Did you get one of these dogs for Christmas? Today there are many new breeds showing up. Even the Westminster Kennel Club, the Miss Universe of dogdom, is allowing a few new abstract breeds into the high-tailed show.
I found this list of new canine cross-breeds,that in some cases make a lot of sense, others maybe not so much.
What you would get if you crossbred these pooches…
Collie + Lhasa Apso … Collapso, a dog that folds up for easy transport
Spitz + Chow Chow … Spitz-Chow, a dog that throws up a lot
Pointer + Setter … Poinsetter, a traditional Christmas pet
Great Pyrenees + Dachshund … Pyradachs, a puzzling breed
Pekingnese + Lhasa Apso … Peekasso, an abstract dog
Irish Water Spaniel + English Springer Spaniel … Irish Springer, a dog fresh and clean as a whistle
Labrador Retriever + Curly Coated Retriever … Lab Coat Retriever, the choice of research scientists
Newfoundland + Basset Hound … Newfound Asset Hound, a dog for financial advisors
Terrier + Bulldog … Terribull, a dog that makes awful mistakes
Bloodhound + Labrador … Blabador, a dog that barks incessantly
Malamute + Pointer … Moot Point, owned by… oh well, it doesn’t matter anyway
Collie + Malamute … Commute, a dog that travels to work
Deerhound + Terrier … Derriere, a dog that’s true to the end
Bull Terrier + Shitzu … Oh, never mind…
