If you’re looking to buy a new dog for your family, chances are that you’ve considered pretty much every breed out there. There is one possibility that a lot of people don’t consider though, and that’s getting a hybrid dog, a mix between two purebreds, which might come from a rescue, or it might come from a breeder that specializes in these breed combinations.
A hybrid dog can sometimes be a bit unpredictable in its attributes, since you never know for sure from which side of the gene pool he’ll get this traits, but it often is a better dog than his parents.
