It Takes Two!

Create a Dog

Even though you might not invent a viable combination of breeds, have fun creating a dog by choosing any two breeds from the list below and uniting some or all of the words. Shorten the name of each breed as needed, mix parts of words, or put together a first and last syllable to invent your own hybrid dog. Once you’ve “named” your new dog, draw a picture as you imagine him, and write a caption to describe who he is and what he’s doing. Once you're done, share your description with other Flashlight Readers on our message boards! Remember: pretend dogs can do pretend tricks and amazing stunts!

Be sure that your description does not include any personal information about you. Do NOT include your full name, your email address, your school name, or any other identifiable facts that could give away who you are and where you live.
