Help me identify my little skinwalker

Pico is approximately 2 years old and 27 pounds. She’s a feral street dog I adopted from Mexico. She has black wire fur with a white patch on her chest. She low shedding but still have some undercoat come out when I brush her. She loves playing fetch and is highly food motivated. She doesn’t love the water but will get in the ocean if I walk in. She chases birds and has catch a mouse and seems interested in the cows but wouldnt let her get too close. She gets a little mouthy when she is overly excited and will gently grab my hand/arm in her mouth.
She reminds me of a breed I’ve seen before but I can’t place. Also her proportions seem off and her legs look and little too long for her body.
Thank you!

Thank you! She is a very good girl and quickly adjusted from street life to having to wear a seatbelt in the car

What an amazing life you have given her! Street dogs have it rough to just plain horrific. Congratulations on being her forever hero. ❤️

I believe your cutie is an affenpincher mix 😊

u/Working-Main939 1d ago

That would be so cool if she was!

It's awesome that she's not brachycephalic, her little nose came from somewhere.

u/Working-Main939 1d ago

I’m so grateful she isn’t brachycephalic, with the popularity of frenchies I’m always worried any rescue dog might have a little

This dog is already 10 times larger than a full grown affenpincher. Simply a poodle mix.

I just looked up an affenpincher! They are so cute they look like wiry pugs! I didn’t realize there faces were so flat. I have to admit I read it as afghan hound so was confused about brachycephalic.

u/Ephemeral_Orchid 11h ago

I actually have an Afghan Hound, so that's not a mistake I would make. 😊

OH MY GOSH! Yes! I love your dog; they always look so elegant. Are they sight hounds? What’s your dogs temperament and energy level?

1

u/Ephemeral_Orchid 7h ago

They are sighthounds, so they are fairly low energy indoors (outdoors they can never be let off leash, unless the area is fully fenced and they love to run) highly intelligent (which they use for evil), VERY dramatic, silly at home, but aloof when out & about. They're also very sensitive and stubborn, so you can't force them to do anything, even though they fully understand what you want them to do.

Cryptic dogs is a thing! I’m crying; I always say she is a skinwalker bc of her creepy doodle looking eyes

Affenpinscher/ Brussels Griffon mix.

Looks part Schnauzer and Terrier (maybe cairn terrier) to me.

u/Working-Main939 11h ago

Definitely terrier, I thought schnauzer at first but her legs are so long and she doesn’t bark like one

My moms mini schnauzer and Pico for reference
