Currently, it has become relevant to engage in designer dog breeding. Even at the beginning of the last century, puppies obtained by chance from different breeds of dogs were considered marriage. Now, on the contrary, mestizos are popular among the population, because the features of both parents are manifested. It all started with crossing poodles with representatives of other breeds to breed a species with hypoallergenic hair. Laboodoodle first appeared, but he inherited genetic diseases from a poodle and labrador.
Mugs Pugs
Breeders love to use pugs, because they have a bright unusual appearance and a calm character. When crossing different breeds, mestizos acquire many positive qualities:
- resistant to diseases, both genetic and seasonal;
- easy to train;
- smarter than their parents;
- have an unusual appearance.
But there are also disadvantages of crossbreeding:
- it is impossible to predict the size, appearance;
- unknown character of the mestizo;
- aggressiveness is possible.
Pug mix and Chinese crested
The mixture from these two breeds looks unusual, some find the animal funny and unlike the others, and in others it causes disgust. The half-breed is similar to a fantastic gremlin who has a peculiar mohawk on his head and a chubby body with crooked legs. The crest on the head is stiff and sticks out in all directions. The skin feels comparable to sandpaper, but not all over the body. This is a representative of the designer breed, it is rarely seen on the streets.
Genetics cannot be fooled. Crossbreeding does not always lead to good results.
Some mestizos can inherit only bad qualities on two sides, or only good, and maybe an equal amount.This can not be foreseen when looking at a puppy, which is why crossbreeds are dangerous. In any case, visits to the veterinarian should be regular, as a prevention of serious illness.
The muzzle of a mestizo is more like a pug, but not so flattened. The lower jaw is larger than the upper, due to the disproportionate jaws and flattened nose, they have wheezing breathing and increased salivation. The eyes are small, almost no eyebrows.
At first glance it may seem that the neck is missing, but it is just small in size. Since the paws are small and crooked, their movements are awkward and jerky.
Character
Representatives of this breed are friendly, affectionate, despite their appearance. Easily come in contact with people and other animals. They like to run after cats, birds, yapping, love to be stroked and scratched. But if they are well-educated, then they will not allow such behavior. These dogs have developed intelligence. Easy to learn teams, love to play. Punks even perform at dog shows and win prizes.
They cannot remain alone for a long time, because they begin to feel sad and yearning, then they are no longer up to the games.
These dogs are very sensitive natures. When they hear criticism or ridicule in their address, they begin to almost cry, they can even shed a tear and begin to whimper. Their eyes reflect sadness, which is transmitted to anyone who is nearby. Therefore, it is worthwhile to refrain from ridicule against them about appearance. They easily catch comic intonations and become depressed. Therefore, it is best to talk to them in a calm tone, affectionately, not to be rude and not to say that they are ugly.
Having witnessed how a dog cries, the heart of even the most rude and evil person will melt in a second.
Care
It’s not difficult to take care of this pet, they are unpretentious. A plus in the acquisition of this mestizo will be the absence of wool, they do not require constant cutting and scratching, only a crest, which, if desired, can be laid, cut and combed. There is a special shampoo for swimming, with which it is recommended to bathe the puppy once a month. After swimming, you need to wrap it in a warm towel and warm it: there is no wool, so the dog quickly freezes.
If you wish, you can teach her how to use the tray, but you still need to walk at least once a day. Ideally, they require frequent walks, up to three times a day.
There are a number of hygiene procedures that need to be carried out from childhood.
- Ear cleaning - A special liquid and a cotton pad with a cotton swab are used.
- Teeth cleaning - you need to buy toothpaste with a brush, sometimes sticks for biting will do. This is necessary to preserve the teeth, because in old age they often crumble.
- To cut claws.
- Comb bangs.
- Scheduled Visit the vet.
- If the eyes watery, you need to wipe them and drip drops.
Doggies constantly snore in a dream. This they inherited from the pug. Due to the special structure of the mouth, one can’t compete with this at all, only accept it.
So if this does not suit you, then it is better to choose a different breed.
Animals do not have wool, but they have many folds. Between the folds, germs and dirt can accumulate, which can contribute to the development of inflammation. Therefore, periodically it is necessary to wipe between them a cotton pad with chlorhexidine. The most dangerous places are in the area of the muzzle, where food debris and debris, nose and mouth accumulate. This procedure should be carried out at least once a month, and in hot time - once every two weeks.
Nickname
"As you name the ship, so it will sail ...". Same thing with the nickname. For such an unusual appearance, one should not pick up pathos and sonorous names, because she looks awkward. For mestizo pug and Chinese crested short, sonorous nicknames, something like Zizi, are suitable. A funny mohawk can “throw an idea” to give the pet the name of one of the rock stars: Sid, Paul, Ozzy. If you consider the characters of movies and fairy tales, then good options are Hercules, Circe, Smith.
Do not call the dog comic names. At first it will be funny and fun, but Lamb and Tarakashka will be bored after a month.
Names will do Rocky, Jesse, Bran, Matilda, Tiki, Nelson, Johnny, Tyrion. It is unusual and interesting to call pets the names of heroes of myths or in honor of the planets. For example, it will be very unusual and bold to name the animal Zeus or Hera, as well as Thor, Loki, Hulk, Jupiter, Lada, Saturn, Pluto, Mars.
Price
One of the most important questions. The cost depends on the puppy's health, appearance, age, and also on whether his birth was random or whether it was a “design move”. In the first case, give away for free or at the lowest price.
Métis is now in fashion, demand for them has grown over the past few years, the price varies from 5,000 to 20,000 rubles.
When acquiring a dog that is unlike other dogs, think about whether you need it. If such a purchase is planned due to the pursuit of fashion, then it is better not to. This is a living being, which is characterized by feeling and experiencing. For your love, the dog will reward you with devotion and affection.
