What breed is my dog?
Asked Apr 4, 2009, 07:04 PM

14 Answers I don't know my dogs breed,  When I first got Coco I was told that he was a miniature poodle and since he was a present I didn't ask many questions (my mom sent him from Costa Rica). Right now he is 9 months old and a lot of our friends think that he is a hybrid breed. My mom asked the breeder and he insist he is a pure breed poodle.I'm very curious to know what is he, can someone help me? I attached some pics of my little devil. Thanks for your help |

| Starbuck8 agrees: After looking again, I also think he could have some Maltese in him. I think you might be right. | ||||

| One thing is pretty much for sure, and that is he is not a purebred poodle. Poodles have distinctive qualities that your dog doesn't have. They have a long nose, longer curly ears, a tight curled coat etc. Take a look at this site. Click on all that have "poo" on the end of them, and it's a really tough call. She could be a mix of one or more of the small breeds. Chi-poo, Terri-poo,...well, and the list goes on. http://puppydogweb.com/gallery/ | ||||

| The most important thing isn't his pedigree, its his heart! He's no less of a dog if he doesn't have a full bred title. He's clearly a handsome little thing no matter what his mix is. | ||||

| I think he is absolutely adorable... I love poodle mixes. We owned a Lhasapoo that looked just like him in chocolate brown. | ||||

| Get him clipped like a poodle, especially his face..........a lot of people will mistake him for a mix because lets face it......poodles aren't pretty unless groomed EVERYDAY......unless you can prove he is or isn't poodle.....clip him the way you want him clipped......I've only known a handful of actual "show breeders" be able to tell what a dog truly is by a little picture on a website.......and if he is a miniature.........and not an oversized toy.......he WILL look different because they are a bigger dog and have a different definition than that of these scrawny things people like to call teacup (dont get me started on this definition) which means "teacup" is actually smaller and incorrect than what the breed standard is SUPPOSE to be.......get some history on the pup, then decide.......I have rescued many poodles who look like mixes, but after shaving them and taking them to a "show breeder/vet" they can define what they really are...........Good luck........ | ||||
