Just a musing really, but what dogs could/would make good crosses. This has come from reading the post about the Akita x Sharpei, and people far more knowledgeable than me saying they couldnt understand why anyone would want to cross the two. I have no experience at all of the sharpei, and only know of one Akita who lives up the road and occasionally see out and about. Also, there was one about a Collie x Husky, which had very mixed responses. (I have one of each, but not sure how they would together). I know poodles seem to be popular dogs to cross with, and I know of 2 crossed with labs that are lovely dogs. I also dont know any personally but Husky/malamute seems to be quite common, but I think they are quite similar dogs in lots of ways, size apart, please feel free to correct me if I am wrong. Husky/GSD also seems popular, am I right in thinking that is partly where the Inuit has come from?
I saw a fb post shared today that was selling Retriever/GSD mixes, I think that is what prompted me to write this post. I like both breeds, but would they make a good cross?
