We're fostering this little guy until he gets his balls lopped off and has all his shots and stuff. Hopealong, the dog rescue place, thinks he's a dachshund mix. But mixed with what? (Because they think he's a weiner mix, they named him Anthony. I know, ugh! I'm calling him Tony. )

His coat is brindle and to my knowledge, there are no dachshunds that have a brindle coat. My first thought was pit, because they're so many of them around where he was found and they can have a brindle coat. But he's 10 weeks and only a little over 6 lbs. The smallest breed I know of that has a brindle coat is a Boston Terrier. But Tony's face isn't smushed up like a BT. What's your guess?

Zebra!



Or border collie



OMG i want a puppy

There are brindle dachshund's and while the colouration of your pup's coat is different, the super cute faces look quite similar

Here's a brindle dachshund

I read the name of the rescue place as Hopalong because it looks like he is missing his right leg in the pic.

I misspelled the rescue place. It IS hopalong, not hopealong. http://www.hopalong.org/

And Mar, I don't think the dog in the picture you posted is actually brindle. I think a brindle coat has to have stripes? I don't know what that type of coat that is, but it looks more like a Catahoula, or Aussie kind of pattern to me. One of our females we think is Catahoula and we call her coat Urban Camo.

He's half adorable and half CUTE!

My heavens, I had no idea there were so many variations of dachshunds! You're right Mevy, upon researching a little further, the pic I posted could be a dapple pattern. But I still think their faces look alike

This site has pics of some and maybe yours is a red brindle?

He's a smart, spunky little guy for sure. When we set him outside to commune with nature, he starts zooming all over the yard, like a windup toy. And he's pretty fearless. He kept on getting too close to Loki's food. She warned him with several low growls, before almost taking his head off. Then he finally understood that no means no with her. He's lucky that my girls have a modicum of restraint when it comes to puppies

such an adorable face.


Screams 'wanna play wanna play huh huh huh?!'

I say part chipmunk.

I think pit is probably a good guess.

It must be hard not to get attached.

That kind of brindle is hard to find outside the pit family. Yeah, the dachsund coloring is called marbling, or something. Very similar to an Aussie, the blue merle's.

OMG I WANT HIM!!!!

OMG!!!! I'm in LOVE!!!!!

Well, he IS up for adoption

Notha pic:

Just seeing that pic melts my heart. I wish so much I could have him (or another doggie).

That is, seriously, the cutest face I have ever seen

Well, as cute as he is, I don't think he tops my all time personal fav for cute puppies. And that would be our other dog, Loki, getting a bath in the sink at 12 weeks of age.



We'll have to throw Tony in the sink and see what happens

Another sweetie but Tony has stolen my heart. I think he sounds a little too hyper for me but man, oh man...

Shrinkage!

He is absolutely adorable. He's a keeper.

there are weiner dogs with the brindle pattern. That is how i came accross this page because i just adopted a dog that is brindle and is weiner and jack russel. its very obvious now. I just needed to confirm the brindle in one of those breeds and yes i found lots of pics of brindle weiners.

I don't know... His adorable face is similar to the dachshund, but not quite narrow enough. I think he's a pit mix too. He is sossososo cute!

I want a Tony update! Has he been adopted since last June?
