This Shelter Pup's Tiny Body and Wiggle Tail Have the Internet Guessing Her Rare Breed Mix
Some rescue dogs are so uniquely adorable that people immediately start trying to figure out what breeds could possibly make them look that way. Some may have the look of a Chihuahuabut a coat that's not typical for the breed, or an interestingly small Dachshund who wasn't what you would expect.
In this video, we meet a cute shelter puppy who has a tiny body and a very wiggly tail. She's cute as all could be, but she's got everyone trying to guess the rare breed mix she is. Take a look!
@4evertails It should be illegal to not give me treats. They call me Sherry. I'm one of the chunkiest beagles you'll ever meet with a nose that never stops working and a tail that reaches full speed anytime the bum scratches start. My owner unfortunately passed away, and now I'm looking for a new place to call home. Until then, I'll be outside conducting backyard sniff patrols and using my little howl bark to remind you I absolutely deserve another treat. And trust me… I usually get it.

TikTok user Scott (@4evertails) shared a video of a very unique dog named Sherry, who is incredibly cute but a little confusing, because no one seems to know what breed she is.
In the clip, Sherry is very excited to bounce and rub on someone; she's very happy, and we learn more about her as the clips change. She has a very interesting look to her-the face of a Beagle, some spots on her coat like a Cattle Dog, but the tail, butt, and wiggle like a Corgi.

In the comments, people had a lot of guesses about the pup's breed and just compliments for her in general.
One person wrote, "She's honestly ridiculously adorable. Commenting so that once she is in her forever home with her very lucky people, I will know."
Another shared, "Finally some Beagle love!!!! My cousins have fostered senior Beagles longer than I've been alive!! They're the sweetest babies ever!"
Someone else added, "So cute. I think she's mixed with a Cattle Dog for the spots and a more compact body."
Other comments included, "She's gotta be mixed with Corgi," "Surely she is already adopted. She's perfect!" "Ohhhh, she's the cutest little potato," "Is her name Sweet Potato?? Cuz it should be," "She's absolutely beautiful, and you can tell she's a Velcro doggy," and "She is the most adorable chunkster ever!"

Do You Need To Know Your Dog's Mix?
Sherry might be a mystery in what her exact mix is, but according to experts, that's not really a big deal.
Trupanion explains that it's not really necessary to know your dog's true genetic makeup for anything other than making some guesses about how big they'll be when they're fully grown. It's also nice to know which typical health issues might show up in certain dog breeds compared to others.
The site explains that these dogs are a "wonderful blend" of different breeds when their pedigrees are unknown, and that there are some great benefits. With their unique and diverse blends, mixed dogs come in all sizes, shapes, temperaments, and qualities, making them an "appealing choice" for people looking to add a puppy to the family.
Since you don't know the mix, you'll have to determine your dog's exercise and grooming needs based on the pup rather than the typical needs of a specific breed. And your veterinarian can help, too.
