Skunk Cake is a modern hybrid whose precise evolutionary history remains undocumented. While it is known to be descended from Skunkdog Bx1, its exact origins are otherwise unconfirmed, as breeders have not provided a comprehensive lineage or a definitive account of its development. Due to these thin records, its history remains a subject of ongoing inquiry rather than established fact, reflecting a common trend in the documentation of contemporary hybrids where detailed
