OMG!!! That would be fantastic!! The only down side is that the only way to maintain the breed is through inbreeding. But I'd rather have inbred babies than no babies at all, lol.

I haven't clicked the link yet, but if he's the last of his species, the offspring would only be half of his species and half what ever species he bred with, so would it be a new species or eventually, his species would be bred out?
