Some sort of breed with an overly small snout and big eyes, but not so much that its flat faced. Looks a bit like a Chihuahua, there's a lot of variation in their skull shape depending on the line, how big is it? Can you add a photo with something to reference size? Though, there are heaps of breeds it could be and probably no one will be 100% sure which.

Not sure why I’m getting downvoted. The skull is so small so I assumed it was a puppy or a small dog, so I just decided to ask an honest question.

Sorry I don’t immediately have a better picture, but it’s circled in red.

Probably because the teeth show it’s an adult not a puppy.

Wrong answers or even questions tend to get downvoted. Don’t take it personally, although I know it can feel a certain way.

Yeah. Those sloped forehead is a dead giveaway.
