Never been a fan of people crossbreeding animals to make twee little pets like the Cockerdoodle etc. I think it was started by some Aussie when he had a song called Ptarmigangaroo Down Sport.

Took me a bit longer than I'd care to admit before I got that.

Find dogs generally annoying stupid animals, though I do like collies and Belgian sheepdogs. Basically dogs that still look a bit wolf and haven’t been messed around with through crossbreeding.

And labs, they are usually pretty mellow dogs.
Staffies can fack off.

all dog breeds are the same species...it's not really hybridisation
mule = donkey x horse
liger = tiger x lion
are true examples of hybrids
in the wild hybridisation occurs naturally between related species as the definition of a species is really just a made man thing:
examples:
red wolf is a hybrid grey wolf/coyote population
modern humans...we also have admixture from related species such as neanderthals and denisovans

I actually knew a bloke called Dennis who lived in a campervan. Does that make him a Dennisovan?

Having just googled it I can now call an idiot in a pub a Denisovan instead of a Neanderthal. At least it would delay the puch-up until he has googled it himself and give me time to finish my pint and stroll to the next watering-hole.
