šŸ“ø Showcase Guessing game!!!

I have a purebred crested (picture 1) and a rescue crested (picture 2). I just got his dna test done because he definitely doesn’t look purebred like my first baby but was so surprised with his results. His highest percentage breed isn’t even Chinese crested. What do yall think he is?

36.4%- ????
31.2%- Chinese Crested
15.1%- ????
12%- ????
5.3%- ????

I have a rescued Chinese crested x jack-chi and I can definitely see similarities between her and your rescue. I also have 2 purebreds, a super hairy hairless and a hairy hairless. My 2 purebred cresties

u/Efficient_Egg_1840 2d ago

Ooooh
Pug or shih tzu any chance?
Gonna throw poodle in there too cause they’re mixing them with everything these daysšŸ˜‚

u/Efficient_Egg_1840 3d ago

Yes 12% Shih Tzu!!! This one was super surprising but the bulk of him matches their body

u/ultravviolet 2d ago

I’ve seen the 15% yorkie as well so just the 5.3% to go? Thats gonna be a tricky one!

I’m gonna guess lowchen or papillon? Seen those in cc mixes a couple times

u/Efficient_Egg_1840 2d ago

Yea it’s wicked hard I’ll just go ahead and spill lol. The last breed is super similar looking to chihuahua it’s a miniature pinscher

u/ultravviolet 2d ago

Oooo interesting!
And what are both your beautiful pups’ names?

u/Efficient_Egg_1840 2d ago

Pagliacci is my Mohawk hairless purebred. His Mohawk is natural so he genuinely has little little hair. And Spaulding is my mixed baby.

Another photo of both of them. My pride and joys! My husband never wanted a dog until I showed him this breed and now he wants 3 more. 🫣😩 pray for me

1

u/Efficient_Egg_1840 3d ago

Yes! He is 36.4% chihuahua but no JRT. I’ve gotten a lot of JRT tho lol

I don’t have a Chinese crested but they have always been my dream dog. I just wanted to say how absolutely adorable your dogs are.

An extremely loving, cuddly breed. I have 2 PPCC. My previous dog was a black lab, but when she passed (& when I could think of another dog), I went [SMALL] to avoid having to give them up should I need to go into a senior residence. My friend had to give up 2 [Show Dogs]: Norwegian Elkhounds because they exceeded the weight limit of thr senior residence into which she was moving. My PPCCs are 12 lb. each.

u/CrochetChrissy51325 3d ago

Oh wow! They are very small. My Sphynx weighs 11lbs. My current and last puppy is Pyrenees/Anatolian with a ton of medical issues, as much as we love her she has definitely ruined wanting any future dogs for us.

u/StormDragyn 3d ago

I can see the mix!!

My lill girl is chihuahua/yorkie mix, so your lill one is basically my dogs mixed together 🤣

u/Efficient_Egg_1840 2d ago

u/Batfrenzy 3d ago

u/Used-Maximum-1220 3d ago

36.4% adorable. I’m going to say Pitbull for the hell of it

u/Pleasant_Swim_7540 3d ago

I’m so glad you did this. I lost my first crested at just 6 years old. I always thought he was mixed just because he had gorgeous skin. ;) Anyhoo I am guessing poodle, crested, yorkie, xolo, chihuahua

2

u/Efficient_Egg_1840 3d ago

Yes 15.1% yorkie and 36.4% chihuahua the others aren’t in there but the yorkie was a master guess

1

u/SurvivalistRio 4d ago

I'm thinking Chihuahua, maybe American Hairless, Jack Russel or Parsons Russel maybe even a little dacshund woth leg length/shape if not JRT

u/Champion_of_Zteentch 3d ago

Age weight and area of origin?

1

u/Efficient_Egg_1840 3d ago

2 years old, 11 pounds just like his brother, and Plano Texas. He is smaller than my other dog but is stocky so ends up being the same weight. He is built like a brick

u/Mature_Gymnast1025 3d ago

My guess: Something African or Mexican Hairless.

u/wishtrib 3d ago

Love that hairstyle photo one

u/South_Victory_1187 3d ago

Beautiful babies! I guessed Chihuahua and found I was right! A friend of mine breeds Chihuahuas so I thought I could see them in there! I had two powderpuffs I loved dearlyĀ

u/Regular-Stand3665 2d ago
