Mixing it up

Mickey is a mixed breed. His mom is a Jack Russell Terrier mix and was brought to the shelter pregnant along with a male Lhasa Apso. Judging by the appearance of his sisters, it is a good guess that those are his parents.

When people see us out and about, they usually ask what type of dog Mickey is. Sometimes they try to guess.

Dachshund + Chihuahua
This isn't a bad guess, since he is a lot longer than he is tall. His radar ears are close to the Chihuahua when he's on full alert.


The worst guess I heard was, 'Is he part Pit Bull?'

Really?




Jamal likes Mickey's harness because he thinks it makes Mickey look wider and stronger across the chest. I didn't realize the effect was so stunning that it made our little 12 pound puppy look like a dog bred to take down a full sized bull.
