Can you guess the dog breed based on its puppy picture?

Let’s see; we have the chestnut and white patchy coat with a side of adorable freckles on the muzzle; these freckles or “ticking” as the AKC calls it may also appear on the legs and body as pups mature. If the colours and markings don’t give it away, think about this – it is a leggier hunting breed and taller than some of its spaniel cousins at around 51 centimetres and with only 14 to 27 kilograms to carry, it’s quick and agile at fieldwork.

Brittany

If it is not apparent, this pup is going to bust out and be a dog of mammoth proportions. At a whopping adult weight of 45 to 68 kilograms (and 66 to 71 centimetres tall), it’s basically like having an adult human in your house – well, except for its webbed paws. But as far as family members, this furry and ginormous lifeguard couldn’t be a sweeter, patient, and more devoted family member.

Newfoundland

Always dressed for a night on the town in its “tuxedo” coat this pup with a charming and comical personality is party portable even when fully grown at around at 38 to 43 centimetres and up to 11 kilograms. Here are two more clues – it hails from a famous East Coast city and the droopy puppy ears will eventually stand erect on the head.

Boston Terrier

A cute little burly bruiser already, this spitz-type pup is native of Japan and a symbol of health, happiness, and long life. As with all spitz-type dogs, it will have a muscular body, narrow muzzle, short and dense coat, and the trademark curled, plum tail. It will tip the scale between 32 to 59 kilograms and tower between 60 to 71 centimetres. Also, this breed has webbed toes which make them highly skilled walkers on ice and snow.
