There are a number of different new dog breeds these days, far more than the popular Labradoodle or puggle. Before getting into the descriptions of some of these hybrid dogs, it is important to understand a few things.
One is that while some of these hybrid dogs may seem strange, breeding different kinds of mixed dogs isn't something new, although the science to it is better. Breeding mixed or hybrid pets is really old school, if a person stops to think about it.
From ancient times, dog breeders have experimented with taking the characteristics they liked in one breed of dog, to change something about another breed. It could be that they wanted to take the calm disposition from one animal to reduce the excitement in another, or to suppress the aggressiveness.

One of the reasons that these new dog breeds started was for allergy reasons. In the late seventies, an Australian breeder was trying to find a way to provide a seeing eye dog to a woman, but her husband had a problem with being allergic to most dog breeds.
Through trial and error, and after many suggestions, a Labrador and a poodle were interbred, producing the first Labradoodle. These dogs were smart, as a Labrador often is, easy to train, but also had the characteristics of a poodle, namely a coat that didn't shed.

In addition to the Labradoodle, there is the Puggle, the Woodle, which is a Welsh Terrier and Poodle mix, Cockapoos, (Cocker Spaniel/Poodle,) and this is just a few.
One of the most popular, and almost as well known is the puggle, a hybrid cross of the beagle and pug. These pets don't have the flat faces that pugs have, they are small, are allergy friendly, and are ideal for those people who live in apartments or that have families.

One the downside is that many of these new dog breeds are expensive. For a few examples, the puggle can cost as high as a thousand dollars, depending on breeder. Labradoodles can fetch an even higher cost, up to three grand in some cases.
Does this put a damper on their popularity? No. In fact, they can be a form of prestige for some people. This is one of the reasons why many actors and other famous people own them.
