Liz, male mules are always sterile but females occasionally do breed when crossed with a horse or a donkey - I am a mine of useless information!

"Mules are generally less tolerant towards dogs than horses are.[citation needed] They are also capable of striking out with any of their hooves in any direction, even sideways if needed." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mule

Yes it is Liz which is why it is hard to get a scientific name for this little guy. I could put its hybrid cross which I might do
CynthiaMHori
Thanks guys - this little guy is so friendly and has struck up a great friendship with my dog! Mule actually sees us and comes trotting over to sniff noses with Cali....I am greeted second!
