Wait a minute, that mule thing is actually a great example of nature stopping what was not intended by itself, i.e. making mules impotent.

Basically what I'm trying to say is that nature will stop itself from 'wrong' crosses. So Mexican Fireleg and a Baboon (sorry, I don't know the scientific names yet except for Brachypelma boehmi ) might then give you an impotent Baboonleg...

All dogs are the same species. Next example?

Once you get one spider, you will get more and you will be attempting breeding sooner than you think. Trust me. This hobby is addictive.

Why then do we try to protect our African Wild Dog? It's just a dog same as the Australian Wild Dog/Dingo?

What's the scientific name for a domesticated dog? And for a dingo? And what then for the Australian cattle dog that has both?

You shouldn't be able to breed two different genera, so you wouldn't be able to cross those two.
Like I said, as long as you keep all the hybrids to yourself, there should be no problem.
Once again, with everyone struggling to correctly identify spiders, why would you want to confuse the identification even more?
We have so many stunning tarantulas on offer, why muddle them up? There are few enough people breeding pure lines in the country and with the lack of imports, lets rather concentrate on breeding pure species.

Wif nature deems it possible to crossbreed a horse and a donkey (2 different species) to get a mule that's capable of breeding itself from that point on, who are we to tell nature it's wrong.

Mule's are sterile! thus not very good prove for your argument! sorry.

Not all mules are sterile ?
There are quite a few birth stories if you google

I am not sure of their scientific names, so can't comment.
Why do we protect the african wild dog???
I would personally want to show my kids one day what a wild dog looks like, not a cross between a wild dog and a husky. You?

Don't worry, found out African Wild Dog (Lycaon pictus) and Domestic Dog (Canis lupis familiaris) won't interbreed. But Domestic does with Dingo (Canis lupis dingo) and others from the Canis lupis group such as different sub-species wolfs.

...damn, this sounds way off topic?

Anycase, just examples. The point is as long as nature allows 'hybrids', I'm not apposed to it. Imagine 1000000 years from now when the african and south american continents collide our great, GREat, GREAT grandchildren might be keeping naturally occuring 'hybrids' that Ceratogyrus has bred himself way back in 2011...
