What is a mix between an golden retriever and pug?

Its not a golden pug. you should pay for one if you want that mix get one from the pound.

Mixing the 2 is not a good idea. You can get one of each, I have a pug and he is a great little guy.

There are mixes of the 2 you can find a mix of any 2 breeds but there are alot of health problems that can come along with them. Take all the health problems from a pug add all the health problems from a golden and thats what you could get. Of corse there is a change you can get one with no health problems but your best bet when buying a dog is to find a good breeder who tests there dogs for health problems and only breeds healthy dogs.

people who breed mixes usualy do not do the healt testing and paying for one is not a good deal, Your supporting bad stuff and your getting ripped off.

Golden Retriever Pug Mix

I have pug golden retriever mix. I got her free at a garage sale - long story. She is so gorgeous! Although she is so stinking cute it is a dangerous mix. The people who were breeding the dogs were breeding a male golden with a female pug. I feel terrible for the situation but I am so thankful I have my beautiful Wennie. I was a bit shocked at how negative people were being on this forum. It made me a bit sad so I thought I would share. If I could figure out how to post a pic I would. Just wanted to know if she had a breed name, besides perfect pet companion.

If you want a designer Pug, a Puggle is for you. They are pug/beagle mixes, extremely cute, and a step up from that 'dog pound mutt'.

Breeding the pair is extremely dangerous in all ways. Dogs with pushed in faces are more likely to need a C-Section than other dogs (not including Shih Tzus).

If a Puggle won't work, try breeding two dogs that are roughly the same size, like a Golden and Standard Poodle, hence another designer dog, the Goldendoodle.

A mix between a golden and a pug IS A MUTT.! plain and simple. Just get one or the other. Do not give some crazy back yard breeder another hair brained idea to make a buck.

naming the mix should be farthest thing from your mind. there's too much discrepancy between the breeds and a mix would not be the best idea. never mind how the pups will look - a dog is a dog is a dog, and they'll always have the potential of being gentle souls - but just think of the possible medical problems!

i have a pomeranian-pekingese mix who i got from a local shelter who everybody thinks is the cutest little guy, but i've heard of many medical complications that Peke-a-poms (that's what they call them - I could care less) might've inherited from their parents.

if you're so keen about getting what they call "Designer Breeds", why not cross your Golden with a Poodle for a Goldendoodle? They say they're cute, and the breeds would be more compatible, don't you think? But even better, just go to your local shelter and welcome a lovable dog into your home!

I bred pugs before, they are very loyal to their master. But then again I heard that retrievers are great to, but very large breed. depending on if you want an outside dog or an inside dog. Pugs are inside dogs and will cost you more money in the end, because of their noses, they dont breath very well. they dont breed together (lab and pug), at least I dont think so, it just sounds alittle crazy. a little dog and a very large dog. pugs are just too damn cute and have such a great personality...good luck with your decision.

I've never seen the 2 mixed! Not sure I'd want to, either!

But I guess it's up to what you're looking for in your dog.

What do you like about the golden? Do you want a big dog? What do you like about a pug? Do you want a small dog? Can you afford to have one of each if you can't decide?

List them all together and see which one means the most to you.

If there's certain traits from each that you want, but want a good medium sized dog, you may choose to look at an existing medium-sized breed. Take a Cocker Spaniel. They are bright dogs, a nice medium size, and come in a variety of colors, including that golden buff color. Shelties, Welsh Corgies, Finnish Spitz are all good medium sized options.

Good luck!

Ouch, I'm just hoping the pug's the dad, haha, for the mom's sake during birth. Interesting combo. Of course, he'd have a hard time reaching during mating, unless she was accomodating. I'd like to see the result, but have never heard of the mix personally.

The schnauzer. In fact, maybe consider a standard instead of a mini. The pug would have trouble keeping up in the dog park especially on warm days when you'd have to worry about his being able to breathe.
