He's cute, I agree boxer mix for now. It's so hard to guess breeds in a puppy since they change so much. Ask again when he's 6+ months old.

I'd say American Bulldog / Boxer mix, but he looks tiny. I'd guess a Pitbull / Boxer mix until you post those pictures in 6 months like ZigZag said.

Then I'll really be able to tell... What's the story anyway Pom? Where'd ya get the mystery breed?

Well, I was walking Aspen, down by the river near our house, and we found this lil guy, and it was like below zero and really windy, and so of course i could not just leave him there. We've done everything we can to try to find his owners, cause we figured he just got out or something. We posted flyers all over, on websites, the newspaper and told the pound about him. But no one has claimed him, so now were thinking maybe he was dumped there

He probably would have died out there alone that night, it got so cold. So now Im trying to talk my mom into letting me keep him XD He has really bonded to me, and normally doesn't leave my side. I named him Righder. The only bad thing about him is he has a little aggression, towards my little sister which is obviously a big no no, but i mean hes only like no more then 13 weeks (his teeth aren't even all the way in yet.) So i think if i just spend lots of time, and work with him, he will get out of that aggression. Maybe he wasn't treated right by a little kid, and so that could be why he isn't a big fan of her. But he has never tried anything with me. Lol I think im in love XD Aspend has kinda became my moms dog, because when i moved for those 3 months she really bonded to her, and now looks to her as her mommy, which is really hard for me, cause Aspen was my dog before.

Thanks for helping him but I don't think it's fair to call a puppy, and a tiny one at that, aggressive. He's probably just being a puppy. You didn't say what he was doing but I imagine it's probably nipping and mouthing?

Well no its definetly different then normal puppy behaviour, but i don't think its anything major that can't be corrected threw some work. When my sister ty to pick him up (and hse does it gently) he just starts freaking out growling and bitting her hands (not nicely) He has never done that to me though

Some of my Tosas and Game Bulls have shown aggression issues as puppies, some still do. And it wasn't just the normal nipping and teething bites, in some cases it was full on attacks. Monster was like that. Definitely start correcting him early on Pommy. Especially when the issue is towards family. It could definitely just be that he's getting used to a new home, adjusting ya know. Maybe he just needs to bond to the rest of the family as well as you. And I'm sorry about Aspen, I know she was your baby. Never happened to me when I left, because my dogs are psychos and wouldn't let anyone else that close to them, 0_0 but that would probably tick me off.

I am no behavior expert by far but to me he sounds like an uncomfortable puppy with zero socialization. Just keep doing what you're doing then and get him around lots of different people.

My best guess would be Pitbull/Boston Terrier/Chihuahua... Google search of Pitbull/Boston Terrier crosses shows some very similar looking dogs, but the small size and high forehead in picture 4 lead me to think there may be some Chihuahua in there. Boxer is a possibility too XD. Just remember, crosses often look nothing like what you'd expect... for example, my cousin acquired a pregnant Beagle once, father was a Mastiff, one male puppy grew up to look almost exactly like a brindle Border Collie, just slightly heavier. <img src="http://www.gis.net/~shepdog/BC_Museum/Permanent/BCColors_Brindle/TimDyersFrankie.jpg"; alt="http://www.gis.net/~shepdog/BC_Museum/Permanent/BCColors_Brindle/TimDyersFrankie.jpg"; class="bb-image" /> looks almost exactly like this, from a cross of a purebred Beagle and a mutt Mastiff - Would you guess that mix? XD

FlyTM · January 2013

I'm not sure where you guys see pit in him but maybe thats me, I would like to see him grow a bit more into himself, because puppies change so much. I want to guess Boxer cross some with other small breeds. Hes gonna be small though!

Adrianna32 · January 2013

I guessed APBT because of those ears, seen em on so many of the cute ones. Plus the conformation of his body from the side and the elongation of his muzzle, which wouldn't be so if he only had squishy faced breeds in him. In my opinion, in some pictures he just gives a look that is all Pittie. Also because the 'Pitbull' ranges in size from very small to quite large. I figured his dam or sire could be a tiny half Pit or something close. :] Pit mix / Boston makes sense to me right now. However, when I take a closer look, for a longer period of time, he just looks confusing. ;D I agree that he -is- going to be on the smaller side, but other then that it's nearly impossible to accurately make a fair judgement. As everyone else has said, we will not knows until he grows! Haha 0_0

Howdy, Stranger!
