RuralPug Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 It is a bit hard to tell size from that photo...how big are they please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirislin Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 (edited) Look like a mixture of several in there. Couldn't the 'breeders' give you any info on parentage? I dont think they are a breed themselves. Maybe a bit of chihuahua?, tibetan spaniel?, pug?, jr terrier?, papillon? who knows, just guessing, dont think you could ever be sure. I hope they are sweet natured little guys that have a good life with you anyway. Edited June 13, 2008 by Kirislin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke W Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 Cute! I don't know what they are...maybe a bit of chihuahua. Make sure you get in lots and lots of socialisation for these pups. If there were seperarated from the little at 5 weeks - they are going to need some extra attention in the socialisation area to grow up well balanced dogs. Do a google search for "Puppy Socialisation " and read everything you can. Try reading: http://www.siriuspup.com/beforebook.html for starters.

andrewg Posted June 14, 2008 Author Share Posted June 14, 2008 they are still realy small, smaller than a cat. the the person that gave me them, does not speak english well. Dont think they knew they even knew the breed lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest PixieOfWrath Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 Lovely little mystery mutts, by the looks of them. Some dogs you just have to resign yourself to never knowing... like my Brody :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luvsdogs Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 The top one looks a little like spitz & the lop eared one terrier. Agree with luke do learn all you can about socialisation. My previous 2 dogs were 5.5 weeks old when we got them and although they were/are lovely family dogs I had to be careful when I took them out around other dogs. As well as sirius go to www.dogstardaily.com and read all you can. There are also videos you do a search of dog training videos to get them up. Ian Dunbar also does some radio talks. Well worth a look. They need to see & interact with friendly, vaccinated dogs & all manner of human. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mixy Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 What little cuties! They could both have chihuahua in them, maybe papillion and something else? The one on the right looks like that chihuahua x papillion Kyra adopted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puggy_puggy Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 Some sort of chihuahua X. Maybe a Pom X. What happend to their mother that they have left her at 5 weeks old? It is not reccomended that pups leave their mums till they are at least 8 weeks old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff'n'Toller Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 The one at the back looks like a Pomeranian x and the one at the front a Chihuahua with some terrier in it. Mel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muttaburra Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 The legs in the 2nd picture look a bit Corgi, short and stocky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sugclasco Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 (edited) to me they look alot older than 5 weeks old ...............more like 10 to 15 weeks , i would think their is chi in there ,the lop eared one looks like my cousins dog honey she is a maltese x Chihuahua she has a overshot bottom jaw and short legs and long body like the little lop eared puppy. first pic is of honey at 5 weeks old before she went home , next 2 pics taken now at 7mths old Edited June 15, 2008 by sugclasco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sugclasco Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 maybe corgi x Chihuahua i noticed too that both have corgi markings that would go with the short leg and long body aswell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wagalot Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 i wouldn't say corgi looks to me like a topical mix of pom, JRT and possibly a little chi. they look older than 5 weeks too, maybe closer to 8-10 weeks. if you are a new dog owner and planning on keeping them both, i would be getting them to the vet for an all over check up, vacc, worming etc ASP. i would say they haven't had much social interaction, so i would think about puppy pre school as well.... god luck with them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
persephone Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 They look awfully big for 5 weeks! At 5 weeks, they would almost fit in one hand still, if they were a small breed, wouldn't they? faces look very 'grown-up'. They are cute-hopefully all goes well at the vets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyra Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 Some sort of Terrier mix I'm guessing. Can't see corgi or Pom, very cute though and as others said, huge for 5 weeks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bailey9 Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 What is the metal thing on the face? Just curious - never seen it before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
