Anyone a poodle-mix expert?

[Richard Crowe]

We rescued Haley from a Los Angeles shelter where she was in danger of being euthanized "because she was too shy to be adopted".  She would cower in back of the pen and never establish contact with prospective adopters.  However, she is lively and animated with us and has established a rapport with Judy and I.  She seems to love playing with our other foster dogs. She's a great little dog.

She's really a pretty dog and we suspect that she is a poodle mix of some kind.  But what kind of mix is the question? Can anyone take a guess what mix Haley is?

She is about twelve pounds and the hair she has left on her head is not poodle curly, in fact it is silky! Her coloring is somewhat like a schnauzer. Could she be a schnoodle?

If you really want to know get a DNA test.  They are available many places these days and very easy to do.  I have a pup we anticipate is a Jackapoo, but who knows.  Harpo picked him out as his new companion.  A breeder said she thought he was a mini labradoodle but we took one look and said no way.  Who knows?  But he is a great companion for Harpo and that is all we really wanted.

I vote for a papillon and mini or toy poodle--a papi-poo! I assume her body has been clipped short--but she looks a lot like these pups otherwise.

I have no idea what breed but I do know she is a cutie!

She is so cute and pretty at the same time.  She is so lucky that you found her.  Are you fostering her or adding her to your brood?

[Cheryl and Finnegan]

OMD she is very pretty. Chinese crested -- they have those distinctive ears -- and some kind of terrier? 

[Nancy, Ned, Clancy, and Charlie]

She is just adorable.  I'll bet she makes her new family very happy.

I agree with Chinese Crested and also think that a schnoodle (poodle + schnauzer) might be an idea.

Whatever she is, she is one cutie and has a wonderful personality.  I have a dual lead and think that she would look cute in a harness walking next to my terrier, Sasha...

I was thinking Chinese crested right off the bat too Donna. Not that I have ever seen one in person.

[Donna K & Quincy]

Strangely the first thing that popped into my mind was Chinese Crested so I googled it and up came this picture. She's a beautiful little thing and so lucky to be in your care.

[Kaitlin and Ludo]

I wonder, with those ears, if she might have some papillon in her? She's lucky to have been found by you!
