| Our Pugshire |
| Our Pugshire has the head of a Yorkie and the body of a Pug, and his nose mid-way between the two. He is absolutely gorgeous and gets attention everywhere he goes. He does bark quite a lot, but not as much as a Yorkie. He does like to talk though! He is the most gentle dog. He is so friendly, and always wants to meet new people. He does lick quite a lot. We have had numerous comments on how he is the most kind natured dog people have met. Despite him being so gentle, he does have an extremely silly streak. He is bizarre at times! He is definately a big dog in a small dog's body, but he doesn't know that. He thinks he has the big body too. Excellent, very loyal and protective when needs to be. Not a very energetic breed, has outbursts throughout the day and then relaxes. Take for one walk a day between 30mins-hour. Can go for long walks (up to four hours so far) and will sleep for hours after. |

| Proud Parent of a Shihpoo |
| I've been the proud parent of my shihpoo for nearly a year and I couldn't be happier. My dog is two and is a joy to have. He is pretty laid back. He barks occasionally, but that's usually just at the doorbell. He loves everyone--he likes to give kisses and to have his belly rubbed. If there's something going on, he makes sure he's part of it. He does not do well when he's left alone. He tends to cry and whimper a bit, but as soon as I walk in the door, he greets me as if I'd been gone for 10 years. He is playful in random spurts. He has about three favorite toys that he plays with throughout the day, but he prefers to cuddle with others as opposed to entertaining himself. He puts up grooming really well. He is good in the bathtub and during brushings. Groomers always tell me how well behaved he is when I take him in for a haircut. If you're considering getting a shihpoo, do it! You won't regret it. |

| Poodle or Poogle |
| I don't believe it, but my supposedly pure poodle is in fact, a poodle beagle (according to a blood test submitted for DNA testing) But, Lucy Latte is the most loving, smartest, dearest little pup ever. She is Ms. Personality and everyone in my neighborhood knows her. Lucy is very fast, loves to fetch, wrestle with other pups, and licks my face. She also loves men! That must be the French poodle part. All in all, I love her. |

| My Kashon is the perfect companion |
| My Kashon is the perfect companion. She enjoys my company, but can be alone. She enjoys children and adults. She is occasionally a little aggressive when meeting other dogs, but with correction becomes playful. She loves walking and has a clock in her head: she knows exactly, to the minute, when she is supposed to go on her walk. She will rise from wherever she is and wait by the door for her walk. She rarely barks, but cries when she is frustrated or nervous. She is not a watchdog, but she is very smart and will sniff towards any change in the environment. |

| Pom Terrier |
| We have had our Pom Terrier for about a year and a half. Her name is Nutmeg. We wouldn't trade her for the world. She is a very active, friendly dog. She loves playing fetch and running laps like she is in a race. It is hilarious. Every time we return home she acts like she hasn't seen us in years when some times in reality we could be gone for just a few minutes. I am not sure why but she is scared of small children. She doesn't get aggressive towards them she kind of shys away. She likes to sleep in our bed some times. She will crawl under the covers and go all the way to the foot of the bed. It's pretty cool. She is a healthy dog other than her eyes water some. I am not sure if all of this designer breed has the same disposition, but if they do, they are a great companion dog. I would definately recommend them to anyone looking for that type of dog. She is also a great playmate for older children. |

| My Experience with my first ever Mal-Shi |
| I have owned a Mal-Shi for 7months and am enjoying the experience. My dog Angie and her sister Molly live with myself and my parents. So far we have found these dogs to be very loving and loyal. Both pups attended puppy classes and Angie has continued her training and is currently completing her intermediate level, she is always eager to please and both pups have been fast learners. |

| Our Shihpoo is Amazing |
| Our Shihpoo has been the most amazing little guy.He is so fun loving and has been outstanding with all of my children who range in age from 2-12. He isn't a yappy barker, he barks when needed. He is so smart too, when I acutally take the time to train him, he will catch on very quickly. He is energetic and loves to be with us wherever we go. He doesn't like to be left out at all and does get lonely if we have left him alone. He is one of the best dogs we have ever had. |

| Daniffs - A Great Dog |
| I have talked to several people that were turned of instantly to my dog when they found out she contained mastiff. My Daniff is a Presa Canario/ Great Dane. And i have to say it bothers me when people turn away from her just because of her breeding. The presa canario was bred for fighting so people instantly assume she is aggressive. people just do not realized the wonderful qualities of the Daniff mix. They are beautiful, intelligent and healthy. Because of my Daniff i took up breeding this specific cross and people turn away most of the time not by the temperment of my presa canario or my great dane but simply because of what they read about the breed. i own several dogs of several breeds and my Daniff is by far one of the best. She is a brindle and beautiful. She is smart and sweet. loyal and loving. I also have a couple puppies form my mastiff and dane and they are the same way. They are a great family pet. Willing to watch over your children. people judge a breed not from an experience with them but by what they read or are told. And it is a shame. If not properly socialized when you yes they can be protective with their family and unfriendly towards people they do not know but if tell socialized as a pup you couldnt ask for a better pet. i wouldnt trade my Daniff's for anything and would highly recommend the breed. |

| Pidge the Sharpull Terrier |
| I can't submit this without adding that I haven't had Pidge for long. My friends at work found her on the side of the road and I adopted her when she didn't work out in their home. She came to me very sick and underweight. We believe that she was owned by someone who abused her from all of her various scars and marks. She is a great dog and is fitting in well here but it has taken her a long time to open up and settle in. You can see in her eyes sometimes that it's been a long road for her. Her brother...Bronco... the Daniff also listed here on this site loves her very much, but he is the only dog she will tolerate. I think that she knew that she was home and decided to love him even though it goes against her instincts. She is a good dog, but both Shar-Pei's and Pitt Bull Terriers need an owner that is experienced and willing to take their training very seriously, especially if they have been abused. |

