I am a veterinarian in Los Angeles area.  My physician brother asked me if a 
wolf and a dog can mate and produce viable offspring, what about fox or coyote 
and dog?  
I told him I didn't know?  Is there a resource which discusses evolutionary 
genetic mutation with real time examples that look at chromosome compatibility?
Thanks for your comments or input.
