  • Collie + Lhaso Apso: Collapso, a dog that folds up for easy transport.
  • Spitz + Chow Chow: Spitz-Chow, a dog that throws up alot.
  • Bloodhound + Borzoi: Bloody Bore, a dog that's not much fun.
  • Pointer + Setter: Poinsetter, a traditional Christmas pet.
  • Kerry Blue Terrier + Skye Terrier: Blue Skye, a dog for visionaries.
  • Pekingese + Lhaso Apso: Peekasso, an abstract dog.
  • Labrador Retriever + Curly Coated Retriever: Lab Coat Retriever, the choice of research scientists.
  • Newfoundland + Basset Hound: Newfound Asset Hound, a dog for financial advisers.
  • Terrier + Bulldog: Terribull, a dog that makes awful mistakes.
  • Bloodhound + Labrador: Blabrador, a dog that barks incessantly.
  • Malamute + Pointer: Moot Point, owned by...oh, well, it doesn't matter anyway.
  • Collie + Malamute: Commute, a dog that travels to work.
  • Deerhound + Terrier: Derriere, a dog that's true to the end.
  • Poodle + Min Pin: PooPin, a dog for constipated people.
