Crossbreed with other breeds

The breed of lapdogs has many subspecies, but all of them are small domestic dogs with a touching appearance and good character. If you cross them with pets of other breeds, you can get the most unexpected result. Puppies of such unions are called mestizos. What are mestizos and what are they, we will tell in this article.

Mestizos and mutts belong to outbred dogs, but these animals are significantly different from each other. The generic line of mongrels is impossible to trace, and the mestizos have thoroughbred parents. In their appearance, the features of their titled ancestors are guessed. Unfortunately, heredity does not give them the right to have documents or keep a pedigree. And although some mestizos are allowed to exhibit, they almost never win awards.

Researchers believe that in most cases hybrids inherit from the parents all the best in physiology and character. They have strong immunity, they are rarely transmitted genetic diseases inherent in any breed. The psyche of such animals is more stable than, for example, aggressive breeds, they are easier to adapt to the new environment, have a flexible, sociable character.

Mestizos made into the world should not be paid, they are passed into “good hands”.

Important! Hybrids are produced purposefully, for example, the owner wants to have a small cute dog in the form of a lap-dog, but with Doberman watchdog qualities.The danger of such an alliance is that the genes can develop unpredictably and the owner will receive a large shaggy dog ​​with a kind character that will not even bark when a thief appears in the apartment.

Before proceeding to the description of a cross between animals of different breeds, we will find out who these lapdogs are. Having ideas about them, one can expect the appearance of such genes from a hybrid. A lap-dog is a cute fluffy dog ​​of small sizes. But the breed is many varieties that differ in their appearance and character. For a general overview, we list some of them.

• Maltese (Maltese) - beautiful, picky creatures with white hair. The character is sensitive, gentle and affectionate. Such a dog can cry if offended.

• Russian color - endowed with gray, beige or brown color. He is soft, compliant, but has protective qualities, which is not typical for lapdogs. She is able to show character and protect the owner.

• French (Bichon Frize) - the coat has a white coat color, good-natured and inquisitive character.

• Italian (Bolognese) - aristocratically proud and wayward dog. She looks like a white ball. In fact, it has a slender body, which is rounded off due to a large amount of wool.

• Havana (havanese) - a glamorous dwarf dog with delicate silky fur. Pets of this breed are kind, pampered, love attention, get along well with children.

• Coton de Tulear - a lap-dog with a floor-long hair, strong build and good health.

• Lesser Lion (Levhen) - two-tone individuals with a characteristic haircut under the lion. But they look completely non-threatening, endowed with a good character.

The owner must have a strong character in order to become an authority for the pet.

• Papillon mixed with lapdog. Not so long ago, the breeders deliberately bred Mi-ki mestizo. It was the result of the crossing of the Maltese lapwort, papillon, shih tzu and Japanese chin.
