Description

The Pootalian is not a purebred dog. It is a cross between the Italian Greyhound and the Poodle. The best way to determine the temperament of a mixed breed is to look up all breeds in the cross and know you can get any combination of any of the characteristics found in either breed. Not all of these designer hybrid dogs being bred are 50% purebred to 50% purebred. It is very common for breeders to breed multi-generation crosses.

"This is my dog Coco at about 1 year old. He is an Italian Greyhound/Poodle mix (Pootalian as we were told). He is very friendly but also very protective. He doesn't like it when people fight at all!! He loves to run with his long legs!! He also loves to play fetch!! Sometimes he will be naughty and get into the garbage. That's a bad habit of his. He gets along well with his little "sister" Justice who is a Chihuahua. They love to play!! He likes to antagonize Justice... sometimes she gets mad. Coco has soo much energy that I have to take him for walks often. We got him from a rescue. The lady there told us that he was found on the side of the road almost frozen in the winter. We think he may have been previously abused because he sometimes hunches over when you go to pet him. He's better now though. We are very happy that we got him!!"

"This is Riley the Pootalian at 17 months old. He's a one-person dog, although he does have a few other human friends. Very loving, gentle and talkative at times. He is quick as a whip and loves to play "catch me if you can" when outdoors. He is intelligent and learns very quickly. He loves other dogs, regardless of their size and enjoys hours of play. He has had one seizure, around a year old. He has no other health issues. He is a very good and loyal pet."
