"This is Triscuit, a 1½–year-old Coton / Silky mix. She is the most lovable, smartest and cutest pup. She loves to sleep on her back and lives for belly rubs."
The Silky Coton is not a purebred dog. It is a cross between the Silky Terrier and the Coton de Tulear. The best way to determine the temperament of a mixed breed is to look up all breeds in the cross and know you can get any combination of any of the characteristics found in either breed. Not all of these designer hybrid dogs being bred are 50% purebred to 50% purebred. It is very common for breeders to breed multi-generation crosses.
