hybrid poodle chow chow???

Well I have to agree, he's adorable.

But personally, I think all puppies are adorable, even the breeds I find to be less desirable.

Yeah, I guess technically it's a hybrid. But in reality it is nothing more than a mutt. I mean for what reason would you want to breed together poodles and chows?

From http://www.omalmalamutes.com/omal/registries.htm - paragraph four. I think they said it well enough.

"A dog breed is not just what someone decides it is. It all goes back to genetics. While many breeds came from other breeds, our malamutes, being a "natural" breed are not like this. However, it's important to know that many breeds indeed did start as mixes of 2 or more other breeds. Nothing wrong with that. (I LOVE mixed breeds myself - my first dogs were a whippet mix and a rat terrier mix). But the key here is, mixes do not breed true. If you mix a chow and a poodle (we'll call them "choodles") - Do they breed true after that first generation? In other words, if you breed two "choodles" do you get baby choodles? I true purebred dog will do this....in fact they will continue to breed true even after several generations of throwing in other things. For example, if you take a malamute and were to breed it with a poodle mix - first generation (their puppies) would be a strange mix of poodle stuff and mal. However, say you bred the "moodles" to Malamutes. Suddenly you'd see all the puppies look WAY more like malamutes than poodles. Within one more generation you wouldn't even know there were poodles in there. The term for this is homozygous - in other words, the mal genes (due to years of breeding mal to mal) are so "strong" for malamute genes, you can throw something totally unrelated into the mix and they'll come out looking, acting and being malamutes. This is not true for a mix. Every generation will look more and more "mixed" - some puppies taking mom's characteristics, some taking dad's. To bring it back to our choodle example, second generation of our choodles will sort out to look either like chows or poodles - not retaining the characteristics of both mixed. Choodle to Choodle will not produce Choodle - it will produce Chows and Poodles (and not very nice ones at that). Why? Because Chows are a "breed" and Poodles are a "breed" but Choodles are not! This is how registries (at least the legitimate ones) determine what is a true breed - when it breeds true! If our Choodles consistently produce more Choodles, and the Choodles kids produce consistently similar Choodles - after a few generations we can probably say we have a new breed! A committee will be formed to examine the results and pedigrees - and a determination made as to whether Choodles are really a breed. (Warning: do not try this yourself! There are already too many dogs without homes out there and nobody remembers who created a breed anyway, so if you're looking for fame and fortune - take up something else!)"

Chow Poodle Mix

Oh god, where to start?

A hybrid is not a breed, regardless of whatever a scam artist breeder tries to tell you. A chiweenie, yorkipoo, etc is just a total mutt.

Your dog is only a puppy. You have no way to be able to make the claims that he isn't stubborn or aggressive. No puppy is that way; wait till he's an adult.

Also, his coat is going to be a nightmare when he hits 6 months-1 year and goes into coat change. You're going to be dematting him on a daily basis.

There are so many dogs killed in shelters every year, there is no point trying to invent your own dog breed. Especially chows-they have a notoriously bad reputation, and are not a breed that you'd want to hybridize. Their personalities aren't for everyone and can become aggressive.

You love your puppy, and he is cute, but get him fixed.

To make a new breed (of ANY sort of animal), it takes a lot of time and selective breeding . A breed isn't a breed until it can breed true... that means, the puppies will look like the parents each and every time.

Making a breed doesn't happen overnight, and it's not something you could do by yourself, really. It takes many generations and a lot of trial and error. So, it COULD be done over time, but not sure why you'd want to.

PS, a hybrid is a mating of two different species. Like, a horse and a donkey, or a lion and a tiger. A dog with a dog creates a mix, not a hybrid.

RE:

hybrid poodle chow chow???

well i was wondering if there was a way to have them become their own type of breed i guess like chapoodles? anywasy it might seem crazy but my puppy is half chow and half minature poodle the mother being the poodle

he is sooooo wonderful beyond belief.... he is smart ( picks up new commands in...

Please dont take this the wrong way or anything....But you shouldn't breed a mutt..Look at all the dogs that end up in the pound because people think it is okay to make new breeds....All along you can find a great dog at the pound allready with out adding more to the mix..

Also kittensl is 100% right.....chows are horrible to have in a child base familly...they have bad tempers..get the pup fixed

Please say this is a sick joke. The puppy is cute, but there is no such thing as a hybrid in dogs. There are mixed dogs and mutts, but no hybrids. Your dog is adorable, but don't breed him or try to start a new fad that will end with more mixes in the shelters when the fad wears of, or the dogs aren't what people thought.

get a mixed they are healthier. some reference you can get to read up on. All the scientific studies in this area have found that the average mutt is healthier and will live longer than the average purebred. Here are a few references: 1) B.N. Bonnett, A. Egenvall, P.

I hope you didn't pay alto for that dog, it isn't a hybrid it is nothing but a mutt. and someone scammed you into buying it.

oh well we all get duped once in a while

That's not a hybrid, or some new special "Breed", that's a Mutt!

Just have him fixed...
