they can get feisty!
4. Labradoodle
Almost everyone knows about Labradoodles, and their popularity isn’t set to decrease anytime soon. They combine the best of two well-loved breeds, the Labrador and the Poodle. Thanks to their low-shedding coats, they’re a great choice for allergy sufferers. These pups usually have energetic and fun-loving personalities, but they also love plenty of cuddles.
5. Yorkiepoo
The tiny Yorkiepoo has one Yorkshire Terrier parent and one Miniature Poodle. They’re a great choice for apartments or small homes, but you’ll need to make sure they’re well trained. Otherwise, they can become vocal and a little territorial. These little pups are playful, and as they can suffer from separation anxiety, it’s lucky that they’re small enough to come with you on most outings.
6. Corgipoo
Cross a Corgi with a Poodle and you get a Corgipoo. As with most Poodle mixed breeds, the Corgipoo has a hypoallergenic coat that makes them a good choice for families with dog allergies. These sweet pups are affectionate and love spending time with their families. You’ll have to spend time making sure your Corgipoo exercises properly so they don’t develop back problems when they’re older.
7. Pomsky
If you love everything about the Siberian Husky apart from their size, then the Pomsky is probably going to be your dream dog. Crossing a Siberian Husky with a Pomeranian results in a mixed breed pup that looks similar to a Husky, just smaller. They do need consistent training, though, as both their parent breeds can be a little stubborn.
8. Bull Pug
The Bull Pug combines the English Bulldog and Pug into an adorable mixed breed that’s also been nicknamed the Miniature Bulldog. These dogs look like a short and squat Bulldog in almost every way, save for their small size. Despite their tough-dog looks, this is an incredibly affectionate breed that prefers naps on the couch to active walks.
9. Horgi Dog
If you can’t decide between the Husky and the Corgi, then the Horgi could be the perfect breed for you! These medium-sized dogs have affectionate natures and a friendly personality that means all your visitors will likely fall in love with them too. They can be a little challenging to train, so signing up for puppy training classes is highly recommended.
10. Goberian
You might not have heard of the Goberian yet, but they’re taking the mixed dog breed world by storm. Combine the sweet Golden Retriever with the energetic Siberian Husky, and you get a lovable pup with stunning blue eyes and a lush golden coat. These affectionate and energetic pups are perfect for an active home where they can get a great deal of attention.
11. Gerberian Shepsky
This is a German Shepherd Dog crossed with a Siberian Husky. These pups end up as large intelligent dogs that can have a stubborn streak. They’re also extremely energetic, so you’ll need to make sure you can devote plenty of time to giving this medium to large breed the attention that they need, not to mention many walks!
12. Bullmatian
The Bullmatian might be spotty, thanks to their Dalmatian parent, but they also share plenty of characteristics from their Bulldog parent. These pups are super affectionate, even if they look a little tough from the outside. They might be energetic like their Dalmatian parent or chilled out like a Bulldog, but they’re always adorable.
13. Pitsky Dog
Combining the Pitbull and Husky into one pup with plenty of energy, and you’ll get a Pitsky. These dogs can end up with the striking blue eyes of their Husky parent. These loyal dogs have a serious amount of energy and need a confident and experienced owner who can dedicate plenty of time to their training and exercise. Then, they’re unstoppable!
14. Saint Berdoodle
Love the huge Saint Bernard but not how much they shed? Crossing them with a Poodle gets you a Saint Berdoodle with the looks of a Saint Bernard and a fluffy low-shedding Poodle coat. These sweet and large dogs are full of fun and affection. As with any large breed, training your pup from a young age is essential so they don’t scare your visitors!
15. Bernedoodle
The large Bernedoodle combines Standard Poodles and Bernese Mountain Dogs into one mega mixed breed with plenty of personality. These pups inherit their Poodle parent’s low-shedding coat and fun-loving nature. They also have plenty of loyalty and a tendency to want to watch over their owners, due to their Bernese Mountain Dog parent.
16. Morkie Dog
The Morkie is a tiny pup with one Maltese parent and one Yorkshire Terrier parent. They might fit in your bag, but they’ve got big enough personalities that you still need to make sure your training is on point, or a Morkie could become a tiny barking whirlwind intent on getting their own way, whether you like it or not.
