What do you get when you cross a....

The other day I was at a convenience store picking up the Sunday paper when a man walked into the store with his dog. Everyone in the store stopped what they were doing (even the clerk) to get a better look at this dog.
I could tell that this dog was part German Shepherd but I had never seen one with such short legs. When asked what type of breed his dog was that man answered with, part German Shepherd and part Dachshund.

What strange crossbreeds have you come across?
