DogMixFactsPug Papillon Mix
A Pug Papillon mix is a cross between a Pug and a Papillon. Most grow into small dogs of 10–14 lb and live 14–16 years.
Photos show the purebred parents. There is no single look for a mix: puppies in one litter can resemble either side.
How big does a Pug Papillon Mix get?
Pounds. The dark band is where most Pug Papillon Mix dogs end up; the light band is the full range between the smallest and largest parent.
Height runs 9–12 inches at the shoulder, against 10–13 in for the Pug and 8–11 in for the Papillon.
Coat, energy and training
Neither parent has a low-shedding coat, so expect dog hair around the house and seasonal heavy shedding.
Daily walks and some play are enough for most of these dogs.
The Pug rates moderate and the Papillon very high; a puppy may lean either way.
A weekly brush and the odd bath keep the coat in shape.
Temperament
The Pug is usually described as charming, mischievous, loving. The Papillon as friendly, alert, happy. A mix can take after either parent or land in between. If you can, meet both parents of a puppy before you choose.
