Pounds. The dark band is where most Pug Greyhound Mix dogs end up; the light band is the full range between the smallest and largest parent.

Height runs 18–22 inches at the shoulder, against 10–13 in for the Pug and 27–30 in for the Greyhound. The parents differ a lot in size, so litters vary more than usual. Breeders normally use the larger breed as the mother to keep whelping safe.

Coat, energy and training

Shedding

Low to high

Neither parent has a low-shedding coat, so expect dog hair around the house and seasonal heavy shedding.

Energy

High

Plan on long daily walks plus real exercise, such as running, fetch or a sport. A yard alone will not tire this dog out.

Trainability

Moderate

The Pug rates moderate and the Greyhound low; a puppy may lean either way.

Grooming

Low

A weekly brush and the odd bath keep the coat in shape.

Temperament

The Pug is usually described as charming, mischievous, loving. The Greyhound as gentle, independent, noble. A mix can take after either parent or land in between. If you can, meet both parents of a puppy before you choose.
