The cost of mixed breed puppies in Virginia can vary widely, but generally, you can expect to pay around $300 to $800.
Mixed breed puppies’ growth depends on their size. Smaller mixed breeds (under 25 pounds) tend to live longer, sometimes up to 15 years or more. Medium to large mixed breeds (25 to 50 pounds) generally have a lifespan ranging from 10 to 14 years.
Puppies need age-appropriate exercise. As a general guideline, multiply your puppy’s age (in months) by 5 minutes to determine playtime duration (twice per day). Gradually introduce leash walking and avoid jogging until maturity.
On average, mixed-breed dogs live around 14.45 years, slightly longer than purebred dogs. However, remember that size matters: smaller mixed breeds tend to live longer, while giant breeds have shorter lifespans.
