Question
Hello Majo, how are you doing? I have a question about my dog's breed. I have him when he was 3 months old and now he is 5 months old. I am not too sure about what kind of breed he is. His name is Milou. Can you tell me more? His pictures are at http://www.geocities.com/clkoh73/milou.html
Thank you and your help will be deeply appreciated. Hope to hear from you soon. Bye for now.

Answer
Alex,
What a cutie! After looking at the pictures my first though is Shih Tzu. However there are a few other breeds such as Lhasa Apso, Kyi Leo, Havanese, and Lowchen that you may want to research and compare.
Additionally, he could very well be mix of any of these breeds or a popular combination such as, Poodle/Lhasa, Shih Tzu/ Maltese, or Lhasa/Shih Tzu. If you wish you can e-mail at my personal e-mail and I will send you back some related pictures of these breeds for you to use to compare him too. Regardless of his breed or mix, he is really adorable and looks like he has a lot of character. Please feel free to get back to me with any additional questions or concerns.
