Hybrid

Hazel and I have discussed getting a hybrid. We have considered the various qualities and characteristics we would prefer. We do not plan to do anything soon as we do not want to be tied down to the attendant obligations. And, there is a bewildering assortment out there. Labradoodles, labrahounds, dorgi, dorkie (have met a few of them), eskifon, bagle hound, be-apso, wauzer, puggles, whoodles, and more. Its tempting to get one for its name alone. Check out dogbreedinfo. There are some purebred dogs which I dislike and really put off by the idea of a mix of two such as the jack-rat-terrier. Just not my type.

What totally confuses us is this thing called mileage. What does mpg have to do with dogs? Isn't an Escape a cross between an American Eskimo and Chesapeake Bay Retriever?
