Does animal interbreeding cause problems with classification?
Animals will normally breed within their species. This causes no problems with classification. One definition of species is those animals that breed with each other. Interspecies breeding is only partially successful in closely related species. It is well known to happen between lions and tigers, horses and donkeys, and donkeys and zebra, but only if the animals are in captivity without possiblity of breeding with the correct mates. The offspring are always sterile. Some cases, such as wolves breeding with domestic dogs, the interbreeding is entirely successful, and offspring are not sterile, which would tend to indicate that wolves and dogs are not a different species but are subspecies. Animal sub-species do interbreed successfully. Sub-species are very closely related and although the animals may look slightly different, they are of the same species.
What would happen if humans and canines reproduced?
They cannot. Should the sperm and egg of these two species meet, nothing will happen. Nature does not allow it. Only animals of similar genus - like lions and tigers, or horses and donkeys, can conceive outside their species. Most of the time their offspring is sterile.
