Maybe this just happens to me because Itsy is a mix (yokie/poodle), but I take her out for walks all the time here in the city and people always stop me to pet her and ask if she is a schnauzer, or a shih tzu. She has been called a schnauzer by almost everyone we've seen and a shih tzu by a few others. I don't get it. To me, she looks more like a Yorkie than anything else. Does this happen to anyone else or is it just me?
