Hoping someone out there can help me to identify the breed mix for my
new adopted
little doggie. His name is Scooter and he is somewhere between 1 and 2
years old as best we know. He weighs 11.5 pounds, is extremely bright
and alert. Rarely barks and is very friendly. I have placed some pics on
my company web site.

for sure....don't know, he's cute though )

I'd say a Min. Dachshund mix. Not sure about what he's mixed with, likely
Terrier as someone else pointed out. He has the length of a Min. Dachshund
and the coat can go either way. I've seen Miniatures with broken/mixed
coats. They usually come out somewhat wavy and less silky than the
longhaired or smoothe counterparts.

Looks like some kind of terrier or schnauzer mix to me.

I'm not good with these small hairy creatures, but what about Mini
Schnauzer x Yorkshire Terrier? Is the tail cut away, or does it just look
short in pics? If there is no tail, at least the dam is most probably a
purebred (or nearly purebred) from a breed which is docked over there.

Not a Dachshund cross, they don't come with real legs. Not a Border Terrier
x Russell cross, they don't come in black but have always some tan too and
most often white at least on chest and paws.

I'm curious about your statement regarding the dog not being a Dachshund
cross due to its legs. I've seen Min. Dachshund crosses that were pretty
tall. One that specifically comes to mind is a Sheltie x Min. Dachshund.
The dog has the height of the Sheltie, maybe an inch on the short side, the
coat of the Sheltie, but the snout length & body length of the Min.
Dachshund.

Short legs are a dominant trait, and all mutts I have seen with one short-
legged and purebred parent have been also short-legged. Some stumpy-legs
breeds like Jack Russell are not always homozygous for short legs and can
get long-legged offspring, but older and more stabilized breeds like
Dachsies, Corgis and Bassets seem to be always homozygous for short legs. I
guess that homozygotes have on average slithly shorter legs than
heterozygotes, and so it is fairly easy to select for more homozygousness
with this trait.

If I saw a Dachsie cross with normal or even nearly normal legs, I'd
require some proof of the parentage before believeing it.

I agree with Liisa. I had a rescue Border Terrier/Dachshund (probably
standard, long coat) that had somewhat longer but still short legs, and
still had the Queen Anne front.... Also had the long body. Funny
looking little monster child.... natural comedienne.

Definitely no Border Terrier. Probably no JRT.

Probably Scottish Terrier and ?????.

What is a Queen Anne front?
