Dorgi

My royal correspondent tells me that a dorgi is a cross between a corgi and a daschund. She knows because the Queen has one. thedogdigest.com tells me that reasons for not mixing these two breeds include:

  • Requires Significant Amount of Daily Outdoor Exercise. At 94, I have a feeling that Her Maj won't be doing that herself - but I shouldn't be prejudiced by my own attitude to exercise
  • Has a Tendency to be Loud. Isn't that true of all dogs? Although to be fair I never heard my friend Tony's pug Lily utter a sound. Maybe they should cross breed corgis with pugs*. Anyway, Her Maj might need to turn down her hearing aid
This is a lockdown dorgi:
Apparently, if you cross a corgi with a husky, you get a horgi. No, I'm serious!

Crossing an Australian Shepherd with a Poodle gives an AussiePoo. That's what Buzzfeed says. No sniggering!

What do you call a cross between a zebra and a donkey? Easy, it's a zonkey.

A cama is a cross between a camel and a llama.

What amazes me is how these come about. Why do they do this? And who are "they" anyway? Or are animals in the wild just not picky?

*And by the way, a corgi+pug mix is a porgi. Not a porky, and I don't tell those.

Enough.
