[edit] Description
Poi Dogs come in all sizes, shapes and colors. The term "poi dog" is a colorful Hawaiian expression for "mutt" - basically, a mixed-breed dog whose ancestry can't be determined because it is so mixed up.
[edit] Temperament
This is not an actual dog breed, so it has a range of temperaments.
