Breed (s) guess please!

My friend adopted this 11 week old puppy & the 2 breeds that they told her sounds crazy to me, so before I divulge what they said, please take your educated guess. She is 6 pounds at 11 weeks.

Re: Breed (s) guess please!

  • Squeee!!  That is one cute puppy!

    My uneducated guess is some mix of spaniel and bully breed?

    This one sounds good to me! The roundness of the head makes me think Chi.

  • i'm gonna go ahead and say a jack russell/pit bull mix.  that looks like a pitty face to me, and jack russell fur and coloring.

  • My friend thinks some chi as well. The foster home said that 1 parent was a boxer & the other parent was a lab.....Crazy.

    Funny, those are the two breeds that also came to my mind. JRT coloring, and pittie looking ears.

    Whatever it is, it's cute!

  • So adorable!  I think jack russell/pit bull is a good guess.

    Hmmm, interesting. You never know, I guess! 

    It seems like with two large breeds that they would be bigger at 11 weeks. I guess only time will tell.

    Yeah & her paws are tiny. The vet estimates she will be 30 or so lbs.

  • 6 lbs and 11 weeks old?  And she's supposed to be a lab/boxer cross?  She should weigh twice, maybe 3 times that much....  Poor baby!

  • So cute.

    Not sure about the breeds, but my little guy has the same eye patch.

  • I would guess Chi/Boston Terrier. The eyes seem like they want to "bulge" out like the BT or maybe JRT/BT.
  • Your friend could have DNA tested for like $30 to find out his actual breeds. Our local humane society usually has every couple of months a group come in to do DNA and anyone can go and have their dog tested.

    We adopted a dog and they said that it was Lab/Chow mix; now that the dog is 2yrs old we can definately tell that there is NO chow in him. Looks maybe like he has some shepherd in him. His head and the way he carries himself looks like a shepherd to me.

    I think there's some info on the FAQ link about how those tests aren't very accurate..
