designer pet

English term or phrase: designer pet
It's a movie review of Okja which says the character is a 'designer pig'. I found the related terms 'designer pet', 'designer dog', 'designer cat' in a few helpful contexts:

Historically, purebred dogs had been sought after as the desired companion. Records of purebred dogs, such as Springer Spaniels and Labrador Retrievers date as far back as 1884, when the American Kennel Club (AKC) was founded. However, since the late 90s, “designer dogs” have seen a huge spike in popularity.
(...)
Not only do these designer breeds come at a high monetary cost to guardians, but they also come at a cost to the animals themselves. While the ill-health effects of inbreeding gene pools to produce purebred dogs have been noted, as designer pets gain popularity, similar genetic health problems are beginning to arise.

Any guesses on what it would be in Brazilian Portuguese?

animais de estimação personalizados (designer pets)


Explanation:
O animal é obtido misturando raças diferentes, então seria um animal de raça híbrida, mas esse é o termo técnico, e não o termo de marketing.

Como a moda parece ainda não ter pego tão forte aqui, traduzir e deixar o termo em inglês ao lado:
animais de estimação personalizados (designer pets)

Um ótimo artigo sobre o assunto:

cachorro de estimação híbrido intraespecífico


Explanation:
"Intraespecíficos: são híbridos formados a partir de indivíduos da mesma espécie, porém entre subespécies diferentes. Exemplo: entre o tigre-de-bengala e o tigre-siberiano."
