I tried to do a quick search for odd mixed breeds, you know breeding a little 5 pounder with a great dane or something and could'nt find anything. I'm sure it's been done before, and just curious with what the results were. The best I found was pug/pitbull mix.
Now this isn't really a problem for dogs as you might think, as a chihuauha's puppies at birth are approximately the same size as labrador pups, The big difference is a lab mother usually carries 7-10 eggcells to be fertilized, where as a chihuahua only carries 3-5 eggcells to be fertilized.
My wife and I have bred papillons and our 6 pound female had 1 26 pound pup when full grown while his brother ended up a whopping 4 pounds. I think she snuck out the door and was running around on our stud :dizzy2:
Anyways anyone know of any good links/pics on odd mixes of breeds
