    Help! What is his breed???

    Shiloh is a year old now and weighs about 45 lbs. I got him when he was about 6-8 wks old. He was given to us by a homeless little boy in a shopping center parking lot. The little boy said that his mom told him he couldn't keep him anymore. Shiloh was full of grease from living under the car that the family lived in. I didn't have it in my heart to say no, and have never regreted it. The only thing is that where ever we go, people ask us what breed he is and we have no clue! Can anyone please help us?

    I am not good at Identifying mixed breeds, all I do know is that Shiloh is a Cutie, what ever he is. I would however be iinclinecd to say he is a terrier mix.JMO

    Boston Terrier x Rat Terrier? I think I definitely see Boston Terrier in him.. he's ADORABLE!

    The first picture, before I clicked on it to see the larger version I thought he looked like a Boston. I'd be inclined to say some sort of Boston mix, I'm not really sure with what though. Something a little larger...I have no idea. He is ADORABLE though!!!

    Too large to be these breeds. Maybe a border collie/beagle mix?

    Though it's unlikely, he looks like a basenji mix to me.

    I see Jack/Parson Russell terrier.

    And maybe border collie.

    Yep. The ears and face do look like a JR/PT, but his weight is something larger.

    He might even be a purebred Boston Terrier from a pet store or BYB, although the tiny bit of tan on the muzzle suggests some JRT blood.

    I see lots of Border collie in him, clearly not full, but I would almost definatly say there is at least some. mixed with bosten terrier or maybe beagle, though he is the size of a BC so im not so sure about the smaller breeds mixed in...
