The terms crossbred dog, dog hybrid, and designer dog refer to the intentionally bred offspring of two or more different recognized dog breeds. The terms differ from the term "mixed breed dog" which sometimes refers to dogs which are literal mixes of breeds, but is also a common misnomer when referring to dogs with no purebred ancestors.

Famous quotes containing the word dog:
““That corpse you planted last year in your garden,
“Has it begun to sprout? Will it bloom this year?
“Or has the sudden frost disturbed its bed?
“O keep the Dog far hence, that’s friend to men,
“Or with his nails he’ll dig it up again!”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
