We rescued this ridiculous-looking dog from the back of a truck 2 weeks ago. We weren't even sure if he was going to make it. Once we got him home and fed he fattened right up. The guy had 12 of them in a medium size dog crate. They were some of the ugliest puppies I had ever seen! He was the 3rd cutest, and we got him because he was the cutest boy.

With my alpha female Boston, there is no way for us to have another female dog.

He's got to have some terrier in him, with the wiry scraggly fur. I asked the guy what kind of dogs were mixed in, and he said, "Dogs."

The poor thing had never been handled, and didn't understand us petting him. He's come out of his shell, though, and I think he'll make a great guard dog. He has a healthy respect for the chickens...they straightened him out real quick!

We think he is about 10 weeks old. He hasn't started losing his baby teeth, yet, and still has puppy breath!

He is about the same height as my Boston Terrier, and weighs more than she does, and she is 14 pounds. His gums and lips are black, his tongue is gray. With the upright bat ears, I am thinking maybe shepherd, or something? But his undercoat is short and smooth with sparse wiry overcoat. Maybe some schnauzer mixed in?? I am guessing he'll be about 40-50 pounds full-grown. He's not a jet black, and his undercoat is kind of brownish-gray. His overcoat is kind of charcoal gray.

I'd love to hear y'all's guesses!

Here is his favorite nap spot to sneak in when he thinks we aren't looking!



Here's a close up of his ridiculous ears!



Here's one where you can get an idea of body shape:

 
I don't have a guess but I don't think he is ridiculous at all, I think he is adorable!!!

Definitely some kind of terrier I would guess would be in that mix..
 
Oh no...he's completely ridiculous!!

He is really silly and goofy and all the fun puppy stuff. He does what we call "puppy crawl" and he'll do it from one room to the other. He's terrified of our Boston because she jumps out at him, but if the neighbor's Rottie comes over, he chases him off the property! We really enjoy him. He wasn't "technically" a rescue, but he really appreciates everything we do for him like a rescue. His name started out "Rags" but it's evolved into "Rex". He answers to either one, though.

Thanks for the guess! I'm tempted to do a doggie DNA. I wonder if it would work on a mix as convoluted as he probably is?!?

definatly see schnauzer...

his ears remind me of a corgi lol but could definatly be a shepard in there too....

id say its likley that hes not just 2 breeds though.

those dna tests are ok if you just want a general idea but there not even close to accurate lol...
 
I was gonna say call him Winn Dixie... I bet he grows up looking like a dark haired one in the Movie... Because of Winn Dixie!! He really is adorable.
