I guess it's official, I'm the neighborhood "Dog Lady" (chihuahua, pinscher)

[atina33]

A neighbor whom I know sent one of her neighbors over to me for advice after finding a stray.

Always nice to meet someone who's willing to help a stray.

Here he is (the dog that is)...I'm thinking he's all Chihuahua but the guy who found him said his tail is docked so many a min. pinscher?

here's a better photo---Chihuahua or Min Pin? (no tail)

Will be searching the online lost ads and will probably use both breeds as keywords.

(ugh, don't know why photos are appearing sideways after uploading---sorry)

I see min pin!
it could of course also be a poorly bred chihuahua but
the docked tail points to min pin.

The animal shelters in my area are (mostly) filled with chihuahuas and pit mixes, with a small assortment of others. I'm curious if specific breeds are attractive to certain types of owners that see them as disposable???

It's very sweet of you to become the "neighborhood dog lady".

He is definitely more Minpin than Chihuahua

I definitely see min-pin. Could be min-pin/chi mix.
