Gene Puddler?

Why not cross the breed line?
(Like in "We can cross the color line, if we want").

Despite what dog books might have lead you to believe, dogs are NOT naturally separated into different breeds.

Some people, after looking through one of the breed based dog books, have concluded that different breeds of dog are different species - they are not.

Left up to the dogs, they will (size permitting) consider themselves all dogs, and Dobermans and Poodles, Boxers and Bassets, Pit Bulls and Golden Retrievers, will happily have puppies with each other.

It is PEOPLE who separate dogs from the big dog-canine gene pool, into little gene puddles called breeds.
