Medium dog breeds are an incredibly popular pack, and include some of the world's favorite dogs. 

A perfect balance between trip-hazard small and too-big-to-fit large, these pups are a great choice for many homes. 

However, they range hugely in personality, temperament and care requirements even within this size range. 

So it's important to get to know your top choices before making your final pick. 

Let's dive in among this wonderful crowd, and see if we can find the perfect puppy for your family.

Medium Breed Mixes

Cross breeds are an increasingly popular option for dog owners.

They can take over one, or both of their parents. So there is a little more scope for a unique look or personality.

But also a risk that you will get something rather unexpected.

Getting to know their parents is a good idea, that way we can have a good idea of what our future pet might be like!
