| Jan 10, 2018 at 17:49 | comment | added | mhwombat | I thought a chimera was a creature with DNA from two different zygotes, and Wikipedia seems to agree with me: "A genetic chimerism or chimera (also spelled chimaera) is a single organism composed of cells with distinct genotypes. In animals, this means an individual derived from different zygotes, which can include possessing both female and male sex organs, blood cells of two blood types, or subtle variations in form." | |

| Jan 10, 2018 at 13:41 | comment | added | James Jenkins | I like this answer, it could be improved by including the species that dogs might cross breed with (which I don't think includes pigs, as implied in the question) | |
