Wow, what is that furry thing???? He/She reminds me of Falcor from the Never Ending Story!Thing with dogs is, they are not different species.
All dogs, whether beagle or greyhound, St Bernard or toy poodle are Canis lupus familiaris, just different breeds, much as tiger, long fin or red oscar are all Astronotus occellatus, and all variations of Betta "splendens" are the same species.
Sorry to hear about Mini, hard to lose.
Mini is the same species as mine no matter what the size or look.
Yes, we miss Mini very Much, thank you. Yes, I know all dogs ranging from tiny teacup chihuahuas to massive Caucasian Shepards are the same species....Dogs show the impressive diversity that humans have achieved thru selective breeding! I would go as far as saying that dogs have the most diverse spectrum of characteristics for an animal that belongs to one species, compared to all other animals that exist. In fact, IIRC, wolf x dog mixes used to be considered hybrids but now they are simply classified as wolfdogs (not hybrids) because both wolves and dogs are technically the same species, Canis lupus. Although, dogs (Canis lupus familiaris) are a sub species of the grey wolf (Canis lupus). Technically only animals which are classified as different species can hybridize, ergo we have the wolf dog and not wolf x dog hybrid.
They tell me its a Mioritic Sheepdog but probably a mutt, no papers, came from the pound.
Very much like most trimacs these days.
And RD, yep started at the end, but as you probably well know, I agree with all you wrote, with all the random crossing these days there is really no way to tell what's what, especially with the more popular species.
