Off-topic, Soup, but I absolutely adore your signature. Pits are the sweetest.

swedish_soup My friend just got one, Milo. He's adorable and lovable, but they paid a ridiculous amount of money for him. (3500, to be exact) I don't completely understand how big he's going to get. Apparently, he won't get any biggger than the average small sized dog, but his mother was a standard poopdle. A neighbor of mine has two labradoodles, both were supposed to be small and both are atleast as big as a standard poodle. How does that work? Supposed to be small.
It's all in the genes. I bet this won't be the last time you hear this from me if you decide to stay with the guild, but the liger can grow to enormous sizes, almost always significantly larger than their parents. Male lions pass on a growth-enhancing gene to their offspring, which is normally countered by a growth-stunting gene from the female. Thus, "normal" sized cubs are produced in "normal" breeding. When a lion and tigress breed to make a liger, there's nothing to neutralise that gene from the male.
I'm sure it's not like that for the poodle and labrador, but I think you get my point. Interesting stuff, genetics.

HI! I have read through most of your replies here. I have not heard of anything like this, even working for and with animals for the last few years. I know that they are however all the rage, but agree that they should not be all the rage. If anyone has any "hard facts" weblinks, reads, etc. I would appreciate any info I can get, I am quite intrigued now!! Poor pups if true razz
