What IS he??

[Amber]

This dog is bugging the crap out of me. He's listed as a Boston Terrier/Italian Greyhound, but I don't see that at all. He kinda looks like a tiny tiny tiny Pit Bull. Could he be Pit/Chi?? I know that's a rising designer breed. What do you think?

Omg, it's a pocket pit! He's ADORABLE!

I don't know what he is, besides seriously cute.

 

[Crowsfeet]

...I need that dog in my life.

 

[Laurelin]

You do! I want someone to adopt him. He's seriously the most adorable thing...

Something about him looks so Chihuahua to me. Maybe chi/staffy bull? They are pretty small.

 

[MicksMom]

OMG, is he freekin' cute or what? Something about his face has me thinking he has Basenji in him someplace. Serioulsy, I'm wondering if he's Boston Terrier/Basenji.

He's a cute dog!!! I could believe Boston x something, and some idiot thought one parent was a "Pit" so cropped the ears ... that's a home job for sure - it looks like they cut the tip off the left ear!

Edit - I just saw the Boston x Basenji suggestion. Believable ... I don't see a tail, so we can't use that to judge. I'd probably lean towards a dog with more coat because he's got hairy ears - neither Pits, Basenjis or Boston have hairy ear canals.

Actually, that reminds me .... I've heard a few flyball people talking about doing this cross. Totally slipped my mind, but that could be it! (Or for hunting too, but we see a lot of BorderJacks around here in flyball, so the JackaPit (i don't think they have a cutesie name) would make sense.

there is a larger hunting terrier community than i ever thought in the USA. besides the JRT, pats, jagds, rats & feists there are people in this country importing & working borders, bedlingtons (1 person so far), lakelands, & irish terriers. if the manchester, sealyham & other larger terriers make a comeback it'll likely be here where we have game & laws to accommodate them.

Boston/beagle. It's a designer dog. I know 2 that frequent my workplace, and they're identical! They even have cropped ears.

 

[Romy]

something bully with something small. I saw a staffy female at a dog show once, she took BOB, and she was that small.

Omg, i want!!!!!!!!!

Yeah, he does resemble the 'Boglen' (WTF? name - at least it's not a poo)

[FoxyWench]

they call them boggles around here (boston x beagle) and he definatly could be a cropped one...

he sure is cute!

 

[Pops2]

whatever he is i'd love to give him a crack at hog dogging

 

[Thundering Herd]

I see the Boston Terrier in him. That part has to be correct.

 

[StillandSilent]

This may be a foolish question, but if he is beagle/boston, why crop the ears? Because it's cuter that way? It just seems odd to me that you would take two uncropped dogs, mix them and then crop the results.
Pops- Can a dog that small really be a hog dog? Wow! Granted, I don't know much about hunting with dogs, but that is just amazing.

Bostons are often cropped. Not as much in recent years, but you still see them.
