10 designer dog breeds in photos

Did you know there are more than 500 designer dog breeds today? If you've recently visited a local dog park or leafed through a celebrity magazine with photos of stars with their pets, you're already well aware designer dogs are growing in popularity.

Purebreds are being crossbred to create hybrids like the goldendoodle, cavachon, maltipoo, and puggle. Unlike mutts, which are the result of two or more breeds accidentally blending, designer dogs are intentional blends of two purebred canines—and people are paying big bucks for them. Looking to learn more about the pets of celebrities like Tiger Woods (labradoodle) and Jake Gyllenhaal (puggle)? Stacker researched the history of designer dogs as well as some of the most beloved breeds.
