I wish I'd taken a picture...

camwynToday when I was in Penn Station getting a train ticket to get to my parents' place, pick up the car, and go visit my sister and nephew in hospital, I spotted a fellow on line with a long, low-slung black dog on a leash. It seemed awfully solid-built about the head for a dachshund, but too light-boned for an off colour basset, so I crouched down and held out a hand. When the dog seemed pleased with the smell of me, I started petting him and asked his owner what he was.
... how the hell do you cross breed a dachshund and a black Labrador, anyway? never mind, I don't want to know...

...wow.
With a female lab, I hope. I really hope.

They put them in a pasture with a shetland pony stallion. Apparently, the presence of the stallion will bring them into season, but the poor boy is too short to do anything about it.
Needless to say, "shetland on a step-stool" became an inside joke with the family. ;)
