Maltese Chinese Crested Powderpuff - Mr. Cash

Mr. Cash, my Maltese Chinese Crested powderpuff dog mix claimed me when I went to visit the local animal shelter. I had seen him on petfinder.com, but when I first went to look at him the shelter was about to close and so I wasn't able to take him out of the pen and audition him.

I went back the next day and as soon as he clapped eyes on me he KNEW I was there to see him and quite possibly take him home.

Mr. Cash was named "Cash" by the shelter folk and answered to his name so I didn't think it appropriate to change it. Because of his spunky personality, that I had just watched the Joaquin Phoenix movie Walk the Line, and that I busted him out of a doggy jail that reminded me of Folsom Prison -- I added a Mr. to the front of his name. He likes it.

Mr. Cash is a delight. He is HIGHLY trainable, incredibly loving, very snuggly and very playful. He's a good watch dog, and gets along very well with other people and pets.

The shelter told me he is a Chinese Crested dog but then my dog groomer suggested to me that he might be a Crested Malt. I looked at this website and many others -- he fits ALL the specifications. I have not seen a picture yet that doesn't look like him.

Take a look at his pic... This was taken a month or so after I had adopted him -- his fur was still growing out.
