anybody good at guessing dog breeds?

[Kali]

we call her a Chihuahua but she must be crossed with something else. (do Chihuahuas have curly tails?) Weighs 5 or 6 pounds, can jump really high, walk and pirouette on her hind legs, vocal, no underbite like a pug or other smashed-face type, wants to be held a lot but also small-dog brave (loves to work cattle!) Damn cute.

1. Chow Chow Chihuahua?

This is a picture of a chow mix.

What if it was mixed with a Chihuahua?

[Kali]

5. she seems way too small to me

also not furry and has a pink tongue

[playa-gal]

40. Chow Chow Chihuahua

Looks like a Chow Golden Retriever (or Lab)mix. Chow Chihuahua mix unlikely unless dad is Chihuahua, and that presents some interesting logistics problems!

[Brother Buzz]

2. I see Rat Terrier in her lineage

[ornotna]

3. Not sure

Maybe this will help.

[Kali]

6. that looks handy

but man is it having trouble loading for me tonight. will check again tomorrow

[Tuesday Afternoon]

4. what color is her tongue?

does it have any black spots on its tongue? I agree with PF -- could have some Chow . . .

[Kali]

8. nope

pink tongue
seems too small as well

[Tuesday Afternoon]

10. could be something else mixed in

making it only a a quarter chow

[Duer 157099]

7. Maybe Shiba Inu mixed with Chihuahua plus others

Looks like more than two breeds involved here...

[Puplovah]

55. Shiba inu spitz

That is DEFINITELY a spitz & shiba inu mix!!! Like, no doubt have that same dog with another breed too!

[gopiscrap]

56. Welcome to DU

[Chellee]

9. Pomeranian?

They have little curved tails.

She's a cutie.

[Kali]

23. definitely our first guess

[ScreamingMeemie]

11. I would almost stake money on that being a Chihuahua/Pom mix. My cousin has one

who looks exactly like that. We know who Jo-Jo's parents were so we know what he is. Cute doggie!

[auntAgonist]

20. Chihuahua/Pom mix. I agree.

very cute pup!

aA

[Kali]

24. is that right?

that was our guess - the husband lived with a pom when he was a kid

her coat is short, though

[ScreamingMeemie]

29. Jo-Jo's coat is short as well.

[Kali]

12. this is totally her too

from wiki:

Chihuahuas love their dens and will often burrow themselves in pillows, clothes hampers, and blankets. They are often found under the covers or at the bottom of the bed, deep in the dark and safety of what they believe is their den.

[intaglio]

13. Just a guess

I think she may be a purebred Heinz
.

.
you know, 57 varieties?

Whatever she is she is rather lovely

[a kennedy]

14. I'd say a cross between cute and adorable.

Just a good looking dogie.

[abbeyco]

15. My opinion is that she's adorable!

And I'd go with post #7 - Shiba Inu and Chihuahua based on looks, tail and your other descriptors.

What a cutie - you must be a happy owner!

Happy New Year!

[GoCubsGo]

16. She looks like she might have a little Border terrier in her.

Or, perhaps some Jack Russell terrier. "Small and brave" suggests that she definitely has some sort of terrier in her. I also see a little bit of beagle in her face, especially around the eyes.

[Kali]

26. there are a lot of Jack Russels and rat terriers around here, that is for sure

so far the only think I have seen her kill is flies. She catches them in the air - she is quite good at it. She has an ongoing war with our old MamaKitty but gets along ok with the other one. Bosses both other dogs for sure but plays with them a lot.

[Mopar151]

17. Looks like our old dog Scooter

Runt Beagle-ish mutt. Houdini on tiny paws!

[RebelOne]

18. I have a purebred Chihuahua, she does show some Chihuahua markings.

You can now get a DNA test kit from Petsmart, if you really want to know. I have a dog that I think is a cross between a mini-Pin and Dachshund. And I have been contemplating sending off for the DNA test kit. It cost about $50 for the kit and I don't know what the price is for the test results.

[Kali]

27. oh man I would LOVE to do all three dogs!

wish it were on the order of ten dollars! 45 or 50 each just to satisfy curiosity it way out of my budget

[RebelOne]

30. Yup, expensive, but it may be worth it to satisfy your curiosity.

I plan to get one eventually to determine the lineage of my little mini-Pin mix.

