could be young, neutered or cryptorchid (testicles never dropped), just guessing but sounds like a poorly groomed poodle or poodle mix.

Just saw the pic, definately poodle terrier mix

dogsgod

probably schnauzer/poodle mix

stitchinwitch

are dogs born with a stump for a tail? He was NEVER groomed - he had matted hair - found 2 ticks, etc. Maybe a poodle/terrier/schnauzer+============a pooscherrier??

lilithcat

He looks EXACTLY like my "schnoodle" just brown instead of black. He sounds like a great dog!

Oh he is CUTE!!!!
I agree with Dogsgod and Lilithcat ~ probably schnauzer/poodle mix.

What ever mix he is, God sent him to you. Just love him, which you already do. He will be your friend for life.
He is adorable.

So cute and must be shy since he won't open his eyes for the picture~! what are you naming him?

When you take him to a vet, he/she'll check for a microchip.
If no chip, then it's likely that you have been found by someone lost who was hunting for a home and loving owners. Might have been dumped by some cretin who didn't want him any more.

Never in our lives have we ever paid for an animal, we've always had rescue cats and dogs, and everyone of them were beloved by us for all their lives. And the love and protection was returned may times.

Leota

From your description....sounds like an Australian Sheep Dog

From the picture... general Heinz mixture
