Currently, it has become important to engage in designer breeding dogs. Back at the beginning of the last century, puppies, obtained by chance from different breeds of dogs, were considered to be a marriage. Now, on the contrary, mestizos are popular among the population, because the features of both parents appear. It all started with crossbreeding poodles with representatives of other breeds to breed with hypoallergenic coat. Labrododell first appeared, but “inherited” he received genetic diseases from a poodle and a Labrador.
Meticys Pugs
Breeders like to use pugs, because they have a bright unusual appearance and calm character. When crossing different breeds, mestizos acquire many positive qualities:
- resistant to diseases, both genetic and seasonal;
- easy to train;
- smarter than their parents;
- have an unusual appearance.
But there are also disadvantages of crossing:
- impossible to predict size, appearance;
- unknown character of mestizo;
- possible aggressiveness.
A cross between a pug and a Chinese crested
The mixture of these two breeds looks unusual, some consider the animal to be funny and unlike the rest, while for others it is disgusting. Metis is like a fairy-tale gremlin, which has a peculiar Mohawk on its head and a plump body with curved legs. Tuft on the head hard and sticking out in all directions. The skin feels comparable to sandpaper, but not all over the body. This is a representative of the designer breed, it is rarely found on the streets.
Genetics can not be fooled. Not always crossing leads to good results.
Some mestizos can inherit only bad qualities from two sides or only good ones, and maybe an equal amount. It can not be predicted looking at the puppy, and this is a dangerous crossbreed. In any case, visits to the veterinarian should be regular, as a prevention of serious diseases.
The face of the half-breed is more like a pug, but not so flattened. The lower jaw is larger than the upper one, due to disproportionate jaws and flattened nose, wheezing and increased salivation. The eyes are small, almost no eyebrows.
At first glance it may seem that the neck is missing, but it is just small in size. Since the paws are small and crooked, their movements are clumsy and intermittent.
Character
Representatives of this breed are friendly, affectionate, despite their appearance. Easily come into contact with people and other animals. They love to run after cats, birds, yelp, love to be stroked and scratched. But if they are well brought up, then they will not allow such behavior. These dogs have developed intelligence. Easy to learn teams, love to play. "Punks" even perform at dog shows and win prizes.
They cannot remain alone for a long time, because they begin to feel sad and depressed, then they are no longer up for games.
These dogs are very sensitive natures. When they hear criticism or ridicule in their address, they begin to almost cry, they can even let out a tear and begin to whimper. Their eyes reflect sadness, which is transmitted to anyone who is nearby. Therefore it is necessary to refrain from ridicule in their address about the appearance. They easily pick up comic intonations and fall into depression. Therefore, it is best to talk with them in a calm tone, gently, not to be rude and not to say that they are ugly.
Having become a witness of a dog crying, even the crudest and most evil person’s heart will melt in a second.
Care
It is easy to care for these pets, they are unpretentious. A plus in the acquisition of this mestizo will be the absence of wool, they do not require constant cutting and carding, only tuft, which can be laid, cut and combed at will. For bathing there is a special shampoo with which it is recommended to bathe your puppy once a month. After bathing, you need to wrap it in a warm towel and warm it: there is no wool, so the dog will quickly freeze.
If you wish, you can teach her to use the tray, but you still need to walk at least once a day. Ideally, they require frequent walks, up to three times a day.
There are a number of hygienic procedures that must be carried out since childhood.
- Cleaning the ears - use a special liquid and a cotton pad with a cotton swab.
- Teeth cleaning - you need to buy toothpaste with a brush, sometimes suitable for biting sticks. This is necessary to preserve the teeth, because in old age they often crumble.
- Trim claws
- Comb bangs
- Scheduled visit the vet.
- If eyes are watering, need to wipe them and drip drops.
Dogs constantly snore in their sleep. This they inherited from the pug. Because of the special structure of the mouth, you can’t fight it, just accept it.
So if this does not suit you, then it is better to choose another breed.
The animals do not have wool, but have many folds. Microbes and dirt can accumulate between the folds, which can contribute to the development of inflammation. Therefore, periodically it is necessary to wipe between them a cotton pad with chlorhexidine. The most dangerous places are in the area of the muzzle, where food debris and debris accumulate, the area of the nose and mouth. This procedure should be carried out at least once a month, and in a hot time - once every two weeks.
Nickname
"As you call a ship, so it will float ...". The same with the nickname. For such an unusual appearance it is not necessary to pick up pretentious and sonorous names, because it looks clumsy. For the pug half-breed and the Chinese crested short, sonorous names, something like Zizi, are suitable. A funny mohawk can “give an idea” to give a pet the name of one of the rock stars: Sid, Paul, Ozzy. If we consider the characters of movies and fairy tales, then good options - Hercules, Circe, Smith.
Do not call the dog comic names. At first you will be funny and fun, but Barabashka and Tarakashka will get bored in a month.
Names will do Rocky, Jesse, Bran, Matilda, Tiki, Nelson, Johnny, Tirion. It is unusual and interesting to call pets the names of heroes of myths or in honor of the planets. For example, it is very unusual and it will be safe to name the animal Zeus or Hera, as well as Thor, Loki, Hulk, Jupiter, Lada, Saturn, Pluto, Mars.
Price
One of the most important questions. The cost depends on the puppy's health, appearance, age, and also on whether his birth was accidental or it was a “design move”. In the first case, give free or for the lowest price.
Metis now in vogue, the demand for them has grown over the past few years, the price varies from 5,000 to 20,000 rubles.
Getting such dog, unlike other dogs, think, and whether it is necessary to you. If such a purchase is planned because of the pursuit of fashion, it is better not to. This is, after all, a living being, which is characteristic of feeling and experiencing. For your love, the dog will reward you with devotion and affection.