[JCMach1]

19. Pug methinks

[davsand]

21. That would be a Dawg.

Looks like a mixed breed to me. I see some Chihuahua there, but that looka a lot like a terrier snout. I think you would be safe calling her a Dawg. A mighty FINE Dawg.

[RedCloud]

22. Just one coat? Is she a puppy?

[Kali]

28. yes just regular short dog fur

[Taverner]

25. I dunno but that's a cool dog!

Just sayin'

[maddezmom]

31. maybe a Besenji

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basenji

We just got a rescue Basenjimix without the curly tail.

Here is a pic of mine.

[Tikki]

32. She is gorgeous...and looks a bit like Tikki (the dog)...

Our vet told us Tikki is chi, doxi and rat\russell. Tikki's ears are very big.



The Tikkis

[ashling]

33. By "good at" I assume you mean with some degree of accuracy

so I am not sure I qualify, but

Basengi X terrier

[greiner3]

34. Ann Coulter;

In drag.

[Arkansas Granny]

35. My guess would be some kind of terrier cross.

They are energetic dogs that think they are m-u-c-h bigger than they actually are.

[Tom_Foolery]

36. She looks like a member of the "sweety pie" breed!! n/t

[sammytko]

37. My Bubba could be your dog's twin

The shelter said he was a chihuahua- Pomeranian mix

[Odin2005]

38. Chihuahua-Pommeranian mix, IMO

[marzipanni]

39. Escupe dog

Spitz in Español (aka Spihuahua or Chitz)



Here's a Spitz mix dog-


If you google Spitz-Chihuahua mix you'll see a few that look similar to your cute girl-

[Autumn]

41. Can't really see the size of the ears but my Papillon has a tail like that but

with a lot more hair.

[Kali]

42. heh

are you on MIRT?

[Autumn]

43. Yeah, saw this post and the doggie got me sucked in

interesting

[Kali]

44. this old thread didn't get kicked to the front page

so nobody can actually see what is going on except you (and other MIRTers who might look), me, the newb and passing fair. this is cracking me up

oh I bet people could get here from the latest page "first posts" section, too

[Autumn]

45. Oh yeah, I found this one really cute, and posted in it just for

fun It's been a boring day.

[Kali]

46. she has turned out to be the greatest little dog

all heart and more stamina than my two big dogs. she can run for MILES and then wants to play when she gets home. Last April I even ran over her. Scared the crap out of me and my overreaction scared the crap out of her - she was fine, I was an emotional wreck LOL

I think I did a thread on it, maybe playa could find it for us. hahahahhahaa

[Autumn]

47. She is cute, My Papillon chased an antelope for 2 miles one day

me on the ATV hauling after him They have boundless energy.

[Kali]

48. bwahahahaha!!!!

I can just see the ear feathers! is she black and white? (are they all that color? I can't remember - I know I have seen pix)

[Autumn]

49. Yeah, he's black and white, my Daughter called me and told me to tun on Dog the Bounty Hunter

because their Pappi looks just like my Darlin. My Husband says the only reason he ever gets breakfast is because my boy nags me to cook him his breakfast every morning. I get one cup of coffee and then he barks at the fridge and stove. He wants his omelette.

[Kali]

50. too funny

the little ones sure do have the instincts to work their humans, it is amazing.

[Autumn]

51. That they do, and he has me well trained.

[Rhiannon12866]

52. That's how I got here, too, LOL. Adorable pup!

Basenji crossed my mind, too, but I'm not all that good at these things. Did you ask the vet? Mine identified what he thought went into my sweet little terrier mix who was found as a stray.

I'm now dog mom to a Brussels Griffon, my second. I grew up with a cocker, have had four in my life, since I adopt senior dogs. I called about an eight-year-old cocker and ended up with a nine-year-old eight pound Brussels Griffon and he turned me into a little dog person.

[Kali]

54. hi Rhiannon12866

how are you enjoying MIRT? have you done it before? I am kind of missing the work tonight.

[MADem]

53. The tail and black face do look puggy to me--maybe a quarter pug?

Perhaps there's a bit of terrier in there, or pomeranian? Or both?

Nice looking dog--perky, cute, confident!
