Can? Maybe. Should? No. I'm very much so against hybrids because even if the breeder markets them properly the buyers could breed them to one of those 2 species and sell them as a pure animal, thus "muddying the waters" so to speak.

Because they are of completely different genus it's highly unlikely that it would be possible. Generally animal species can only interbreed with others in the same genus if at all; many species of animals can't breed with others in the same genus. If they could, they probably would be infertile. There may be a slight possibility... don't know until it's tried.
