No cat/dog mixes either. You cant mix genes that way. Not even in a lab.
I think you have grossly misunderstood my original post. I was only referring to Classified's statement about dogs.
Perhaps I should have been more clear in my use of the term "interbreeding". I meant that different breeds of dog can mate with each other, usually without issue (there's a whole industry based on it) and that the same thing applied to different breeds of cats. In fact, although it's not part of the official classification, I would place "Breed" under "Species" in the taxonomical hierarchy.
I was not implying that dogs and cats can mate with each other (male dog/female cat or vice versa) and produce hybrid offspring. And I certainly wasn't suggesting flying monkeys or any of the other fantastical hybrids you mentioned.

All breeds of dogs- including wolves, cyotes and housepets are still dogs and all breeds of cats still cats.
For one, wolves and coyotes are not different breeds of dog. They aren't even the same species (
Canis lupus
and
Canis latrans
, respectively). They are part of the same genus as dogs, though.
In your statement you're using the term "dogs" to represent the entire genus and "breed" to represent the different species within that genus. Those terms should only refer to a specific subspecies (
Canis lupus familiaris
) and the slight variations (breeds) within it.
I suppose "dog" could also refer to
Canis lupus dingo
(i.e. dingos), depending on where you're from. Some cultures use dog and dingo interchangeably, even though they don't really mean the same thing.
Quote:
There are slight exceptions like breeding donkeys and horses (both part of the Equine family) to get mules, but mules are sterile and cant reproduce on their own.
Which is why I mentioned ligers and tiglons. Both are also exceptions to the rule, and as far as I'm aware they too are also born sterile. And according to that article, we can now add Blacktip sharks to that list of exceptions, though I don't believe it said whether any of the 57 confirmed hybrid Blacktips are fertile or not.
