Well as a joke I bought my hubby a minature poodle (since he said he hated ankle biters), and we all love him! Then one day someone dumped off a shitz zu (sp)....we didn't realize that under all that matted hair, that she was not only been mistreated but she was in heat.....so we ended up with shitz poos and we kept one. Bear (poodle) Missy (momma) and their Lacey. Missy is missing teeth and deaf now, but very loved.
