What if someone started mix breeding dogs and by the time they're done they'll have every single breed in that one dog?
What would it be like? One ugly mut?

It would probably be a medium sized brown/black generic mutt dog.
And to create such a dog thousands and thousands of puppies would have had to be produced.

That's unfair to say it'd be ugly, it might actually look pretty cool, I'd honestly really like to see that, and it would probably take years, and so much of your money, there's a reason no one has done it. Because it would be expensive, take years and years of breeding, probably accidental breeding of the same breed of dog if you lost track, and all for what? Some random mutt that could be defective, have bad health problems, causing them even more money, and live anywhere from a year to 15, 20 years.

Lol. Dogs that aren't bred to look like any standard or to do any job tend to look like a generic pariah dog. Examples of this are Australian Dingos and Carolina Dogs. Both developed independently in different regions of the world but look very similar: small/medium size, medium length hair, golden tawny color.
Some dogs are "natural breeds" that people didn't breed specifically, but they did use them as working dogs so they naturally developed to look a certian way. (For example, Salukis.)
However, dogs that bred on their own without human intervention and were required to survive on their own are known as pariah dogs. The Dingo and Carolina Dog are the purest examples of this. However, if you go to some tropical locations where the dogs run semi-wild you can see that they all eventually bred to a certain generic dog look.
I don't know if a dog had every single breed in its genes--that's still a person breeding. But I'd still think that after some 300 breeds (or are you just playing with the 160-odd AKC breeds?) it would definitely begin to have a very generic, pariah-dog look.

I am sure you have seen, either on National Geo. Channel, or Discovery Channel...countries where dogs run wild all over the streets??????? THAT is what they end up looking like. Medium sized, prick-eared,curly-tailed,short coated MUTTS!

One very interesting-looking mutt, considering there's so many shapes and sizes in the canine world!

yep, one ugly mutt. It would be impossible to tell what they have in them.

It would be a wonderful dog. There are no ugly dogs. I love "mutts"!

i thinks it wrong to breed two different types of dogs.
but that is just my opinion.
