Muggin? Carlin Pinscher? General mutt?

I have no idea, but he is really cute!

How do you know that his tail is docked? He could be born like that

As for breeds he could be min pin and pug but he doesn't really look like it to me.

Well it is possible his tail is just like that...however after doing some research I see he greatly resembles Muggins or Carlin Pinschers, which are both types of Pug/Min-pin mix. Knowing that it'd be logical to assume someone knew he was part min-pin and docked his tail.

I don't know though, I'm just trying to figure it out. He definitely has an under-bite, so he's certainly got some kind of Pug/Bulldog/Pekingese or other type of short-faced dog in there somewhere.

You can't see it too well in the pictures, but there are many times when he's sitting there and his bottom teeth show like a bulldog/pug.

He is cute.

If the muggin and carlin are both mixed breeds of ouf and min pin, what is the difference?

I think its just another ploy mutt breeders use to make them seem worth more.

I think the Carlin Pinscher is an attempt at creating a "miniature rottwieller" looking dog, so it's an ongoing effort. Despite this if you Google "Carlin Pinscher" you'll find lots of pictures of "fawn" colored dogs like mine.

The "Muggin" is just a random mating of a Min-pin and a Pug, so that outcome is also a little more random. I think the Carlins must have a little more Min-Pin in them than Pug, the true Muggins seem to resemble genuine Pugs much more closely.

LOL the names they give mutts these days.. combining the names is so ridiculous. I think pug/chi mix.

Almost as ridiculous as "Bull Mastiff" or "Bull Terrier"

mixing names isn't really a new concept, but it has become a fad that I agree.
