A German Shepard and Dachshund Mix?!

Temple, Texas's Director of Animal Services Walter Hetzel has a phrase to describe mutts of the most uncommon variety: "through the fence dogs."

What kind of coordinating went on through the fence to facilitate the mating of a German Shepard and a Dachshund we don't know.  Honestly, I don't think I want to know!

Result was this pup, Alastair by name. Like Napoleon Dynamite's beloved Liger was to big cats, I think we have the makings of a whole new breed of dog.

Temple Animal Services is located at 620 Mama Dog Circle in Temple, just off 31st Street and Avenue H. To learn about adopting this dog or one just right for you and your family, click here for the City of Temple Website. They also have GIFT CERTIFICATES so your loved one can pick out the perfect pet of their own.
