Choosing A Dog

Choosing A Dog
Dachshund + ?
I'm fostering this doxie mix -- he is the absolute sweetest dog -- but I'm wondering what else he has in him. His fur is strange, there are patches of smooth, dark hair, and other parts are longer and lighter and a different texture. I don't know why this is and if it is just a phase he is...

What do you think?
So when we got Dixie from the MSPCA, they said he was a Wheaten mix. A girl that works for the trainer we go to thinks he's a Berger de Pyrenees (never heard of it before). I think cases can be made for both, with the Wheaten being the more likely after reading about Bergers. You don't really...

What could Tolby be?
Found this little dog at my neighbors. He now lives with my MIL forever or until someone claims him. He is very comfortable in the house so we know he has been in a house.

Pibble/?
A friend adopted this poochie pie from a shelter in central Wisconsin. Any guesses on the breed combo? Pibble/kangaroo? I couldn't get a very good body shot, because she never stops moving! She is very solid, muscular, and has short legs.

What is your favorite small breed, and why?
I really miss having a small dog around. Delilah (GSD) and Beefer (Basset Hound) are both wonderful... but it's just not the same. So, just because, in honor of the small dogs out there... what's your favorite? Why? Do you prefer to raise from a puppy or adopt an adult.? Why?

what is Micha?
Micha is about 11 months old, and very timid. Very nervous, but also headstrong. Wants to do things her way, but will listen after a few attempts. She's a little under weight right now, but not a big girl. About 45 lbs I think - I can easily pick her up and move her... =/ Large head,...