17. Aussie Pom Dog
The Aussie Pom is an adorable blend of the Australian Shepherd and the Pomeranian. Smaller than an Aussie Shepherd but with all the brains, these little pups are fun to have around the place and are affectionate too. They do need consistent training because they can be a little stubborn. They’ll let you know where the gaps in your training are!
18. Corgidor Dog
Labradors are the most popular breed in the U.S.A. and for good reason, but they’re a little too big for some families. The Corgidor is the answer! These sweet pups share many of the Lab’s characteristics apart from their size, thanks to the fact that one of their parents is a short-legged Corgi. These mini Labs might just steal your heart.
19. Boxador
Combine the bouncy Boxer with the enthusiastic Labrador, and you get one extremely energetic Boxador. These smart dogs need plenty of physical activity combined with a great deal of training to stretch their brains, as well as their legs. They’re a great option for active families looking for a bright and lively breed to accompany them on all their adventures.
20. Frenchton
The Frenchton combines two small but sassy breeds, the French Bulldog and the Boston Terrier. Luckily, Frenchton pups don’t seem to inherit many of the health problems that their parent breeds can suffer from, so you can look forward to a relatively low-maintenance and cheerful pup. These dogs love spending time with their owners and are full of enthusiasm.
21. Sheepadoodle
The large and exceedingly fluffy Sheepadoodle has one Poodle parent and one Old English Sheepdog parent. They love to watch over their families, making them great guardians for children. They’re also extremely smart, so if you’re planning on signing them up for obedience classes, they might graduate top of the class.
22. Frug
Cross a French Bulldog with a Pug and what do you get? A Frug, of course! These small and laidback pups have the benefit over both their parent breeds in that they tend to end up with longer muzzle, reducing the breathing difficulties seen in their parents. Frugs can be a little stubborn to start with, but once you figure out a training method that works for them, you’re onto a winner.
23. ShiChi
ShiChi’s have one Shih Tzu parent and one Chihuahua. These tiny dogs are packed full of more personality than you might have thought possible. While it can be tempting to let smaller dogs get away with being naughty, you’ll have to be careful not to end up with a boisterous ShiChi that thinks they rule the roost. Regular training is highly recommended here.
24. Shollie
A combination of two seriously smart and active dog breeds, the Shollie has one German Shepherd Dog parent and one Border Collie. You’ll need to provide a home with a huge amount of both mental and physical exercise to keep these pups in top form. They can be wary of strangers, so plenty of socialization when they’re small is vital for this breed.
25. Chug
This is a Pug mixed with a Chihuahua. These small dogs share many of the characteristics of their parent dogs but suffer from fewer breathing problems than their Pug parents, thanks to their slightly longer muzzles. Some Chugs can be territorial and vocal, while others will be more laidback and prefer naps on the couch over barking.
26. Schnoodle
This is a mixed dog breed with a seriously cute name. Blending the Schnauzer and Poodle creates a Schnoodle with guarding instincts from their Schnauzer parent and an intelligent nature from the Poodle. Schnoodles are easy to train and can be found in all sorts of roles, from animal actors to therapy dogs and of course, beloved pets!
27. Goldendoodle
The Goldendoodle is a beautiful mix between a Golden Retriever and a Poodle. They can grow up to be big dogs but have wonderful sweet natures that make them the perfect choice for families. They get along great with other pets and love to be involved in all parts of family life. Whether it’s a day at the lake or a hike to the mountains, they’ll want to come too!
28. Chorkie
Chorkies combine two of the smallest dog breeds, the Chihuahua and the Yorkshire Terrier. Don’t be fooled by their tiny size, as these pups have huge personalities. They’re incredibly cute but can also be territorial and a little aggressive if not properly trained. Keeping these pups well trained will make your life that much easier.
29. Cockapoo
The adorable Cockapoo is a popular hybrid breed, with one Poodle parent and one Cocker Spaniel parent. They were one of the first designer dog breeds and are as popular as ever, thanks to their sweet personalities and gentle nature. They’re well suited to families with kids, and their low-shedding coat also makes them a good breed for allergy sufferers.
30. Whoodle
The adorably named Whoodle is a cross between a Poodle and a Wheaten Terrier. These sweet pups have a low-shedding coat thanks to their Poodle parent, so they are a great choice for allergy sufferers. They have energetic and intelligent personalities and love nothing more than hanging out with their families. These active pups make great agility or obedience dogs.
