The Japug is a cross between a purebred Japanese Chin and a purebred Pug. They are called hybrid dogs due to their origination from two different pure breeds.
The Japug dogs are small in size with a maximum height of 14 inches and can weigh any where between 8 to 20 pounds. These dogs resemble more to a Pug in their facial features and body but have characteristics of both parent breeds.
