I have a wonderful companion, Keeshond. I want to find a stud for but i am not interested in a pure bred litter, i want to mix her with another breed, but i do not know what breeds are copatible, most suitable, or most healthy. I have been looking for a list all over the internet for compatible mixing breed's, but i am unsure if such a list exsists?Can anyone help? Thanks

first of all, why do you want to bring a litter of mutts into the world? there are so many unwanted puppies already. if you must, tho, consider the norwgian elkhound. they are about the same size, i think, and have great personalities. think about what you will do with the puppies. will you be able to find homes for all of them? do you have a place to keep them properly until they are old enough to go? please consider carefully before you breed your dog.

Bad idea to deliberately create mixed breed puppies. There are plenty of dogs in shelters who need homes. By having a mixed breed litter, not only will you be contributing to this problem by adding more mutts to the world, but you also may take away the opportunity of a shelter dog getting a good home. One of those families who may take one of these mixed pups, might have gone to the shelter instead and given a dog in need a forever home.Sorry, but deliberately breeding mixes is entirely irresponsible and there is NEVER a "good" reason to do it. Your dog may be a great companion, but that is not reason enuf to breed. There are thousands of dogs in shelters who will be just as good companion dogs as your may be. If you really want another dog, adopt... it's much cheaper and then you don't risk you dog dying as a result of pregnancy/whelping complications--yes, dogs do die from it and it's not as rare as some would like people to believe. You run the risk of losing your companion forever, and the entire litter as well.
