This is a list of hybrid dogs. A dog hybrid is not actually a breed, nor is it actually a hybrid, usually taken to mean a cross between two different species (i.e. a canid hybrid). What is being fashionably now called a hybrid is what has been traditionally called a crossbred dog, one with two purebred parents of different breeds, both of which are of the same species, Canis lupus familiaris.
As many hybrids include poodles (see poodle hybrid for details), they are listed separately below.
Registration
Like any other mixes, cross-breed dogs cannot be registered with any of the recognized kennel clubs, even if both parents are registered purebreds.
