Mixed Breeds
My Fellow Comedists,
So TheWife has been beginning to think about dogs. Mixed breeds are much healthier than pure breeds and in terms of intelligence and shedding, poodles are a great dog to work into a mix. As a result, we now have lots of poodle mixes which are not only great pets, but wonderfully funny names. Cross a collie and a poodle, get a cadoodle. Cross a Maltese and a poodle, get a malti-poo. Cross a giant schnauzer with a poodle and get a giant schnoodle. I don't even want to know what they call a shih tzu/poodle mix.
So this week's question, what is the funniest dog breed name?
Live, love, and laugh,
Irreverend Steve
