Yes! a cousin of mine is aware of a case of a female Bulldog that is not l00% female and therefore is an Hermaphrodite, and as such, could not breed or be bred- important factors for dog shows, where improving the breed is a paramount concern, they animal is a tolerant, and tolerable pet, however. She tends towards the female and is considered to have a female dog personality.

Hermaphroditism in dogs is mostly SRY-negative XX sex reversal. Meaning that for some genetic reason females (XX) become male sex organs. It is reported in a number of dog races. In some it is considered inherited.

I don not know how rare it is, there is no central register and vets mostly are unaware or do not report it. Maybe you could ask this question at the Baker Institute?

I dont believe so, but im not sure. I have a lot of experience with snakes and have never heard of a hermaphrodite snake.
