Sharon Osbornes Ruby - Breed Type?

[Sky]

Does anyone know the breed of Sharon Osbornes dog called Ruby? She is another cutie. I am new to looking at smaller breeds and I find sometimes that I can not tell which breed they are- someties they look so different depending on how they have been clipped or groomed. This one looks a bit like a maltese but I don't really know.

I think it's a poodle mix or a Bichon Frise mix but i'm not sure, it's hard to tell with only one picture.

It is so gorgeous. I would love something like that little dog oneday. I was afraid you would say its a mix. Mixes would be hard to find wouldn't they? I thought breeders didn't cross breed.

What? Why would it be hard to find a mix? A true breeder wouldn't cross breeds. But mix breeds happen ALL the time.

I think Ruby looks like a bichon- shih tzu mix.

You are so right. There are lots of mixed breeds. I found heaps of Maltese cross with Shi Tsu, but I also think she is a Bichon Shih Tsu mix because of the curl in the coat. So cute. I might have to bring one home oneday.
