[Rikku]

Adopted this gal, Rikku! No clue on the breed, is there a certain location in the forum to request help identifying? Would greatly like some help for peace of mind and understanding my dog better.

Welcome to the forum, and congrats on your new dog!

Rikku is adorable! (and what a fun name) I'm not super familiar with a lot of terrier breeds, but I'd say she looks like some kind of terrier mix - maybe Westie? (West Highland White Terrier) If you're wondering about genetic health concerns, that may be a good breed to start with (maybe some terrier people can chime in?)

I don't know too much about breed specifics, but I know that one generalization of terriers is that they can be more challenging to train - all of that in-born tenacity!

For more feedback on a possible breed/mix ID, try posting in this forum, and include something like "Help with breed ID" in the title.

In any case, she sure is a cutie-pie! (We love seeing pictures on here)

Thank you for the reply. She is quick to learn some things, but can be stubborn at times and also likes to challenge me. I may end up doing one of those DNA tests after I research a bit more on their legitimacy.
