That is beyond stupid-that is like having a cross between a lynx/bobcat and a domestic cat for a pet-an unpredictable, dangerous and probably very unhappy pet-I’m convinced that people who breed domestic pets with wild animals must secretly hate animals...

This is BF Egypt where I live-a rural area 35 miles from the city and 22 miles from the nearest “town”, so we do not have a lot of feral dogs-at least not if they are dumb enough to stay in the woods where a cougar has a territory. The game wardens say these aggressive, odd ones are coyote/dog crosses-but they definitely aren’t chupacabras...

I’ve read about the rescue and preservation of the red wolves with great interest-there were supposedly some in East Texas, but I read they were found to be bred with coyotes-what a shame.

You got that right.

I can't even wrap my head around "designer dogs", let alone wild/domestic crosses.

Who, for example, thought it was a Good Idea to mix Dobes and Standard Poodles?

Yikes!

They do have wild/domestic cat crosses, ya know.

What could possibly go wrong©?

The Bengal cat was created by crossing domestic and small wild cats. It works slightly better in the feline world, but generally I agree with you.
