Hello, I recently adopted a bichon/terrier/poodle mix from a bichon rescue group, but I just don't see much Bichon! haha--not that I mind at all, but supposedly Dad is a poodle/bichon and Mom is a terrier. However, no word on type of terrier, nor any guess on weight as adult. Although she is just over 10lb at this time, and again, the age guess is around 4 months right now. Her fur was totally soft/fluffly/white all over, but in the last couple weeks, a wavy, more coarse, almost apricot "stripe" seems to be coming through the middle of her back. I would LOVE to know about how big she will be full grown, and also what type terrier,etc...Our other dog is a 5yr old male French Brittany, and we got him from a breeder, so we saw the Mom/Dad. This time around,though, I wanted to rescue, and my only hope was a small light,female,family-friendly dog.
I am also dealing with her fear of new people and dogs when we are walking, but just bought a book on helping dogs overcome their fears, so no post on that yet. But I am sure I will be back to ask more questions as time goes on! It is so completely different having a small dog, who bascially prances around the house, vs. our busy, intense, 37lb Brittany who always wants to be out chasing squirrels. It's a great balance, though--they play awesome and he is so gentle with her. (crossing fingers that continues when she gets older). Thanks for any feedback!! I adore my fur family members and want to do whatever I can to be a good mom to them!
p.s. I am new at this, so if my pics don't come up, I will try again! They are on my profile page...
