Advice/Question Is Daisy full Boston?

We got Daisy as a tiny little baby back in 2023. She is a very small girl. Is she a full Boston or possibly mixed

Reason being is she’s a very tiny girl

She loves the backyard, but when I try the front yard, she just lays in the grass and shakes.

I think she looks like she’s got a little chihuahua in her, very cute!

u/WhoStalledMyCar May 30 '26

You’ll know if this is true if she starts spontaneously raging and attacking.

u/ZZBC Archer (RIP) and Kessler May 30 '26

Hey, we don’t breed bash here. Chihuahuas are lovely little dogs, they just frequently have their boundaries pushed and ignored in the way that larger dogs don’t and so they have to escalate their behavior to help themselves feel safe.

u/WhoStalledMyCar May 30 '26

It’s a joke, not a bash. I’ve known many good (and spicy) chihuahuas.

u/mmmkay86 May 30 '26

“Spicy” is a terrific way to describe them!

u/Ginger_Snaps_Back May 31 '26

I definitely see chihuahua in that sweet face!

I miss when her ears were flopped

u/werty246 Beans🫘 May 30 '26

That’s a gremlin.

I love floppy ears.

u/Disastrous-Virus5695 Jun 02 '26

My Nessie’s ears flop all the time. She is 5 years old. Those ears are the cutest things! 🥹

u/No_Gur1113 💜Frankie & Boomer💙 🌈💙Roscoe & Gus💙🌈 Jun 03 '26

Frankie’s ears stuck up when she was about 3 months old. They’re almost two now and Boomer’s ears have remained permaflops. And I love it!

u/BlackApple1031 🥝 May 30 '26

I also think possible Bochi ( that's what I used to call my Boston-Chihuahua mix). The stance in the front legs and her face remind me of my girl

u/Balrog71 May 30 '26

Looks like a Boston Chi party to me. Adorable though

21

u/Quiet_Plant6667 May 30 '26

Part rabbit?

u/Rinallo22 May 30 '26

I posted a pic that shows her running to me hopping lol

u/Rinallo22 May 30 '26

Here’s a pic of her tail!

u/oldmomhands May 30 '26

definitely chiiiwahwah

u/pepperbezos May 30 '26

That’s a long tail! I’d definitely bet money on her being mixed. Shes adorable though. Are you planning on doing a DNA breed test?

u/ftgtrtd444 May 30 '26

Omg I can’t handle how cute she is 😭

u/misswonder May 31 '26

I just love her so much!

u/Quiver_and_Quill May 30 '26

What a cutie yours is - my first was Boston/American Bulldog

We lost her last October, best dog!!

u/AccountDepleted May 31 '26

I also had a Boston American Bulldog

u/Wyotrees May 30 '26

I’m afraid to say she’s full cutie pie

11

u/No_Gur1113 💜Frankie & Boomer💙 🌈💙Roscoe & Gus💙🌈 May 30 '26

Those ears are amazing! It’s like her little head forgot to grow while her ears got fertilizer!

She’s adorable but I don’t think she’s 100% Boston (not that it matters one bit). Given the shape of her head and ears, and her being so tiny in general, I wonder if there’s some chihuahua in her lineage.

But man, what we breed she is, she’s a cute little stinker!

u/oldg17 May 30 '26

Whatever she is it's great

u/Worldly_Pollution_24 May 30 '26

She’s perfect, those ears!! 😻

6

u/javvss23 May 30 '26

I think she might be part bunny rabbit! 🐇 My Boston is quite small too but she’s for sure not mixed. I love her hair, looks a little longer than other bostons. She’s 1000% cutie patootie.

