    What breed is my mutt?
    This is gigi. He is 10 lbs, black with a brown undercoat and white belly, has floppy ears, and a feathered tail that curls upwards. He is sweet and loving but also very playful. Any opinions on his breed(s) are welcome.

    Possibly a maltese/miniature poodle/sitzu (they wouldn't let me type the other words) and maybe something else I can't find a name for. Who cares, he is so darn cute ! You must love him to pieces.

    He looks a little like Bo, the presidents dog. I think he's Portuguese water spaniel. Maybe he is a mix of that breed.

    He looks exactly like my partners mothers dog... she is a Maltese X Silky Terrier. Yes, strange that a white dog and a tan/grey dog would produce that color but it can happen.

    There is no way to know for sure but I would put money on there being Maltese in there...

    He's a cutie. :)

    I would guess that he is probably a mix of toy breeds like Shazamataz said which comes down to "Eclectic Composite" (What my son decided mixed breeds are after a discussion about "designer dogs").

    He definitely isn't a Portuguese Water Dog.

Switching my puppy (mutt) to adult food? [ 5 Answers ]
