About crossbreed dogs

What crossbreed dogs are like to live with

A crossbreed is any dog whose parents were different breeds, or whose breed is simply not known. On LocalPetFinder this page counts every dog the rescue lists as a crossbreed or as a cross of two breeds, so it covers a huge range of sizes and characters.

Battersea notes that for a dog of no single breed the full heritage "is usually unknown", and that such dogs are "sometimes thought of as being less desirable". The breed words on a rescue profile are usually a best guess from the dog's looks, so read the profile for what the rescue knows about this particular dog.

Even when both parents are known, The Royal Kennel Club says crossbreeds often show a mixture of their parents' traits, and that it is often difficult to predict what puppies will look like or what their temperament will be, especially when two very different breeds are mated. That is one real advantage of adopting an adult: the dog has already grown into its looks and character, and the rescue has seen them.

Size and exercise

There is no breed figure for a crossbreed. How much exercise a dog needs depends on its size, age, health and the breeds in its background, so ask the rescue what this dog is used to and what it needs.

Grooming

Coats vary as much as everything else. The Royal Kennel Club says the texture and colour of a crossbreed puppy's coat can be difficult to predict, and that mixing two very different coats, such as a Standard Poodle's and a Labrador Retriever's, may produce a hybrid coat that needs extensive grooming. With an adult dog you can see the coat it has, and the rescue can tell you how much brushing and professional grooming it needs.

Health

Battersea says that dogs of no single breed, "unlike pedigrees or pure-bred cross breeds", are "less likely to suffer from genetic conditions or some of the inherited diseases that are associated with specific breeds", and that lots of them can live longer than some pedigree breeds. So this is about dogs of unknown, mixed ancestry rather than a deliberate cross of two pedigree breeds, and it is a general pattern, not a promise about one dog.

For deliberate crosses, The Royal Kennel Club says puppies from two unrelated parents tend to be healthier in general, but that this "very much depends on the health and genetics of the parents". Crossing two flat-faced breeds can still produce puppies predisposed to breathing and eye problems, and crossing two breeds that both have hip dysplasia can still produce puppies with joint problems. Dogs Trust says any dog can experience BOAS (a breathing condition linked to a short nose), "especially crossbreeds with shortened noses".

Whatever the dog's background, ask the rescue what vet checks it has had and whether any condition is known. Your own vet is the right person to advise on anything you notice later.

Children, cats and other dogs

With a crossbreed, the breed label tells you little about how the dog will be with children, cats or other dogs. The rescue's own assessment, often noted on the profile, is the thing to go by.

Crossbreeds, mixes and "designer" dogs

The Royal Kennel Club describes a crossbred dog as one that usually comes from two distinct breeds, or from several generations of dogs originally made up from two breeds. Popular crosses often have nicknames combining the parent breeds, such as the Labradoodle (Labrador Retriever and Poodle) or Cockerpoo (Cocker Spaniel and Poodle), and are often called "designer dogs". Dogs of three or more breeds, or of unknown breeds, usually have no known family tree.

Rescues list both kinds. Dogs Trust names the Cavachon (Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and Bichon Frise) and the Cavapoo (Cavalier and Poodle), and the Goldendoodle (Golden Retriever and Poodle). A cross of a named breed also appears on that breed's page, and Poodle crosses are on our poodles and doodles page.

Crossbreed dogs in Pembrokeshire: your questions

Tap a question to expand

How many rescue crossbreed dogs are available for adoption in Pembrokeshire?

As of 8 November 2026, no crossbreed dogs are listed for adoption in and around Pembrokeshire on LocalPetFinder. Rescues add animals all the time, so this page fills as they list them.

What counts as a crossbreed on LocalPetFinder?

Any dog the rescue lists as a crossbreed, or as a cross or mix of two breeds, for example "Collie cross" or "Labrador x Staffy". A cross of a named breed also appears on that breed's page, so a Staffy cross is on both.

What is the difference between a crossbreed and a "designer" dog?

Mostly the name. The Royal Kennel Club says crossbreeds with nicknames combining their parents' breeds, such as Labradoodles and Cockerpoos, are often called "designer dogs". They are still crossbreeds. A dog of three or more breeds, or of unknown breeds, usually has no known family tree at all.

