Are the Toy Trawler Spaniel and the Taigan breeds both extinct?
Toy Trawler Spaniel The Toy Trawler Spaniel is an extinct breed of Spaniel which physically was similar to the King Charles Spaniel of the 16th century. It is considered to have descended from the original King Charles Spaniel, and the older variety of Sussex Spaniel. It was originally used as a sporting dog, but became used as a toy and show dog. It was considered to be on the verge of extinction by 1920. A preserved specimen is kept in Tring at the Natural History Museum.
Tigon A tigon ( ) or tiglon ( ) is a hybrid cross between a male tiger ("Panthera tigris") and a female lion ("Panthera leo"). Thus, it has parents with the same genus but of different species. The tigon is not currently as common as the converse hybrid, the liger; however, in 1961, Gerald Iles wrote that he had been able to obtain three tigons, but he had never seen a liger.
