Species group: Mixed Breeds

Other name(s): Sharbo

The basics:
RightPet does not advocate the intentional cross-breeding of purebred dogs. But the reality is that most dogs available for adoption at shelters and rescues are mixed breeds. We think it might be helpful to hear from owners of these mixes to see what traits can be found in these dogs who are desperately needing homes.

The first generation Sharbo is a cross between a pure Boston Terrier and a pure Chinese Shar-Pei, although subsequent generations may have different proportions of the two breeds in the mix.

Appearance / health:
While all mixed-breed dogs can vary in appearance, the Sharbo often does look something like a blend between the Boston Terrier and the Shar-Pei.

Behavior / temperament:
While it's impossible to predict the exact personality of a mixed-breed dog, owners have reported that their Sharbos are active but not hyper. They can enjoy a game of ball and then relax with a cuddle in front of the TV.
