1. This is another over asked question. It's not as clever as you think. No.
2. I never want to cross breed dogs. Your just supporting BYB's
3. Hi, If you want to get all point-blank, yes a Chi and St Bernard can breed. Only if the St Bernard is the female, that's the only way the dogs could live and breed. You cannot have a larger Male impregnate a smaller Female, or else that would risk the life if the b*tch and puppies. But it can go vice versa, but none of this should be done unless you are a professional breeder [and pro breeders don't crossbreed intentionally]!
4. Yes, but you know, with all the mutts being put down daily in shelters, there's NO need to make any more that will have the same fate...
5. All dogs, regardless of breed, are the same species and can potentially mate. The logistics are another story. You also have the issue of viability. If a small female breed such as a chihuahua is impregnanted by a much larger dog, the pregnancy will most certainly kill her. If the pregnancy doesn't, then attempting to whelp the litter will
6. You simply take one breed of dog and another different breed and get them to mate then hopefully the bitch would become pregnant.
7. Mutts
8. actually , my vet told me the mother of the pups controls the size of the pups , so a larger male dog can produce pups with a small girl , something i was worried about when my lil girl was got at by a rottie and took her for a ultra sound scan, my lil girl is only 20 inch tall , and the rottie is almost 30 inch tall , a good 10 inch diffference , 6 months later her pups are all larger than her and just as strong , now at 8 months old , the pups are not much smaller than there dad ,. it is almost impossable for a toy dog to have it with a monster unless the girl was the large dog , just imagine the size of its ... opps
9. Crossbreeding is breeding two breeds of dogs together for a desired trait that isn't found in either purebred.
