designer dog
Hybrid canine companion
A designer dog is a dog deliberately bred from two purebred parents of different breeds, producing a hybrid with a catchy name: labradoodle (Labrador and poodle), goldendoodle, cockapoo, puggle.
The term emerged in the late 20th century as breeders marketed these mixes as combining desirable traits from both parent breeds.
Critics note that "designer dog" often describes what used to be called a mutt, now sold at premium prices.
