I own two mixed-breed dogs, both adopted. Each favor the looks of a specific breed but its apparent there’s a mix of some kind, but which is just a guess. Curiosity gets the best of me sometimes, especially with Noodles, the darker dog. Would you like to meet them???
This is Molly, 2 1/2 yrs old. Cocker/Dachshund?
Noodles, the newest member of the family, adopted one month ago. About the same age as Molly. I’m told he’s a Dachshund/King Charles Cavalier, but I don’t know about that.
There’s a reason, other than curiousity, to know the breeds in your dog’s background :
- Explaining behavior
- Help in training
- Managing health
