In a recent and exciting announcement, Clementine Wexford, a British Magizoologist, has announced her success in creating a Half-Crup. Ms. Wexford has dedicated two decades of her life perfecting the hybridization of Crups and muggle canines. As a muggleborn, Ms. Wexford was saddened to learn that her beloved Crup, Pippin, could not visit her parents due to Crups aggressive nature towards muggles. Ms. Wexford has also been outspoken against the removal of Crups' secondary tails, calling the practice 'barbaric'. She began to dream of a solution that would allow magical and non-magical worlds to coexist in loving furry companions.

"My goal was simple, really," Ms. Wexford explained, "I wanted to create a magical companion that retained the loyalty and intelligence of a Crup without its aggressive tendencies towards muggles."

The lengthy period between the start of her research and success was in part to keep her breeding practices ethical. To achieve the peaceful half-breed Ms. Wexford turned to dog breeds she found particularly friendly, such as the Golden Retriever. "I'd like to reassure the public that every one of my furry helpers have a loving home, with some of them remaining by my side. Each generation became less aggressive towards muggles. The friendliest were bred together until I found a combination that is nothing but friendly towards muggles."

Half-Crups have a slightly less pronounced fork, making it easier to conceal when traveling through muggle communities. Half-Crups also have a nose for uncovering magical items and tend to form stronger bonds with magical people, but also are easily trainable, much like their dog ancestors.

Wanting the breed to be available for all loving wizarding homes, the first litter of half-Crups will soon be available at Diagon Alley's Magical Menagerie before the end of November.