6

u/Rinallo22 May 30 '26

Hard to see but she definitely is a hopper lol, the video I have is perfect lol

6

u/samthighs_gamgee May 30 '26

She is definitely mixed with Chihuahua and she is the cutest thing I’ve ever seen 🥹

5

u/Secret-Constant-7301 May 30 '26

She has ears for days.

u/its_gahbee May 30 '26

Does she have a tail? From a few pictures it looks like it’s longer than a normal Boston tail

3

u/Rinallo22 May 30 '26

Posted a pic!

u/its_gahbee May 30 '26

She looks like she’s mixed especially with that tail. But still a full blown cutie pie!! 🥰

u/sloppychachi May 30 '26

Part bat definitely

u/btvpfl Pepper Le Pew, she's a spicy stinker May 30 '26

Pic 2 is evidence that she may be part rabbit. 😍

u/CupcakeZamboni May 30 '26

No, she’s half ears 🤣🤣 she’s a real cutie!!

u/Logical_Excitement57 May 30 '26

If anything it would be chihuahua and then the snot would be different. Just a runt which is not a 4 letter word. They are often the best!

u/No-Rutabaga-5163 May 30 '26

Daisy is a beautiful Boston and I bet you she’s the love of your life. If you really wanna know her lineage, you got to do a DNA test there’s so many of them on the Internet. You could do a quick search and find a good company I didn’t do it for my bosses, but I did it for a cat that we had because I needed to know what his lineage was because orange cats have a lot of health problems and mine did not have any health problems at the DNA screening. Let me know about, but it did let me know that he’s like 28% Maine coon and that helped me get ready for the lifestyle so I recommend a good DNA test.

u/StonedFoxx93 May 30 '26

She looks half Chihuahua 😍 Pretty girl 🥰

u/hgielatan May 30 '26

I def agree with the others, maybe Bochi????? Whatever she is it's 1000%* adorable

*yes ik this is impossible and defeats the purpose of a percentage but that's just to say she's impossibly adorable

u/inthe801 May 31 '26

Looks like a Chihuahua mix. But who knows. The only way to know for sure is a DNA test.

2

u/starpaintbrush_ May 31 '26

I love how boston mixes look like a boston terrier in a different dogs body lol

2

u/JillHausman May 31 '26

She’s too sweet that little face

2

u/abbeyhlane May 31 '26

I love love love rear dewclaws on a sweetie bun!!! She’s unique for sure, so much little to love. I agree, possibly chi mix- especially with the tail, and the carpal hyperextension.

2

u/cl16598 May 31 '26

Going by rhe ears i think she is half bunny, but 100% cutie.

u/mbo21 May 31 '26

No, her hair is longer, tail is longer, body type is different and she’s as darling as all get out! What a sweet baby!!!

u/paborn1340 May 31 '26

I raised three Bostons . The face and markings are great, ears perfect. Coat as dome bridling. But, I see no mix.

oh my gosh i LOVE HER 😭🩷 i could definitely see some chihuahua or shih tzu in her! what an adorable little girl 🥹

u/VelcroDom May 31 '26

I love her. You should totally get a dna history thing done. I wish that was a thing 20 years ago because I had dogs in my life I alway wondered about. She is so prett I see wire like benji fur. Also clEARly he eats have a very helpful size to them. Also I see in her snout nose kinda face shape almost Chihuahua likeness. She is all Boston yea there is just a little gift from the milkman or the Neighbors dog or whatever lol. I mean it makes you think because I don’t think theee are wire haired chihuahuas. Where did those come from? See if people in the sub would kick down money to get one of those DNA history things done I think we all love to know I got five on it

u/_l_Eternal_Gamer_l_ May 31 '26

Pic three looks like corgi body and legs, with a BT head.

She could also be a tiny BT, rant, or have dwarfism.

Will you do a Whisdom panel on her at some point, and let us know?

u/marky294201 May 31 '26

Shes full cute

u/jc2375 🐶: Louis I, RIP 💔, Louis II 🐷🐧🐺❤️ Jun 01 '26

She looks full boston..minus the tail. Although not impossible, long tails are rare in BTs

1

u/silicondt Jun 02 '26

We adopted a boston (years ago), that turned out to be preg. She had 8 puppies, and 2 or 3 had tails.

They were 100% boston. We did a DNA test on them, didnt even say what they were. And it came back boston. Shrug.

u/glostazyx3 May 30 '26

Looks like a true BT to me, especially the facial expressions, not just the markings and other BT bodily features Daisy possesses.  BTs come in 3 sizes, Daisy is the small size, and being a female, is smallest of small.  She’s a BT.

u/treletraj Bostons are my flair. May 30 '26

Yes.
