Throwback or Mix?
My spouse and I rescued this lil guy in February. The family who surrendered him said he was a Schipperke-Pom mix, but when we got his paperwork, it looks like they bought him from a Pomeranian puppy mill. Everyone stops us in the street to ask if he’s a Schipperke, but I’m starting to think he’s a throwback. What do you think?
He’s 15 pounds, muscular, and extremely fast. His temperament is generally happy and goofy, but he barks at any unfamiliar sound in the house and any dog he sees on walks. Off leash he’s generally fine with other dogs and has zero prey drive. SUPER smart with like 60% recall lol, and very vocal. He has a lot of goofy sounds and facial expressions that seem so idiosyncratic. Also, he loves the water.. He’s a big dog in a compact body!
