Hello,

I recently adopted a puppy from a pet rescue, they believe she is a terrier mix. She is very small (less than 5lbs) and wire haired. Does anyone have any thoughts on what she could be, i'm very interested.

I have attached two pictures, it's my first time posting so hopefully it works!

Thank you,

I see Jack Russell Terrier and the face also reminds me of a pic I have of a Papillon (definitly not the ears but the facial coloring and markings) Lol, those pics look like 2 dif. dogs! But as far as the 1 pic.--Looks a lot like the Jack Russell to me but wait till Lara's Mom sees your post as she has a Jack Russell so is very atune to them. And Yogi has a Papillon!

Thanks for the response! I was thinking she might be a Jack Russell Mix due to her size and facial features. Her temprament is very very calm (than again she is a baby) The photos do look a bit different, I was having a hard time getting a photo of her sitting still (hence the blurr) but she loves having her belly rubbed therefore that picture is a bit clearer. Thanks Again!

Lol, Will quote you what it says about temperment from my breeds book: Happy, excitable dogs that love to hunt. In fact, they'll chase just about anything that moves. They make vigilant watchdogs, but are sometimes scrappy with other dogs. Smart and quick witted, they must be firmly trained from an early age, but settle well into family life and make devoted pets.

As the proud mom of a shorty JRT, I certainly see some Jack Russell there!!!

I would say there is too much colour to be wholly Jack Russell but she does have a Jack Russell look about her (Jacks are my favourites!) She could be Jack crossed Papillion although that was the first dog we had as a family when I was a child and she was quite a solid little girl - more of a Jack with a Pap head - perhaps there is some chihuahua in the mix as well?

Whatever it is she is gorgeous.

Thank you everyone for all of your information...I certainly love her regardless of what she is. I was just very curious. I defintely can see Jack Russell in her as well but she is certainly a mix. (Her litter consisted of puppies that were all tan, black and tan, and ones like herself) So certainly a mix.

It doesn´t seem a pure jack Russel.
