6. Jackapoo
Yet another Poodle crossbreed, the Jackapoo combines the hypoallergenic favourite with a cute Jack Russell Terrier. The result is a loyal and fun dog whose appearance can vary dramatically depending on which parent it takes after. Photo: Canva/Getty Images
7. Puggle
Just as adorable as it sounds, the Puggle is a cross between a Pug and a Beagle. The result is a dog that is supposed to be less likely to inherit the Pug's common health issues or the Beagle's habit of howling - although some offspring may inherit both parents' less positive attributes.
