Shiel Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 Hi! I am a new dog owner. Me and my husband adopted memphis who is 4 yrs old on an adoption agency. He is definitely a mix but with what? So adorable and intelligent. Pls help! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dog person Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 Cairn mixed with Shih Tzu? Poodle? There is a dog DNA test you can take if you really must know :-) I think Wisdom Panel is the one that vets recommend. Ask your vet about it.

pkcrossley Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 that is a very cairny looking dog. i would also suspect shih-tzue or lhasa apso. how about behavior? you might get the best of both! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hheldorfer Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 The coat definitely looks Cairn-ish. Is it soft or rough? Either way, I think we can let Memphis join the club as an honorary Cairn. 😉 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sanford Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 (edited) Sweet!❤️ Whatever Memphis is, he's irresistible! Edited April 18, 2018 by sanford Quote FEAR THE CAIRN! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shiel Posted April 18, 2018 Author Share Posted April 18, 2018 Behavior alert and loves to be outdoors. Sweet and loves to be pet. when we got him his coat is kind of wiry / rough on top and soft under. Then the grooming cut it. I was wondering because of his ears and he is kind of long. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradl Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 The adorable, intelligent, and wiry coat are plausibly Cairn The round eyes and flop ears put me a bit in mind of a Yorkie although the size doesn't … but honestly I am *terrible* at mix ID guessing. Memphis (great name) looks to be a delight. Enjoy! Quote CAIRNTALK: Questions?

Hillscreek Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 The coat does look and sound cairnish. You are a very cute dog Memphis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pkcrossley Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 i'm worse at this than brad but i'm still going with shih-tsu (or lhasa apso). what a cute, cute dog. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dog person Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 (edited) I have a shih-poo, so I'm thinking maybe half and half? But, definitely cairn in there...... He has dainty feet, poodle-like? Edited April 19, 2018 by dog person Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LindaMC Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 What an adorable dog.....definitely has Cairn in him but I'm lost at what else he could be. Love the name Memphis! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
