A French Water Dog

People are always stopping me and asking what kind of dog Farley is. I just can't bring myself to call him a woodle, so I've now resorted to telling them that he's a French Water Dog. People will either nod knowingly or raise an eyebrow skeptically. Then I'll say that his mother is a Poodle and his father is a wheaten tERRIER, and I like to call him a PERRIER, or as they say in French, a Perri-YAY. Or more simply, a French Water Dog. Sounds pretty classy to me.

I've been honing my delivery and timing, but so far the line seems to be working.

Ps. Actually there is a breed of French Water Dog, also known as a Barbet. But Wikipedia says there are only 47 of them in the USA, so I doubt that I'll ever run into a real one.
