a none existent breed

Regardless of your brief description covering a load of different 'breeds', unless you have the paperwork from the official Kennel Club of the country he was born in, you have no guarantee about whether he is 'a breed' even if he is.

Toy Poodle?

A toy poodle, perhaps.

There are many dogs, who are light brown with curly coats. Unless you post a picture of the dog, it's impossible for us to even guess what breed it is.

There are over 600 recognized dog breeds, world wide. You will have to be MORE SPECIFIC. Provide a picture and a country were it it is common = since this is a board that is seen world wide. Define "small" by shoulder HEIGHT, or by body weight don't be an @$$.

its american, this that and the other
