​

Cross Breeding - Hybrid Vigour

​

• The purpose of Purebred breeding is to establish and maintain stable traits that will be passed on from one generation to the next. 

 

• Cross Breeding on the other hand involves mating animals from two separate breeds. This results in hybrid offspring which combines the qualities of the two different breeds.   It is important to note that hybrids can show ‘hybrid vigour’ which asserts that the offspring has a tendency to possess qualities which are superior to both of its parents. This results in the pup’s appearance changing, thereby growing larger, or smaller than the parent.

 

• Designer dogs vary in appearance. Some pups may favour one parent or grandparent which can be much larger or smaller in size. There may also be slight differences in colour as the pup matures which may lead to lighter or greater shades of colour over time.

 

• Multi-generational puppies are bred over many generations and generally tend to be more consistent in appearance. However, as a consequence of hybrid breeding we cannot guarantee the appearance of the pup as it reaches maturity. If you desire a pup with more consistent appearance and traits it is recommended you purchase from a breeder of purebred pedigree dogs.
