Me gots a new doggy Mamas :D

No Longer Need Help On Identifying or Naming The Dog, The Title Seriously Needs To Update 'Cause I Already Changed it.

Well I was hoping some of you peeps could help me figure out the breed of this dog just by viewing some pictures. Also was hoping someone could come up with a name cause I've got nothing in my mind.
From what I've experienced with the single day I've had her. She seems to be an explorer, hyperactive, obsessive licker, constantly follows me around (can walk her around without a leash lol.), she likes to get close to me and try and nap on any body part of mine. Well that's all I can really think of for the moment.

She's six weeks old and not spayed either.
apparently my mother got her for mother's day but she really didn't want her.
It was more of a "Here's, take this dog as a mother's day gift.".
My mother not wanting to be an a-hole and saying "I don't want the dog." as a rejection of the gift so she just took the dog and said thank you.
Gotta get her vaccinated and stuff still.
Not even completely certain if I'll be keeping her due to financial constraints but I take care of her in the meantime.

Thanks. Was thinking she was a mutt (i love mutts) but i guess I'd have to go to the vet to truly find out. At this stage I honestly can't tell what kind of dog she is. I've looked up several breeds but doesnt look like any of them. Figured I'd go with Lab and Rot first but too small for that I think. Tried chihuahua but didn't look so much like a chihuahua either.

What a cutie.

My $ on a chihuahua mix, can't say I see anything else there :D

Hard to tell at that age though.

Keep us posted.

Who gave the pup as a gift?

Sorta looks like it but she's too small to be pure rottie so I'm leaning towards the mutt area.

My oldest bro think she's a chihuahua but she doesn't look like a complete chihuahua to me. In fact she doesn't look like any dog in particular so I'm looking at the mutt area.

Will do. Also taking pictures of her constantly, sorta hard with this camera I got, seems like I get blurred pictures more often than not. Anyway, I'm just interested to see how she grows, sorta like a chia pet. One day they're all cute and cuddly sleepin in your lap the next they're chewing up your furniture as a ten ton monster. lol.

Well it was a gift from a good friend of my moms but it was a re-gift essentially. It was gifted to my moms friend by someone else but she didn't want her (for whatever reasons) and decided to re-gift it to my mother as a mother's day gift. I was just told that it was 6 weeks old, still feeding her milk.

I've had a chihuahua before, his name was snoopy, he's long gone now, I just hope he's in a better place now (if you want pics just look at my albums.). He was a smooth chihuahua and big for his breed and relatively tough (as in strong.). Anyhow, I know they can be demon dogs but some can be nice. I'm just waiting to move her onto dry dog food and to get her the vaccinations before I give her away to another (assuming I'm unable to keep her.).

Yeah, I just meant she may have a little of the Rottie breed in her. How old is she and how much does she weigh?

Yeah looks like a chihuahua in the snout/skull shape, the fur patter looks like min-pin, I can't figure out where the stocky build comes from..although some min pins are quite pudgy.

IMO the snout isn't long enough for that,IMO it has a shorter "Chihuahua" snout.

I think she's a mix of the two. Look at the paws though, He looks like she may be a semi big girl.

I can see the chihuaha in him but the eyes sort of resemble a pugs! He's very unique looking and I'll bet he's smart as a whip too!

I had a chihuahua with the same coloration as this pup. She was the most lovable dog in the world.

Dogs become "demon dogs" because of their "demon owners". :nod:

My sister has 3 dogs and 4 cats and they are the most lovable animals in the world. When an animal is treated with lots of love and affection, they are wonderful. :)

When I got a closer look at this lil fella, the Rottie resemblance took a nose dive. hehe

After closer examination, I'm thinking chihuaha/Pug. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

Oh, btw, this is a pug puppy but pugs have eyes like chihuahas.

lol, she did something kinda funny to me just now. I left her downstairs so I could just get ready to take her out for a walk. I suddenly hear a bunch of whimpering coming from the stairs then I see that she's made it half way up the stairs. I encouraged her to come all the way up and she made it surprisingly.

Anyway, to me she looks sort of like my friends lab, Linda.
http://forums.speedguide.net/album.php? ... tureid=659

She even acts like her which is funny. Stalks me around, pees all over the place, likes to sit wherever im sitting. I don't know, I think she's a keeper in the end.

still need a name though.

Well I've been working my butt off trying to make her interact with strangers and other dogs even cats... so far she's shy but yeah... a bit of progress.

We went to the vet and in order to do a stool check and deworming + vaccines was 111 USD.

We couldn't and still can't afford it so we're giving her up for adoption to someone who can pay for her medical bill. Most likely my friends but it's not a certain thing.

I took her with my friends dogs, after a few sessions she gets along with them just fine and acts normally around them. Even likes to play with them.

her official name is Mamas, she's grown a bit but not much. I decided to take a picture of her and Linda AKA Mamas side by side. Took a few thousand tries but finally got one picture.
