    SOS!!! Abt the breed!!

    I got a puppy this afternoon, it was wandering in front of my house all day long, seemed lost. i took it in and wanna figure out his breed. there was nothing like identification on him, no collar. It's like Italian greyhound, but the neck is different. Anyone could tell me... Thx a zillion...

    I'm sorry, but I don't have any ideas.  I was just surprised how much he looks like my Buddy.  Not in the coloring, but his shape.  Buddy is a boston terrier/corgi mix.

    At first I thought maybe Chihuahua/Rat Terrier or Min Pin mix, but after looking at these pics, I'm wondering if it's possible it's a Rat Terrier.  If you scroll down, you'll see some RTs with little or no white.

    yea I'm going to say chi  mix or mini pin. mix.  Really cute,  glad you helped him. =)

    He looks like he's in pretty good shape, and that someone might just have lost him - puppies often slip their collars when people don't put them on tightly enough.  Make sure you have your vet scan him for a microchip just in case.  But, if you don't find the owner, it looks like you got yourself a cutie.

    I'd say a chi, min pin, or rat mix.  Or maybe all three.  [;)]

    This is my min. pin. mix, Sammy. Their facial exprressions are quite alike.

    I saw Rat terrier mix or Min Pin mix.
     
    He's a cutie. Hope everything works out!

    My first impression was that of a Min-Pin.  He's got the feet and the nose/head of a min pin.  The coat is entirely different however.

    My initial thought was a Toy Fox Terrier. 
     
    Do what spiritdogs said though.  And look in the paper under "Lost Dogs" in the classified.  For both local and entire state papers.

    I don't know if I even see a puppy, he may be even older than that.  You should really see if anyone in your area lost their dog.  If you do decide to keep he you should take him to a vet and get a compleat exam, the vet can give you a better idea of his age and breed.  Or at least for now take him to a vet to see if he has a micro chip, could have just a esaly sliped the collar and thats why he has none.
     
    I see mostly min-pin but could also be rat terrior.  His fur looks so shiny and he looks well cared for.

    He looks like a Rat Terrier, or Rattie mix. They are increasingly popular these days. Whatever he is, he's extremely adorable. What do you plan to do with the little guy?
