Question
I have heard about mix breedings between a Lab and a chiwawa, called a miniature Labs. Is there such a thing? Are they good apartment pets? Where can I find information about them? I love Labs, but I know I shouldn't have one in an apartment. I would like to get the next best thing.
Answer
At this time, there is no such breeding of these two kinds of dogs that is recognized by reputable breeders or the AKC. Unfortunately, any breed of dog that has any retrieving bloodlines will still require a considerable amount of exercise no matter what the size. Most of your sporting breeds should at a minimum have an hour AM and PM for exercise.
