She is only four weeks old and we got her from our local animal shelter. She has bowed legs and tiny ears like a bulldog. But she doesn't look like any of the bulldog puppies. She has thick, rather fuzzy, very soft fur.
I would say there is some Jack Russell in there from the markings
Just curious, did they give you a care sheet at the shelter?
A 4 week old puppy can be a lot of work as they don't usually leave their parents until at least 8 weeks old.
my mom told me 4 weeks but the papers say seven weeks. they also say she's a lab mix...but..isn't she kinda small for a lab puppy? especially a seven wk old one? shes so sweet. bless her heart, she's chewing on everything. can you give a pup her size a small bone for her teeth? or would just a toy be better?
I don't think I would even try to guess until she is at least six months to a year old.
What does the vet say about her age?
Many years ago now, we adopted a puppy from the shelter where we were living. They said he was seven to eight weeks old. The vet said he was five weeks old.
They also told us he would be a small dog maybe 15 pounds. The vet thought he might have Scottish Terrier in him. He started out at 1.5 pounds and doubled in size each of his puppy shot visits. The vet gave up when he hit 25 pounds at about six months. He topped out at about 45 pounds.
He obviously had chow, lab, and Irish Setter in his genes plus only his ancestors know what else.
All I can say is he looked like a black version of your little one when we got him.
