This poor dog has been stray in our neighborhood for almost a month so DH and I decided to take him in. Hes super cute and I feel like he reminds me of a dog in a movie but cant think of the dog. 

Is he a pure breed or mutt?

thats what we were calling him, he was shy outside but after about a week of trying to get him inside hes a totally different dog! Almost feels like he was ours and was missing. 

He has to be shaved though, he has so many matts and sticker balls in his fur that I cant get it out. I bathed him twice and brushed him but there is just no getting around a shave :(

When you take him to the vet for his shots you can ask them to do a test to find out his breed. I think my aunt paid about $80 to find out what her black lab was mixed with.

This is my Max. He's a shih tzu/Pomeranian mix. You can't tell much about him in pictures cuz he's solid black but he has the same long hair, same tail, same ears as your little guy. So I'd say you've got a shih tzu mix. Not sure what its mixed with. He's so cute though!

I'm a licensed veterinary technician and to me I see more terrier. He might have shih tzu, but his face doesn't look pushed in at all. Maybe terrier mixed w Lhasa or Maltese. At my hospital we might put him as a terrier mix or just mixed breed. Is his hair silky like, or more like the texture of dry hair. How big is he? He's super cute :-)
