The Jug recognized as a mix of the Jack Russell Terrier and Pug. To better understand what the possible physical and personality traits of your Jug are, it is best to familiarize yourself with the breeds of the dog’s parents.

Hybrid Dogs, also commonly known as “Cross Breeds” or “Designer Dogs”, are a category of dogs who are offspring to parents of two different pure dog breeds. This aims at extracting the qualities of each of the breeds involved in the matting process, which will results in the breeding of stronger and healthier puppies. This is typically characterized by puppies that have inherited the physical and mental qualities of both parents.

Although there are some people who would prefer to have 100 % of everything, from whole wheat and 100% cotton t-shirts, there are definitely some advantages to having a hybrid, or a more new-aged term, Designer Dog.

Hybrids have come a long stretch from the mutts and mongrels formerly tsase when two hybrids are bred to produce a breed. Though many would beg to differ, there is nothing new about the practice of selective breeding. For years different dogs have been teamed to create an otherwise ‘perfect’ offspring exhibiting greater characteristics and personality traits that would qualify them as man’s best friend.

Although every dog is as unique as its owner, perhaps the best way to find out about the hybrid’s temperament is by looking up the breeds in the cross and understand you can get any of those characteristics found in either breed. It is not uncommon to have more dominant traits from one parent than another, the same way a child will inherit more prevailing traits from their father than their mother or vice versa.

Because hybrids are ‘created’ from the likeness of purebreds, their names are invented as well. Take the Airedoodle for example- a mixture of Airedale Terrier and poodle; the Aussiedoodle-Australian Shepherd and Poodle, Cadoodle- collie and poodle, and the foxhoodle-fox hound and poodle. The reality is, there are oodles and oodles of mixes of poodles all in the search for the perfect dog.
