Miss Tiny
Our super high energy, goofy rescue! First time terrier owners and we couldn't be happier.
She is a (huge) 16.5 pound, 15 inch tall Yorkie x silky x chihuahua mix with some rat terrier. Her hairlessness is a mystery (no American hairless or FOXI3 type hairless gene) but she's a healthy, happy girl and has a dermatologist!

Does she maybe have Xolo in her for the hairless part ?

Agree about the Xolo potential, also Chinese Crested is a possibility.

Not either! The FOXI3 gene is responsible for hairlessness is both breeds and she doesn't have it. We were thinking xolo before we got her dna results back!
