cute, looks like a merle shetland sheepdog

 

its colour sure cannot have come from pom or spitz they are only cream or white?

[Deeds]

I thought it looked like a Keeshond dog.

I just heard on the tv news the owner says the dog is a mix of Jap spitz and pomeranian.

And something else.

Not necessarily. Merle is an allowed colour for Pomeranians under the American Kennel Club breed Standard.

But very probably, yes. 
 

Whatever breeds she is, my heart goes out to her and to her owners. I hope she has been or very quickly will be returned to her owners.

Poms also come in parti-colour and I'm wondering if that is where the colour has come from.  Fingers crossed she is found and home soon.

particolour is cream and white or gold and white, neither poms or spitz have merle in their breed, nor do they have black, the dog is a blue merle which is black  based merle

only in america it seems breeds suddenly "mutate" merle into a breed it was never in before.  but then mutation is in the  genes there,  google american shetland and halter quarter horse   

 

strange people   taken decades and still trying to get "the big lick" banned in their show ring. sickening cruelty to win .  might be better to just look at this photo of her loss of ability to stand normally. to watch the video is too upsetting.
