Technically, yes - although I would say that because they are so far apart in physical characteristics, that the puppies would either spontaneously abort because they would not likely form correctly or, if they were born, they run the risk of being seriously defective.
For instance, poor selection of cross breeding often leads to hip problems because the puppies get the hips of one breed and the legs of the other or heart problems where the heart is the wrong size for the chest etc. Other defects like blindness and or deafness often occur when breeds that should not be crossed are bred.
It is a VERY bad idea to just experiment with cross-breeding because the end result could be very cruel and the puppies could really suffer.

All canines can interbreed, albeit certainly many would have to be by artificial means. But, why in the world would anyone want to? Dog breeds have been developed over many centuries. Many no longer really have a "function". But, the breed is continued out of "tradition". Some poor things have become so inbred they suffer all kinds of diseases and birth defects. But, people continue to breed them. I am one who does not think we humans have a right to "play God" in such a way. And these people think of themselves as "animal lovers". Baloney!

stud boston is not tying with female. Her fist time but he is used with other bostons. He mounts a lot but only seems to be causing a rash
