Help me figure out what breed this dog is, also suggest a name.

Malkor

My mom rescued this animal from one of her tenants. I would like to know if anyone can recognize the
breed. I think he's a mutt. My mom says he's a Pekingese, but she's nuts. Also she refers to the dog as a boy or girl randomly.

Also I will take suggestions for a middle name. First name is Joates. Last name Matteer.

Thank you H/A.

Pheezer

The next time you put [HELP ME] in a thread title in H/A, I'm locking the thread and giving you an infraction. Seriously. It's SOMEWHAT IMPLIED.

Malkor

I will remember. Any ideas?

TL DR

The title does convey a sense of urgency...

Looks like there's some golden in there also.

I propose a middle name of McBarker.

JayKaos

I'll tell you exactly what that is.


Adorable.

Trowizilla

He looks like some sort of lab or lab mix. Judging by the size of his paws, I'm guessing he'll get quite a bit bigger, so make sure to teach him manners now before jumping up stops being cute and starts being painful.

Middle name: Talbot just seems right for some reason.

D'awwww!

What a sweetie! I don't see any pekinese in him, though. Maybe lab or golden retriever. Not a purebred anything, I would guess.

Looks like a cross between a Labrador and something else I'm not sure of.

What's with the dogs getting mistreated lately? I just read about the puppy thrown out of the window in the other thread and now this.

I hate people sometimes.

Masked_Mullet

definitely a breed of a lab and some sort, I would name it Sir Charles.

EggyToast

And yes, definitely a puppy and definitely will not be a "small dog."

Ioga

It looks lab-ish but the hair just doesn't look right for a lab. I'm really not sure.

Name it Pishkin.

Cojones

It looks very much like a lab cross though with what is somewhat unclear.

Call the little bugger Dimitri or Vladimir.

Silvertree

Winchester.

if you really want to know there is a blood test you can do to get the dominant breeds but it costs like 80 bucks

. i would say some golden in there. but its hard to say without an approximate age

Malkor

My sister took the puppy to the vet and I guess it went well. I'll look into the blood test thing next time I go myself. I think we've decided on 'Vlad' as a middle name. Pronounced 'Vlaaaaaaaaaaaaad' though. Thanks for everyone's help!

Good call!

How about a 'Puffy', it does look a little cream puffish to me.

CarolinaBBQ

I think that puppy just ate my heart. Too sweet.

I always liked giving pets important names. Had a teacher name one of hers Lord Ashley Cooper that I liked.
Other than that, snuggles is all I can think of when I see that little guy

LonestarRunner

Bahaha, my sister wanted to name the dog we just rescued (I have a topic about her) Snug.

Looks to me like a lab and a slight bit of pomeraian like this one. The eyes and nose look a bit similar, particularly in the first pic. Also: Cute!

Dalboz

I don't know about the lab part. It actually looks more golden retriever to me, but the face is wrong (still doesn't look narrow enough to be Pekingese, though).

Rokate

That puppy looks a lot like a dog that comes into my work for camp. It could be a goldendoodle - Golden retriever / poodle mix. Or a labradoodle - Labrador retriever / poodle mix. Anyway grats on the new addition, and make sure to get the little guy some behavior training!
Also, pugs are #1.

Bliss 101

Yeah it looks a lot like a golden retriever puppy except the head is a different shape. I'll say it's a cross between a golden retriever and a smaller dog. Retriever + poodle sounds about right. Hell, it could be golden retriever + Pekingese. A cross between a big dog and a really small one may sound unlikely, but I've seen it happen; dogs can be pretty inventive when they want to get it on.

Katholic

You should either call him Slayer, Wizard, Ghost.

Dog

alternatively. Ghost, the Wizard Slayer.

Sushisource

I agree with the part Lab. That's for sure. Other half could be Pekingese, could be a lot of things.

Hook us up with a profile shot, so we can see the bone structure and face layout.

I agree that Slayer is an amazing name for such an adorable puppy. Make sure he gets his shots and liscences and whatnot.

You could also try submitting some photos to Daily Puppy and see if you get any further opinions on the breed. They're more dog enthusiasts, so they may have better collective knowledge.
