Default What breed is my dog 2006! -- just curious

Hi, we just adopted this lovable little girl, and
the shelter said she was a terrier mix, with maybe
a little retriever,

The puppy pics are adorable, but this "guess my breed" game can be properly
played only with boring "show" photos. It is essential that the dog stands,
so its body proportions, leg length and tail carriage are visible, not just
face (but I got to admit that these head shot are excellent). It is also
important to be able to compare the dog to something which has a known
size, and not to a toy or a pillow.

The dog looks rather small, and its legs look shortish but the photos might
lie. My guess based on what I think I see from the photos: Lots of Jack
Russel mixed with some Beagle and perhaps with some spaniel/poodle too. And
there might be a small dose of about whatever from retrievers to pit bull
in the mix as well. I think that it is quite possible that none of its
parents was a purebred, and this might mean that this little fellow is a
mixture of four or even more breeds.
