Hi, my name is Missy, and I am a poodle/maltese mix. I am 10 years old and according to my mom, the most precious dog in the world :) My former owners moved and left me alone in an apartment. I was so lucky to be found by my current mom and dad and I now live like a queen. A lot of people don't consider adopting mixed breeds, so I would like to introduce you to some of my mixed breed friends in the hopes that if you are looking for a dog, you will consider visiting your local animal shelter and offer a loving home to one of the many mixed breed dogs that are waiting to give you a life time of love and companionship. Like my mom says,
"We may be all mixed up, but we're the best!"
(Sadly, on May 24, 2003, Missy lost her battle with heart disease. Please read
her page and her memorials.)

She is 12 weeks old in the picture on the left and weighs 2 1/4 lbs. On the right, she is 16 wks old and weighs 3 pounds! Angel now has her own page! (On June 20, 2007, Angel will be 4 years old!

Truffle - 12 weeks


Truffle is Angel's sister and her owner is my twin sister! Truffle is slightly larger than Angel at 3 1/4 pounds.

Princess Princess is part shephard and part lab. One of the smartest and sweetest and soulful dogs I have ever known! She knows about 50 voice and hand commands. She lived and worked in the movies for about 8 years, then she retired at our house.
Parent: Dana McCabe, FL (She even looks like a little movie star! ~Barbara)

Elizabeth Elizabeth is a poodle/maltese and is really Ava Gardner. She weighs 9 pounds and has seduced us all including her boyfriend, Edward, a 14 month old Silky.
Parent: Johanna Angelos (I can see she has everyone wrapped around their fingers! ~Barbara)

Remy
Remy is a Poodle/Maltese mix that is currently 9 months old. He is a spitfire with endless energy and nobody is a stranger to him (to a fault - he would lick and play with a burglar)! In this photo Remy is wearing a lei that my wife and I brought back from our recent honeymoon.
Parent: Chris Pedersen (He is absolutely adorable - very sweet face! ~Barbara)
Keisha Keisha is a shepherd mix. We got her at 7 weeks old from an animal shelter. She is now 7 1/2 years old. This little lady is better behaved than most kids, and smarter than a lot of people She is intelligent and eager to please. The joy she has given us is undescribable. Her mother was a purebred white shep. Father unknown but several vets have guessed a mix with wolf or collie. Parent: Patrece Snow (Cute!~Barb)

Bo (Bocephus)Bo, short for Bocephus, is a mixture of 3 dogs, Father: Siberian Husky, Mother: part, Chow, German Shepard. He is a Big Beautiful Dog, and he will turn 1 on May 16th 2002. He is very smart, and finally out of the chew on EVERYTHING stage, and very loveable.
Parent: Nicole Vance (Wow - you are a big one, and very beautiful! ~Barbara)

MaxMax is about 3 years old now. He is our SPCA special. When we got him, we were told he was a Shepherd mix. I have been told by others that he has the marking of a doberman. Someone told me he walks like a hound. All I know is that he is the most unusual dog I have ever know. He watches TV and barks at all the animals - all the time. I really don't know what Max is, but I do know he makes us laugh. Parents: Pam & Jimmy Strother, VA (Whatever he is, he's a beauty! ~Barbara)

DarlaDarla just turned two years old and is half Yorkie and half Pomeranian. You can definitely see both breeds as her hair is more coarse in the back with the Yorkie black running through it but with a lot of poof in front and overall red like her daddy was. Her personality runs more toward the Pomeranian, very energetic but with the coarse terrier hair never gets matted and rarely needs any brushing at all. I definitely got the best of both breeds when I found her and wouldn't trade her for any purebred in the world! Parent: Shana Barnhill (I wouldn't trade her either!! She's beautiful! ~Barbara)

Kahlu "Kahlu." is 8 months old, and the SMARTEST dog. Vets think that he is part Rottweiler, and part Lab. Its impossible to tie him up anywhere, because he has learned how to untie knots! Parent: Harman Sodhi, VA (Way to go, Kahlu - keep untying those knots! You are a beauty - Barbara)
