Hybrid Dogs
The Sheltie Pug is not a purebred dog. It is a cross between the Sheltand Sheepdog and the
Pug. The best way to
determine the temperament of a mixed breed is to look up all breeds in the cross
and know you can get any combination of any of the characteristics found in
either breed.
Not all of these designer hybrid dogs being bred are 50%
purebred to 50% purebred. It is very common for breeders to breed
multi-generation crosses.
"This is Cody, my Pug / Sheltie mix. He looks a lot like a Puggle but his ears aren't as floppy and his legs are longer. He turned a year old last month and he's already 27 pounds! I adopted him when he was 6 months old and he is still very hyper despite being neutered and over a year old now. He loves to play fetch which is very un-pug like, he is very playful and very friendly. I walk him 4 times a day and try to play fetch or take him to the dog park 3 times a week to tucker him out. He acts like a large breed dog, he definitely doesn't have that human syndrome. He's also a barker which was surprising. A heavy shedder too. He has the typical pug underbite and inside sneeze & snoring issues but a lot more stamina and loves the water."
