What are some small mixed dog breeds?

My mom wants to get a dog, a small one though. We hear that its much easier to train mixed bred dogs and they are cheaper too. Do you know of any good breeds?

1. pomeranian chihauhau look on pet finder they barley ever have purebred and you can find one in your area
2. Go to the local dog shelter and tell them your looking to adopt a small dog. Indicate what limits you have, such as nothing over 30lbs, or no long hair. Check the net for toy rescues in your area. Most rescues are fixed, have their shots, have known health and temperament issues and are looking for someone to love them. Or toss your cash away on some cross bred "Designer" mongrel and have no clue what your getting yourself into. Best of luck and don't get the first dog you see. Have the whole family decide on the best dog.
3. As the others pointed out, the shelter is your best bet. Get a chihuahua mix. Chis rule!
4. I have two little chihuahua/dachsund boys. The most adorable things ever!

6. I have a two year old chi-russel (chihuahua jack russell). She is 10 pounds and extremely smart, loveable and friendly. She does tricks. She has most of the jack russell traits. A little on the hyper side, but we take her for walks and let her play outside. Actually she hunts for lizards. We call her the Lizard Hunter. She does well with children. She is white with a brown spot on her back and ears. She has a brown circle around one eye. Anyway, I would suggest a chi-russell =0)
7. My family took in two unwanted Chihuahua x Miniature Fox Terrier puppies a few years ago to find them new homes, and they were lovely little dogs. We found a home for one of them almost right away, but the other stayed with us for about a week, and within that time I really bonded with the little guy, he followed me everywhere, and he got on well with my cats and other dogs. Unfortunately he was run over shortly after finding a new home.
