Looking for a new addition to your family? In all honesty, it doesn’t matter if you choose a pure-bred or mixed-breed dog - both have several advantages and disadvantages. For instance, mixed breeds tend to be healthier than their parents. On the other hand, the mixed pup may have an uncertain temperament. There are several mixed breeds to choose from, like Maltipoo and Shorkie, to name a few. Knowing which is right for you takes some due diligence and research.
