OK... What Breed is BOB?

[MissysMommy]

I have actually seen a full blood shih tzu that was HUGE. Not fat or anything, just big. He was about 40 lbs, I believe is what the owner told me. I love shih tzu's so I noticed quick what he looked like and swore I was wrong till I talked to the owner. (Even after). He is adorable though!!!

...but the body spots do suggest Beagle. Don't see much Cocker in there, imo. Let's see if I can get a picture of RX when he was younger to show up.


Forget how old he was in that one, but the face is similar and the coat gets pretty shaggy on some of them. Can you "pluck" the coat fairly easily? I.E., long hairs pull out fairly readily? Their coat is reasonably wirey, although, not as wirey as, say, a rough-coated Jack Russell. You can see the facial furnishings are pretty similar. Just that Bob's nose seems a bit longer.

Well, whatever he is, he's adorable.

There is a dog genome project going on at one of the universities in Michigan, I think it is. Keep forgetting, because I've not submitted RX's dna to them, but eventually, they may be able to tell what breeds are likely to be in a mixed breed. Wouldn't that be wild??

Hugs to the doggies,

He could have border terrier, shih tzu, or jack russel in him. If he is 8 pounds and only nine weeks ols, he prolly has a medium size dog in him. Maybe some beagle or schnauzer?

Whatever Bob is, he is a cutie!!
