I was watching BBC breakfast a couple of days ago and they had a slot on about labradoodles (labrador / poodle crosses ) and they had a vet on discussing the merits of cross breeding types of dogs. The main benefit is the irradication of faulty genes.So I've been fantasising since then about creating my own breed of dog. I've owned bull terriers and whippets all my life, so I would call it a "Bullet" or "Whiperrier". It would be a bull terrier / whippet cross. The benefits would be the irradication of the gene that causes deafness and skin problems in bull terriers. Also the benefits of whippet eye sight (bull terrier eye sight is notoriously poor), the non-casting coat of the whippet and the whippet temperment are also a bonus.Pic related (He's my current bull terrier, Eddie).
I challenge /an/ to come up with a breed of some sort of superdog.Doesn't matter what's so "super" about it.
Sounds like a good term paper to me.And I <3 bull terriers.
>>61749>>I would call it a "Bullet" or "Whiperrier"I would call it a jaw with legs.FXED
Jaw with legs = LOL
My favorites are weiner dogs mixed with labradors. They always have huge heads and long bodies with stump legs and look hilarious.
Corgi/Irish Wolf HoundThe dwarfism of corgis is dominant when they are bred with dogs in the hound line. This breed is about as long as a German Shepherd but has the squat build and triangular ears of a corgi. Essentially they look like gigantic wirehair dachshunds.

>>61819Pics? Rule 34?
"bullet"?yes!
>>61819Do you mean they look like PBGVs (Petit Basset Griffon Vendeen)?
>>61882Err, I'm a tard, I meant to include this picture too.
Its so weird to see that it almost looks like a shoop...
I'm all for cross breading. Thats how you work out genetic defects. Remember when you mate one breed of dog with the same breed thats pretty much incest.
>>61749So do you want to create a new breed out of two existing ones or do you want F1 hybrid dogs with different parents each time? The latter would be much easier, but you'd still have to deal with the parent's genetical problems.
Holy jeez just rescue a MUTT. Any baja dog will do, stary mutt bred with stray mutt bred with stray mutt....very hearty dogs.
