Worst breed mix ever?

Okay dog section regulars! With all the "designer mutt" craze, I wonder: what is the absolute worst mixed breed you could think of? (It doesn't have to be anything that's been done or even could be done.) Just based on health issues, structural problems, etc., what dogs would you never ever want to see mixed together? Oh, and use the typical pet-store unhealthy-as-sin standards for the breeds, not the well-bred versions.





For example: Westie and Bichon. The badly bred ones of both breeds have AWFUL skin, yeast infections, hot spots, hair loss, allergies, etc. Combining them would practically guarantee severe skin problems. (Not to mention some nasty tear staining.)





What else can you guys think of?

Worst breed mix ever?
I was horrified when I heard that the Jug jack russel X pug often does inherit the jacks hyper activity level and the pugs breathing problems. There apperently ARE jugs that run around till they pass out due to lack of air.....
Reply:labrador and poodle..ladradoodle!
Reply:pitbull x staffy. Its real, its fricken dangerous too
Reply:people need to let dogs breed with there breeds..and stop playing god!
Reply:bulldog and a shih tzu = a bullshit lol
Reply:pitbull crosed with a japanise akita ive realy got 1 his name is demon hes realy big and cute but dangerous ....
Reply:I never understood the Puggle. Cross an extremely hyperactive dog with one that is prone to breathing problems, and you get a dog that wants to run three miles but is wheezing by the end of one.





Of course, this is discounting the absolutely ridiculous ones like Chifoundlands or Yorkshire Danes.
Reply:I would have to say the Chinese Crested and Chihuahua mix. These won the ugliest dog contest ever.

Way to much contrasting instinct


The solitary and the social


The dominant protector of an individual combined with the hunting and killing instincts of a wild animal.





Real pretty animals, but that is as good as it gets.
Reply:I dont know exzactly how bad this is compared to yours,


a dalmation ad a yorkie, dalmations are prone to being deaf and or gout, while the yorkie can have,earlytoothdecay Bronchtis, poor tolerance of anaesthetic, and sensitive digestion.
Reply:Ok, I don't know if anyone remembers this, but someone posted a question asking, "Is this a puppy mill?". Well, we clicked and it was definitely a puppy mill. No doubt. I was scrolling and looking at all of the mixes and there was this POOR, POOR puppy at the bottom called, "Walrus Dog!". It was so sad!





It was a Shar Pei/Bulldog cross. I can't find a picture, but if you can imagine all of the characteristics of both dogs together, you can see them saying it looks like a walrus. It was terrible because they were all like, "Look, it's the new fad!"





Can you imagine the serious BREATHING problems that dog would have? Also, from the Shar Pei, the coat/skin would be a lot to handle as well!


Grr.
Reply:pit bull x bassett hound, pit bull head on a bassett body just too funny looking
