Mangalica – Pig/Boar

The Mangalica is not a hybrid in the real sense of the word. It sure looks like one though. With the features of both a sheep and a pig, it is a very strange member of the Suidae family. The Suidae family encompasses the entire pig and boar genus. A Hungarian pig bred for lard production, the Mangelica faced possible extinction in the 1980s. Breeding programs brought this wooly pig back from the brink. Their wool is not suited to any type of product, but they are prized for their meat and lard.

Bernedoodle – Bernese Mountain Dog/Poodle

If you love dogs, you will genuinely fall in love with this unique crossbreed. The Bernedoodle is not a genetic hybrid. It is the product of cross-breeding two breeds of dog, as many dog breeds have come about. Namely, the Bernese Mountain Dog and the Poodle. The result is a good working dog that also has decent guard-dog instincts. This combination of traits is less common than one might think, making this a popular mixed-breed pooch.
