What Breed Is My Dog?

What Breed Is My Dog?I'm new to this and could really do with some help! My boyfriend and I bought a Pomeranian puppy last Tuesday. We had our doubts about the owner straight away, but she was too beautiful to resist and we couldn't leave her with someone we thought may not have been treating his puppies right!

Anyway I won't go into all the details, but although we absolutely love her to bits, we have major doubts that's she's a pure Pomeranian like we were told. We didn't get to see the mum or have any papers. Yes I know this was silly in our part. Don't judge; we just want your opinion on breed please. Like I said we love her no matter what, just curious! Please could you take a minute just to look at the pics I've attached and leave your opinions on what you think. She is 9 weeks old, if we can trust that the seller was telling the truth when we bought her at 8 weeks! Many thanks everyone :). Ps. Her name is Pixie.

She is probably a Pomeranian hybrid.
For your information (not judging) these types of breeders are either puppy mill owners or unlicensed "backyard breeders." They will often claim that the dog is purebred but the papers have been lost or destroyed, or they will say that they will get you the papers but never follow through.

In reality, they find the cheapest dogs they can get on Craigslist or other places that happen to look purebred to breed. The pups that look purebred are sold. The ones that don't are destroyed.

Be sure to have your puppy dewormed and started on vaccinations as soon as possible. It probably came from a place where illnesses run rampant, since these types of breeders don't like to pay for medical care. It's just one more expense.
Hopefully your puppy will be healthy and happy now. I do disapprove, but on the other hand, sometimes our hearts override our heads. We're only human, after all.

Don't know what she is mixed with. Could be Dachshund or one of the small terriers. A reputable breeder would not run ads for puppies for sale, put up a sign, or sit at Wal-Mart with a box of puppies. There will be a waiting list for puppies from a reputable breeder. Breeders of mixed-breed dogs don't care about genetics.

I owned a rescue Pomeranian/Dachshund mix. She got cataracts at about the age of 6. By the time she was approximately 10, she got heart disease which killed her. We don't mean to judge but the internet is here as you know -- plenty of information about how to buy a dog.
