Deciding Upon A Doggy Breed: A Lot More Modest Pups And Mixed-Breeds

 

I love old movies with Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers. In 'Shall We Dance', Fred and Ginger are sailing across the Atlantic on the Queen Anne. Ginger stops at the ship's busy kennel and takes out her dog. Whilst Fred, Ginger and her dog walk back and forth on the deck, the little dog actions on its sleeve and ruins its sweater. How adorable! Standing by the rail, Ginger holds her fluffy-faced dog while Fred sings "I've Got Beginner's Luck." Can you guess the breed of dog? My personal opinion is this cute dog is a Maltipoo rather than a Havanese or Bichon Frise. Agree? There are numerous great modest dog breeds.
