About This Quiz

Have you ever thought about purchasing, or breeding, a designer dog? Looking for that beautiful mix of one breed with another? The history of dog breeding is a long one, starting as early as prehistoric times. Domesticated dogs were encouraged to breed into their subgroups of usefulness, such as hunting or guarding. The true take-off of breeding as we know it today began in the mid-19th century, with the development of "kennel clubs." These are high societies focused on the breeding and promotion of dog breeds, designed by socialites.

Crossbreeds have become more popular in recent times, as grassroots movements have taken the mantle to end breedings. Critics have reported that breeding may cause uncomfortable and dangerous deformities in dogs, beginning a newfound societal cause of "adopt, don't shop." However, by mixing these predisposed breeds with others, we have found an incredible amount of gorgeous crossbreeds. Think you know your Peakapoos from your Yorkiepoos? Or maybe you just have a good handle on canine companions. Either way, get ready to explore the world of dogs, big and small. We guarantee you'll be wanting one of your own after you finish this quiz!

Which wonderful pup combination makes the DNA of a "Chiweenie"?
Chihuahua + Chow chow
Siberian husky + Shih tzu
Dachshund + Chihuahua

Maltese + Beagle
Pug + Poodle

Foxhound + Greyhound
Beagle + Labrador retriever
Beagle + Pug
Labrador retriever + Bull terrier
Correct Answer

Chris Bocanegra via YouTube
Which pointy-eared herding dog is called a "Texas heeler"?
Rottweiler + Golden retriever
Australian cattle dog + Australian shepherd
Shetland sheepdog + Labrador retriever

This breed belongs on a farm, with lots of land to run around on. The Texas heeler was primarily designed for herding and farm work, but they can also serve as great family friends. They're very smart, witty dogs with a high rate of trainability. They enjoy having something to do, so don't leave this little guy to his own devices or he may tear up your house.

Doxiepoo
tornagain via YouTube
They likely don't enjoy the fact that their name ends with "poo", but what does a "Doxiepoo" consist of?
Poodle + Doberman
English cocker spaniel + Dutch shepherd
Dalmatian + Pug

Correct Answer
Wrong Answer

This is arguably THE most unpredictable breed, as the bodies and orientations of these two dog breeds are very different.

Dachshund + Great Pyrenees
Golden retriever + Labrador retriever
Labrador retriever + Great Dane
Poodle + Golden retriever

The hypo-allergenic "Bernedoodles" are made from what two dog breeds?
Bolognese + Goldendoodle
Bernese + Poodle
Poodle + Border collie

Wrong Answer

With the grouping of a Bernese mountain dog and any kind of poodle, you get a Bernedoodle. These non-shedding, intelligent dogs are made to be companions and not show dogs. They prefer to be next to their owner's side as they explore the world or chill at home. While many breeds have similar physical traits, the personalities can vary from puppy to puppy.

Pointer + Shetland sheepdog
Poodle + Bichon Frise

Correct Answer
Wrong Answer

While the Jack-A-Poo can be a great addition to the family, they do tend to be jealous breeds of other pets and require a bit of an introduction before joining the household.

Whoodle
Original151 via YouTube
Whoa! What in the world is a "Whoodle"?
Welsh terrier + Poodle
Sussex spaniel + Chihuahua
Shih-Poo + Maltese
Poodle + Wheaton terrier
Correct Answer

Welsh terrier + Shih tzu
Poodle + Dachshund
Labrador retriever + Golden retriever

Correct Answer
Wrong Answer

Randall Standridge via YouTube
We promise this isn't a misspelling, but what is a "Dorgi" made from?

Dutch shepherd + Australian shepherd
Corgi + Dachshund
Chihuahua + Dalmatian

This dog was actually designed NOT to be a designer dog but to combat the diseases that generally hound (haha, get it) purebreds during their lifetime. The Cavoodle will always let you know when a visitor arrives, as they've a talkative breed. But don't mistake that for aggression, they just want to tell you what's up!

The name may speak for itself frankly, but what is a "Doodleman Pinscher"?
Poodle + Dachshund
Curly coated retriever + Chihuahua
German shepherd + Greyhound
Doberman pinscher + Poodle
Correct Answer
Wrong Answer

This breed is perfect for families, but not so much with strangers. They love to play, to be a part of the family and to serve as the guard dog for the household.

However, their intelligence may lead to stubbornness on their end of the relationship.

Basset hound + Poodle
Labradoodle + Bernese
Golden retriever + Basset hound

Mastiff + Corgi
Bichon Frise + Minature schnauzer

Bulldog + Chihuahua
Bolognese + Newfoundland
Chihuahua + Boxer
Correct Answer
Wrong Answer

These little guys don't get any taller than 12 inches, and they weigh no more than 30 pounds! This pup doesn't take much maintenance, as their hair is very short with minimal shedding.

Pinscher + Sloughi
Weimaraner + Chow chow
Correct Answer
Wrong Answer

Despite their facial features making them appear aggressive, these dogs are often fairly relaxed companions.

JodyD05 via YouTube
What gives the "Labrasenji" its name and its distinction?
Labrador Retriever + Basenji
Basenji + Golden Retriever
Labrador Retriever + Beagle
Borzoi + Basenji

Due to the retriever in them, they do need a certain amount of activity in order to be the happiest.
