What really irks me is people calling them 'hybrids.' That shows their ignorance right off the bat. A hybrid is a mix between two different SPECIES, not breeds of dog. Guess they are just trying to find a way around calling their dogs what they are; mutts!
hy·brid   
–noun
1.the offspring of two animals or plants of different breeds, varieties, species, or genera, especially as produced through human manipulation for specific genetic characteristics.
2.a person or group of persons produced by the interaction or crossbreeding of two unlike cultures, traditions, etc.
3.anything derived from heterogeneous sources, or composed of elements of different or incongruous kinds: a hybrid of the academic and business worlds.
4.a word composed of elements originally drawn from different languages, as television, whose components come from Greek and Latin.

I have heard hybrid most often used to describe the intentional crossing of different breeds or varieties.

i dont know if its been said, but the first picture is not real... and if it is, show me more proof that the picture is real, more pictures of said dogs. a quick google search of ''corgi lab mix'' shows niether of those dogs would look as such
The first picture looks fake. If you look closely around the borders of the heads they are different from the bodies'. That is a pure bred lab's head on that photo and one of the Belgian dogs on the other. I call B.S.. The tall dog certainly does NOT have a lab's body either.
it's real
