Chinese Crested Maltese - I think?!

Teddy Bear
Teddy Bear was my best friends dog for about 8 months and then she needed to find him a good home, he was her 'baby' and it was difficult for her.
As soon as we met Teddy he melted our hearts and we decided that we would take him home and welcome him into our lives and knowing Teddy the way we do now (after only two weeks) I understand how hard it would be to lose him.
When we adopted Teddy we were told that he was a Shitzu, Maltese, Chihuahua mix but I used to show dogs and wanted to be a Judge at one point so as soon as I saw him I thought that he looked more like a Chinese Crested Maltese mix. The hair on his head and shoulders feels like silk and you can see his skin. It is so fine and as it gets further down his back he becomes bald on his thighs, sides and belly. He has more hair on his feet and tapering down his tail. He has a little more hair on his back (a soft down) but most of his hair is on his head.
If anyone thinks it's other than a Chinese Crested mix, I'd be interested to know people's thoughts on what he could be crossed with.
