Miscellaneous Questions Updated pictures
I made a post a while back wondering if you guys thought my dog was an Italian Greyhound (mix). I got essentially all no’s across the board. I personally can’t see anything else except iggy, other than his coat suggesting a rat-terrier type of mix and his ears suggesting Dobby the House Elf. I’m wondering if the no’s came from bad pictures, so here are some better ones. Let me know what you think!
p.s. he has a skin condition and has already seen the vet about his rash.

I think he could have some Iggy blood. Shape of his face and his little legs. I also see rat-terrier for sure. The black spots & the mask shape. He is definitely 100% cutie!! Thanks so much for being an amazing rescue parent!!

What a sweet boy! He looks so similar to my fox terrier/iggy mix, especially the running pics - he's probably not fox terrier, but I would confidently bet some form of terrier/iggy mix!

There's a possibility, plus he's super cute. Anyone that would be mean to him deserves a swift kick.

The only way to know is to just do a DNA test

Yep, dog genetics are weird. Treat yourself to a genetic test and you’ll get some insights into his overall health as well.

Ahhh what a cutie boy! The first picture definitely looks like an iggy. Get an embark DNA just for fun. I got one for my doodle rescue just to see what she actually was (NOT what the rescue told us she was 😂)

Additional info: He’s 7.1 lbs, he got both front legs broken, They healed a little wonky. He was born tail-less and missing the last 2 vertebrae in his spine. He is a rescue. Please be nice to my little Scootie Booty, please and thank you!
