Could Toto have been a black toy poodle from the description in the book?

I know in the film it is a cairn terrier but the book doesn't say what breed he was.|||Here's the description of Toto from the book, for those who haven't read it:





"Toto was not gray; he was a little black dog, with long, silky hair and small black eyes that twinkled merrily on either side of his funny, wee nose."





Poodles don't have long, silky hair, so I doubt that's the breed the author had in mind. I can think of several breeds that fit the description: Cairn Terrier, Skye Terrier, Havanese, and Tibetan Spaniel. Of course, he could also be a mutt. The original illustrations in the book look a lot like some kind of terrier.|||He is more likely to be a cairn terrier because toy puddles have curler fur.|||I dunno...maybe...what does the description in the book say?|||he was a cairn terrier

5.11. What breed of dog is Toto?





It depends on your source. In The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, Baum describes him as "a little black dog, with long, silky hair and small black eyes that twinkled merrily on either side of his funny, wee nose." He never said what breed he was, but Denslow drew him as looking somewhat like a Cairn terrier or a Scottie. When Toto next appears in an Oz book, John R. Neill drew him as a Boston terrier or French bulldog (Neill had a French bulldog himself at the time), even though he was well aware of Denslow's depiction. In one illustration in that book, Neill's Toto laughs at a statue of himself, which Neill drew in Denslow's style, complete with signature seahorse. As Neill drew Toto more in later books, however, he got shaggier, and ended up looking more like Denslow's depiction, a convention other Oz illustrators have pretty much stuck with. For The Movie, Scotties were initially looked at, but when Carl Spitz brought in Terry, a Cairn terrier, she got the job, and Toto became a Cairn to many. In other movies, and some newer illustrated editions of The Wizard of Oz, Toto has been depicted as other breeds. In The Muppets' Wizard of Oz, Toto wasn't even a dog; he was played by Pepe the King Prawn, so in Kansas, there was a reference to Dorothy adopting a prawn because she wasn't allowed to have a dog.
