Dog Experts? (real dogs, not ugly women)
 

I picked up a new puppy lately, we found him abandoned. Meghan brought him home and he has touched our hearts :)

We've named him scooter!

but, we're having a lot of trouble ID'ing his breed. We're thinking he's either a MIN PIN or a Manchester Terrier, but are having great difficulty in telling the difference between the two.

Eventually we'll bring him to the vet and have them tell us but for now we're hoping someone here can solve this burning question.

Also, if you're good enough to spot the breed... any idea of age? how much bigger/heavier will he get?

I think either way we're going to end up keeping the bastard but we want to make sure we're not getting into something we're not prepared for ;)

Thanks!

Can't tell but he is a very cool looking little dog

He's got all the markings of a dobe.

Looks like two that I got a few years back - that turned out to be "Heinz 57ers" - a mix of a whole bunch of stuff LOL

BTW - I probably forgot to mention Boogie - but you are a lucky man with Meg - she is HOT!!!! :thumbsup (of course you already knew that) :)

thank you linkster :)

we're leaning more towards the terrier breed, cause of certain markings but i appreciate all the help :)

Mini-pinscher mix, definitely.

looks like a pinscher pre-ear and tail snip.

thats a nice looking Dog!... .You are very lucky to have him.

Dogs r0ck!

wow.. really cute little puppy...
