My wife and I (And our two wonderful cats) recently adopted a puppy from the animal control. I was alerted to them being picked up near by and figured why not try and help out and save a life, because these guys have VERY limited space.

Any ways, here are some pictures of the little guy, we are calling him Otto. I have NO idea what breed he is, neither does the vet... go figure. Any help would be appreciated

From when we got him about two weeks ago, to now. I dont even know how old he is but he seems a bit small?



The same day, compared to our cat >.<



A few days later in his crate



And taken just today while he was eating (Aug / 7 )






I appreciate any identification help you can provide! thanks in advanced.

His face/ears remind me of a beagle. So possibly Beagle/something/something. He could be small because he is going to be a smaller dog when he grows up.

I am going to guess Beagle/Terrier mix ... because something in the shape of his head, muzzle, and eyes says that to me. He sure is a cute little guy!

Holy cute face. Congrats on your new addition! I agree, I can see Beagle in there.

Maybe black and tan Jack Russell?

Do you think there is any chance he is just very young and will end up being a decent sized dog?

That is difficult to say with mixes. Abbylynn my Dobie/Rott mix was only around 30 pounds at 5 months old when I adopted her. I thought she was going to be small for her mix ... maybe top out at 45-50 pounds ..as she looked very small. I was incorrect ... as she is now 65 pounds. :/

Like Abbylynn said, without knowing the lineage, it's hard to say for sure. He look pretty proportional (IME, big dogs tend to have disproportionately large paws when they're very young).

Yeah, good point. We shall see i guess. I dont know why i care, as he is a rescue but ive always wanted a decent sized dog . His siblings where all yellow ish, like a lab or golden retriever but he had the shepherd like colors so i thought for sure lab / shepherd. He was clearly mall nourished, so perhaps he just hasn't hit his growth spurt?

 

[momtolabs]

he could have a bunch of different breed in his so he could be a beagle/lab/shepherd/ something/something. It is kind of hard to tell when they are young. My dog Mae was a bigger puppy but only topped out at 25lb's. So with mix breeds it is a toss up.

When he lays on his back his ears stand up and i swear i can see shepherd in him! lol Wishfull thinking more than likely. His tail is strange though, it has the brown strip up the back of it and it curls up a bit.

Yeah I can definitely see the Beagle in there! So adorable ><

 

[koenigdylan]

Lol we will see.
