Can you tell me what a hybrid is?

You may have heard these pooches referred to as the popular term "designer dogs." Hybrids are mixes of two specific breeds; breeders choose the parent breeds to combine and pass on the best traits of different dogs. Looking for hybrid puppies? Santa Barbara members of our network list some amazing hybrids!

What is a Doodle?

Doodles are an umbrella term that refers to hybrids that have Poodle parentage; Poodles are often chosen for hybrids because they pass on hypoallergenic qualities. Some popular Doodles include Labradoodle and Goldendoodles. If you're seeking Doodle puppies for sale, Santa Barbara, CA breeders can help you out.

Are mixed breeds and hybrid breeds basically the same thing?

No. Any dog that's referred to as a mixed breed has multiple breeds in its family history—most folks call these pooches mutts. While a hybrid breed has specifically chosen parent breeds to maintain the characteristics of two distinct breeds. Dog breeders in Santa Barbara, CA can tell you lots more about hybrids.

What does it mean when a Santa Barbara puppy finder site lists F1s, F2s, and more?

These designations are used to indicate how much of one breed or another is present in the genetic makeup of any particular hybrids. If you are getting an F1 hybrid, that means it comes from parents of two different breeds. If two F1s are mated, then the resulting litter will be F2s. And if a hybrid is 75% one breed and 25% another, that's an F1B.

What are multigenerational puppies in Santa Barbara, CA?

While many suspect that a hybrid pooch comes from two different breeds, or is just one generation away from that crossing, the reality is that hybrids are often carried over multiple generations. You could come across a hybrid that goes back six generations to the original crossing of two different breeds.

What are some of the most popular pooches listed on the site?

It would be difficult to say which one type of Santa Barbara puppy for sale reigns as the most popular, but there are favorites that we see a higher demand for.

Because we've made it our mission to make it so.

You can get these health reports in writing!

Do I have to choose a puppy that has been bred near where I live?

Not at all! You are in no way limited by geography when choosing your perfect puppy. With our national network, you can pick a puppy from almost anywhere in America and have that pup sent to a major airport near you. That's the beauty of our amazing puppy finder—Santa Barbara, CA breeders and others can fly pups to just about anywhere in the USA.
