I have a question for dog lovers.

The community here at WBW has come to my aid many times with non-porn related questions. Well I have another. My mom has had this picture of this dog for the longest time and she loves it. She's always wanted a dog like this one. Problem is nobody has been able to tell her what kind of dog this is. I would like to get her one of these dogs as a gift but first I need to know what kind of dog it is so I can find a breeder. Anybody know?

A black Labrador in a black room with no lights or windows or cracks what so ever?







Edit: Damn, you fixed it.

the first pic hosting site I used just wouldn't display the pic so I had to upload it somewhere else.

Hrm. Dunno.

Kind of looks like a Bichon Frise, but kinda not, too.

That's not a dog


but on a serious note maybe a terrier of some sort.

Or maybe a Bologna.



It's actually called a Bolognese, but that's not as funny.



BTW, here's a big ass list of dogs with pictures.

It kinda looks a little like a Shih Tzu or maybe a Maltese when they are short cut and puppies.

Thanks for all the responses so far. It does kind of look like all those dogs. I just don't know how to be sure if it's any of those or something else entirely. I'm heavily leaning toward the Bolognese though.

@Cooper.: I agree it's not a dog. I have 2 Rottweilers myself and that's a real dog to me but my mom is in her 60's and a Rottweiler would be a lil much for her to handle.

Swiss407: You should ask Jetu (one of the crew members behind the scene) he really loves dogs!

thanks Diz I will definitely do that.

edit: who knew there were so many breeds of small, white, like-haired dogs out there? lol. They all look so damn close to each other it's really hard to differentiate between them. I'm leaning toward Bolognese but I've looked at a lot of other pics of Bolognese dogs and they all seem to have big ears where as this puppy doesn't seem to have very large ears. Do ears get bigger on dogs as they grow?

The two lower pics looks like the one in your picture. The forward folded ears and kinda fluffy puppies.

My parents just got a puppy that is 1/2 Pekenese and 1/2 some small poodle/something mix. Looks just like the bolognese pictured above. I offered to loan them my Dobe when they wanted some companionship,now, when they see how mellow my Dobe is compared to this little hyper ball of fur that has done more damage to their house than the last 5 dogs combined, i think they wished they would have. I always prefer working or sporting breeds over the cute cuddly popular breeds.

I tried to look up the dog but couldn't come further then you guys already have. The dog you want has smaller paws than the ones others showed so far.

1) Take the picture to a vet. Ask a vet.

2) It's most probably a mutt of some sort. Be prepared for that - and if that's the case you're going to have to hunt around, because puppy farms are only interested in tormenting and inbreeding pure-breeds. Thus your best bet will be the local animal shelter.

But ask a vet. They'll know. They'll also be able to warn you about certain things - such as that Dalmations, while cute, go deaf rapidly and easily, have health issues in their bones, are not the most desired animal to have around children, and are quite possibly, the stupidest members of the K-9 family.

Things like this that the picture/Disney won't tell you.

So I would ask a vet.

If anyone needs me, I'll be in my lab.

I was lookin around at some dogs when I came across these furballs and remembered that picture.
I could be wrong but it looks a lot like an Imperial Chinese.

it looks alot like a maltese X shitzu to me..
alot like the dog we got my kid..

Maltese pup. I know because I used to let them beat up my Siberian Huskies.

imperial chinese's are crossed with shitzu's as well

I mean Chinese Imperial
