Pug Border Terrier Breed Details
The Pug and Border Terrier mix, as a crossbreed, is not an official member of any breed group. Neither does any info exist about these hybrids' specific origin; while a Pug and Border Terrier cross may have existed naturally for a long time, no breeder or breed club has claimed its creation. The Pug-cross-Border Terrier likely gained popularity during the designer dog "explosion" in North America in the late 20th century. Whatever the case, these good-natured, enthusiastic little hybrids make great companion pets, and are especially good for seniors or for those living in apartments.
A few facts about the Border Terrier-Pug mix: they're small-sized, averaging 12 inches at the shoulders in height and 14 pounds in weight; their coat length and texture can vary a bit, but are most often short to medium, double-layered, and somewhat wiry (and moderately shedding); and they need a lot of companionship, and will suffer separation anxiety if left alone.
