My mom had Chihuahua's; two short-hairs both named Buffy, and a long haired one named Muffin. Muffin was red like my mom's hair.
I gave my Dad a Shih tzu the same time I got Brandi, my first Shih Tzu. They were so sweet, we fell in love with the breed.
Your Pomchi sounds adorable! I've heard of mixing breeds and just recently heard about a Shih Tzu and a Brichon mix called a "bear". Seems they are on the internet somewhere. SOunds interesting, doesn't it?
I really like your thread and am on the ping list. Thanks for the many tributes to our fighting folks. They deserve every bit of support we can give them!
I will be back later this afternoon.
Have a great day, HOB.
Yes, I've heard them called "designer" breeds, or "hybrids". My little Pomchi is more "Chi" than "Pom". In fact, no one would even know he has any Pom in him...except for his face. He doesn't have the long fur, but neither does he have the really short Chihuahua coat either. It's a short, thick pelt. Anyway, we love him to death. He is going to be three April 15th, but the poor little thing has already had to undergo back surgery for a disc problem. He had the surgery the middle of January and has recovered really well. He is worth every penny we have spent on him.
Do you have photos you can post of your little ones? I would love to see them.
I am so happy you enjoy this thread. :-)
