Dawn: Well, to be honest we don't really know yet.
Vernon: Paige is sorta the first...well, first in a long time in terms of really dramatic cross-species hybrids. And considerin' she's just a little over a year old, we're kinda...learnin's stuff as we go.
Dawn: While the door is sort of open now for hybrid lambs and pups and what have you, it's still quite hard to achieve depending on the genetic gap between the parent species. Granted, Paige being born has led to an...*ahem* uptick in mammals trying the old fashioned way more aggressively...at least, if some of the fan slash advice mail is anything to go on. But medical science has just really gotten started figuring things out in terms of hybrids, and I imagine it will take some time for them to create and offer medical procedures that can help with cross-species fertility and viability. I kind of imagine this is the kind of question we'll have more concrete answers for thirty to fifty years from now, when we actually have a number of examples to go by.
Vernon: That said, Paige seems fine...o' course both me and Dawn come from species that basically...share similar climates. Now iffin' Giselle and Wade somehow manage to have a pup...er' cow, er' whatever y'alld call it, maybe there'd be something to worry about.
Dawn: Goodness, can you imagine a ...Girolf? Waffe? It would be so tall...!
Vernon: Or, it'd be real short for somethin' that looked like a giraffe... *Chuckles*
