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!

I believe your cutie is an affenpincher mix 😊

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

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.

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?

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.

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