Please welcome the Bog and Deep!

"The Bog (bull/dog cross) was first created in Mexico near the mid-1800's as part of an experiment to produce a fiercer opponent for bull fighters. The Bog however turned out to be a relatively docile creature and so their breeding was halted. Bull/dog crossing picked up again for a short time (6 years) in the 1950's in Texas due to the efforts of a private rancher who aimed at creating a more intelligent breed of cattle with increased strength for working activities. Again however the Bog proved to be nothing but a failure. These new Bogs often displayed extreme friendliness towards humans and in their over zealous attempts to greet their owners, were known to have crushed at least 10 people. Breeding of the Bog was quickly halted out of fear that they would claim even more lives. As this dramatic photo shows ( [url]http://tinyurl.com/6buke[/url] ), such fears were not to be underrated."

"The Deep was created in 1965 through interbreeding dogs and sheep in an effort to create a guard animal for sheep that could bond to them more closely than traditional livestock guarding dogs. The Deep, a very friendly creature, lacked the mental independence however to actively guard sheep flocks. It might have had a chance as an attractive pet if not for its inability to be house trained."
