Help my guess my dog's true breed?

Quote: I would have guessed the dog in your photo had pekinese in there. I am *so* bad with small dog breeds. XD I do love the 'Shavanese' though, having stumbled upon them on a random search, and reading about their personality...and less coat care then their fuzzy brethren. X)
 
Magnolia...wow....those ears are exactly the same. Small, folded with not tons of hair. Gypsy...I don't see Cavalier King Charles mainly because of the length of their ears which are long and furry...like spaniel ears. Watchdog....pom...not sure about that. That's one breed I never suspected because she has nothing in common except for maybe ear size. peeka52....I do see possible Sheltie. The face and ears have always reminded me of a sheltie we had growing up. Punk-a-doodle......I don't see pekinese at all. The ones I am familiar with are much more low slung, mashed faces and very long ears. I really do think she must be either a chi/pap, a chi/Shavanese, or possibly a chi/sheltie. I don't know where the couple who had her parents got them. they may have been puppy mill dogs for all I know and puppy mills are loaded with little fancy breeds so it could have been anything. Regardless, she is a beautiful little girl that's brought an awful lot of joy to this home. I do sincerely appreciate everyone's input.

I honestly think she is just pet quality chi. I have seen them with floppy ears, wrong coats, oversized etc. Which in those too, there may be something else, but if it is it's a little way back, like a great grandparent was a mix, but the rest were pure. She's def not half and half anything. Her face and coloring are almost identical to my Angelina. Angelina doesnt have the white and she is smooth coated, but she has that sable and tan pattern.

oh yeah I know she's not half and half anything. I saw her parents....they looked like each other. But back then I wasn't really too concerned (or knowledgable) about quality or health genetics (I know.....BAD idea but in this case it worked OK). I wanted a long coated chi in the worst way and she came from a loving home environment rather than a puppy mill so I got her. You are probably right about her just being a pet quality chi or whatever is mixed in it's way back. One of her parents might have been half and half, but I don't recall them looking any different than she does.
 
i want to say that she has a bit of Shetland Sheepdog in her.After having been a groomer for 17 years and working dog rescue for about 40 years...that's my guess..
