No, a mule is considered a hybrid as it is half donkey half horse, and donkeys and horses are not different breeds but different species (although they are in the same family). Mules are good as they have the characteristics of both donkeys and horses. They cannot breed due to an irregular number of chromosomes although there have been a very small number of reported times when they have managed.
