Of Crossbreeds...

I've noticed in Middle-earth that crossbreeds were an extremely rare occurence, and were I believe only known to happen between Elves and Humans. Why is this? Certainly, somewhere along the line there could have been crossbreeds unknown of, true? I'm pretty sure there was none ever between Elves and Dwarves, but what about Hobbits and Elves? Or Humans and Hobbits? Or maybe even Dwarves and Hobbits? Doesn't it just get you to thinking? I do believe there was a possibility for this, no matter how thin the string may be, their cultures weren't that disjointed from each other. What do you think?
