Whatever you call them, pups Arnie and Angel could be the first of a new breed.

Cath and Graham Wilson think they might have uncovered a new breed of dog after their Dalmation Tom mated with their seven-year-old Bernese Mountain Dog Cassie.

Cath and Graham, of Croston, Lancs, have dubbed the two unlikely puppies Bernations.

I’d call them kind of cute.

You can not call a puppy ugly, but...

These guys are not going to win a beauty contest.

Ping!

have dubbed the two unlikely puppies Bernations.

Well, I call mine a Dalbrador, but so far, they haven't actually recognized her as a breed ;~)

I'm glad you had the guts to post that. Maybe people will flame you instead of me for saying that those pups give a new definition to 'dog-ugly'.

I don’t think they’ll be ugly. The only thing that could detract is the paled-gray flecking covering their faces. Of course, this is all my speculative opinion because they aren’t grown yet.

I like that their marking patterns seem rather symmetrical. I’m not much into asymmetry a`la the sire’s breed. Also, I like husky dogs, so their apparent big bearing may make them appealing to me.

Those Dalmatians get around.

Gidget still looks to me like a husky German Shorthaired Pointer.

And count me in as one of the ones who thinks those puppies are UUUUUGGGGGly! I think it's the eyes and the shape of the head.

And why do they have two unaltered animals of different breeds in the same house, anyway?

I think they’re kind of cute! But I do have a boxer-pei (boxer/shar-pei mix) who should be a recognized breed.

Good questions AAM :~)

I do think the pups are pretty cute... but they’re accidents...

They’re adorable. :) I would love to have one. One of the funniest dogs I have ever seen was a dalmation/beagle mix. It had the body of the beagle and the dalmation spots. Sweet dog.

I hate it when they start messing with the gene pool.