| Bronco the Daniff |
Bronco is a Gorgeous beautiful dog with a soft shiny Red Fawn and white coat, big and floppy ears and huge feet. He is still a bit of a clumsy puppy. I have to watch him closly so he doesn't hurt himself. He gets into everything. He broke a toe when he was around 4 months old. His tail is long and strong with a huge head. He's a fathead. His coat is very easy to clean, I just stand him in the shower! I brush him every couple of days. I haven't had a problem with shedding at all.
He is smart, funny, always curious, protective, laid back, loving, sweet.... I could go on forever. He's the biggest lap dog ever. Loves to be with me no matter what. He is smart... but stubborn at times. He really likes to play dumb dog when he's in the mood. He barks a little sometimes. It's not his fault though, my house was broken into when he was younger and he's still a little bugged out by weird sounds at night.
At nine months Bronco is already bigger in the chest than most Danes I've met. He is lanky, but his musculature is very pronounced. He's heavier than a Dane, yet less massive than a Mastiff. His bones seem a little denser than your average Dane. So far his hips are great. His hindquarters are much chunkier than most Danes I've met. He has great definition in his hips and legs. He eats lots.... twice as much as your average size dog. Bronco just hit 100lbs. He's 9 months old as of Feb 15th.
He doesn't have any allergies so far. His general health has been great. He did have demodex.... so no breeding for my big boy. He has big white teeth.... he's not a year old yet so I'm not sure how it'll go. His mom and dad's looked fine though.
Bronco is an apartment dog. He is great. Some chewing though. Walking every day is a must. We have been going to the dog park since he was 8 weeks old and he loves to run around out there. He has a wonderful loping gait. Sometimes he has problems stopping. I think his breaks are developing as he gets older! I think he would be wonderful with a family. He is protective, but he loves people and other animals. |

| Bichpoo - Precious in Peoria |
I recently purchased a beautiful, intelligent, playful, loving and friendly, (to everyone and all other pets, as well) Poochon. She is 3 1/2 months old and ways 2.7 lbs. She is learning very quickly and she's eager to please!
She is non-shedding and hypo-allergenic. She loves her brother and sister (a 4 yr. old Foxingese and a 12 yr.old Pekehund). She shares her toys or food without any show of aggression. She follows her 'mommy = me', everywhere.
I am looking forward to a long life together and I'd love to hear from other owners of this gorgeous hybrid! |

| Pekehund - Precious in Peoria |
I can not say enough wonderful things about this hybrid. I had 2 litters. My last little girl, Precious, is 12 1/2 yrs. old now. She is the last of her litter mates left. My female long-haired dachsund had 7 pups total. They all went to excellent families and I have kept in touch with all of them. Anyone who got to know these beautiful babies wanted one! Unfortunately I lost the father, my Peke, when he was only 4 yrs. old from an accident. That was 10 yrs. ago. The mommy, my long-haired dachsund was 12 when she passed. I miss them terribly!
Anyone who has gotten to know a Pekehund has experienced a joyful experience. From their beautiful eyes, their easy to manage coats and their loving personalities they are wonderful family pets. They get along well with all ages of family members, never meet anyone that they don't like, unless, of course, you don't like them! They are loyal, easily trained and absolutely precious!
One note: due to the nature of the dachsund, as they were bred for hunting small burrowing animals, they may not enjoy, or tolerate any animal other than a dog!

| Foxingese - Precious in Peoria |
I have a male Foxingese named Keenan. He is just over 4 years old now. He loves his family, especially his mommy.....me! He is smart and playful. He loves to dance. He stands on his hind legs, front paws stretched high and pawing at the air, and back feet just 'dancing' away. His coat is beautiful! He is white and buff colored. (I'll try to post a pic asap.) He does need brushed often and he does shed. But, he loves the attention, the brushing, the bathing and he doesn't complain at all, about being dressed up in doggy clothes, either!
He is a loving family pet; faithful and protective. Great watch dog. He lets you know if anyone even pulls up in the drive way. However, mine is timid, therefore, he continues to bark at strangers even when invited in, because he's afraid of them. My fault, I have spoiled him. We are working hard on overcoming this continued barking.
From his peke side, he's not especially fond of toddlers, but once they are older, he loves children. He lives with 2 'sisters'. A 12 1/2 yr. old Pekehund and a 3 month old Poochon.
I look forward to hearing any comments from other Foxingese owners.

| Our Chipoos |
| My husband and I own two of the most wonderful Chipoos in the world. If you have looked around much on this site or read the blogs you have probably come accros mention of them (Lacey & Logan). They are both sweet loving dogs with HUGE personalities. Lacey can be somewhat tempermental at times if Logan is trying to take a toy or do something she doesn't like. She likes to growl at him to let him know to stop, but it is always a playful growl. Logan is such a playful dog. His favorite pasttime is playing fetch. He will bring you the toy and set it on your leg and if you don't throw it in about two seconds he will nudge it or flip it up farther into your lap to be sure you can see it:). If you are too busy to play with him at the moment he will entertain himself by throwing the end of his rawhide bone around the room and boy can he throw it. He has landed it on the coffee table a few times and almost made it onto our counter the other day. If he is not doing that he also like to bury himself under any blanket he can fine. I have read that this is a very prominent Chihuahua trait. I hear a log of bad things about mixed dogs, but I would not trade these two for a million bucks! |
