@s4sayer he is a Maltese cross. These types of dogs are a dime a dozen in South Africa. The owners have him clipped like he's a French Poodle ie shaved feet, face and body and long hair on his legs. I think that he has longer legs than your Mitzi.

I've just read some Google info on Maltese Cross dogs. They're certainly popular with more varieties than you can shake a stick at! Bichons and Cotons are popular in France and seem quite similar. Whilst Bichons have a 'curly' coat, Cotons have a straight coat. Cotons have a highly developed sense of smell and originated in Madagascar where there original purpose was to sniff out truffles. Having done so, the truffles were dug up by pigs. Madagascar is a French colony so that French servicemen have been able to easily export and reimport Bichons when posted between the Metropole (mainland France) and French dependencies like Madagascar. Hence their popularity here.
This little guy is absoloutely adorable.... Love that little cocked head and those eyes You're a dog groomer? We could use you at our home right now. Our two little guys (MiniPoodle/Bichon mixes) are in need of a grooming..... Getting it the first of next week.

Not unlike our dog, Mitzi (Coton de Tulear).