What do F1, F1b and F2 mean?

They describe the generation of a cross. The Royal Kennel Club says puppies of two separate breeds, such as a Pug and a Jack Russell, are an F1 cross; puppies of two F1 dogs are F2; and an F1 dog bred back to one of the original breeds produces F1b puppies, the "b" standing for backcross. With an adult rescue dog this matters less, as you can see what the dog is actually like.

Are crossbreeds healthier than pedigree dogs?

Often, but not always. Battersea says dogs of mixed, unknown ancestry are less likely to suffer from inherited diseases associated with specific breeds, though that does not mean they will never develop health issues. The Royal Kennel Club says puppies of two unrelated parents tend to be healthier, but crossing two breeds that share a problem, such as two flat-faced breeds, can still pass it on. Ask the rescue what vet checks this dog has had.

Do crossbreeds live longer?

Battersea says lots of dogs of no single breed can live longer than some pedigree breeds. That is a general pattern, not a promise for one dog, and a rescue dog's age and health matter more than its background.

How big will a crossbreed get?

With a puppy it can be hard to say. The Royal Kennel Club says crossing two very different breeds can make it difficult to know how big the puppies will grow. With an adult rescue dog you already know its size, and the rescue can tell you.

Do doodles and other crossbreeds shed?

It depends on the dog. The Royal Kennel Club says a crossbreed's coat can be difficult to predict, and that a mix of two very different coats, such as a Standard Poodle's and a Labrador's, may give a hybrid coat that needs extensive grooming. Ask the rescue about this dog's coat and grooming needs.

Can crossbreeds have breathing problems?

Yes, if they have a short nose. Dogs Trust says any dog can experience BOAS (brachycephalic obstructive airway syndrome), "especially crossbreeds with shortened noses", and The Royal Kennel Club says crossing two flat-faced breeds can still produce puppies predisposed to breathing problems. Ask the rescue what the vet has found about this dog's breathing.

Where can I buy a crossbreed in Pembrokeshire, and should I?

We only list dogs with rescues, so there is nothing to buy here: every crossbreed on this page is adopted for the rescue's fee. If you decide to buy, Dogs Trust's breed guides suggest talking to your vet, and say some practices offer pre-purchase consultations covering likely health conditions and rough costs. With an adult rescue crossbreed, the rescue can tell you how big it grew and what it is like to live with.

How much does it cost to adopt a crossbreed dog in Pembrokeshire?

Each rescue sets its own adoption fee. Dogs Trust charges £300 for a puppy or adult dog in England, Wales and Scotland, and Blue Cross fees start from £235 for dogs aged 8 or over and £335 for dogs aged 1 to 7. The fee usually covers neutering, microchipping and first vaccinations, and each rescue confirms its own fee.

Are there crossbreed puppies for sale in Pembrokeshire?

No. We don't list animals for sale. Every crossbreed dog on this page is with a rescue or rehoming centre. Rescues rehome animals rather than selling them, usually for an adoption fee: for example, Dogs Trust £300, and Blue Cross puppies under six months start from £525. The fee usually goes towards vet work already done, such as neutering, microchipping and first vaccinations. If you searched "crossbreed puppies for sale Pembrokeshire", the crossbreed dogs here are the rescue route: you apply to the rescue and pay its adoption fee, not a sale price. In Wales, Lucy's Law has meant since 10 September 2021 that puppies can only be bought where they were bred, or from a rescue or rehoming centre.

Can I get a free crossbreed dog to a good home in Pembrokeshire, or one under £500?

Usually not. UK rescues normally ask for an adoption fee, which pays towards neutering, microchipping and vaccinations. Many rescue fees are under £500: Dogs Trust charges £300, and Blue Cross from £235 for dogs aged 8 or over. An animal offered "free to a good home" is usually a private advert rather than a rescue. All dogs in the UK must be microchipped by 8 weeks old, and in England, Wales and Scotland a dog can't pass to a new keeper until it is chipped, so ask to see the microchip details.

Are there crossbreed dog puppies for adoption in Pembrokeshire?
