I have a weird question...

I think about stuff like this all the time because it's interesting. Kopper is good friends with a female Giant Schnauzer in his class. Her owner and I talk abut how we could probably breed "Giant Shepauzers" and they'd be fabulous working dogs. Doesn't mean we'd actually do it.

No it isn't. Siren is on the lighter end of sable, her dam is fairly dark and her sire is THE darkest black sable I've ever seen.

LOL. I think things like that too. I've always thought a Catahoula/GSD cross would be neat, same with an ACD or Aussie /GSD cross. But I've NEVER been tempted to DO it. Even when I had intact dogs of the breeds mentioned.

No need. Just get a Panda.

Sooooo, if you bred a Shiloh to a Panda, would you get a Giant Panda?
