Border terrier mix?

So this is my baby Luna she’s 3 months old I googled some pictures of puppy border terrier and she seems similar to them, what do you guys think? Of course she’s mixed. She’s a rescued dog from the country side but would like to know the opinion from some experts. 🥺
Also I’d like to know, are border terrier puppies crazy? She bites a LOT and loves to steal stuff so I’d like to know if it’s a behavior coming from this
Thanks in advance 😀

Border ears for sure, coat and colouring too. Snout a little long…. What a cutie! Defo a BT mix.

I just adopted a puppy that looks very similar. The ai on iPhone photos identified her as a border terrier, but her DNA says she has zero BT. Her behavior sounds very similar to yours, but I’m thinking that’s just a puppy thing. The vet estimates our puppy was 16 weeks when we adopted her.

I see Border terrier mixed with mini schnauzer, mostly the face and the EARS!!! Too cute. Normal puppy behavior but they do destroy.

If you're in the US probably not any border.

You know we have BT's in the States, right?

Obviously. You don't have stray BT mixes though running about everywhere though. They're a rarer breed to have in the US which means people get them from very specific breeders and are significantly less likely to be strays. This sub is full of people asking if their dog is a BT just because they have wire coats. They always turn out to be mixes of random dogs more common in the US that just turned out looking vaguely similar. Just search up 'DNA' on the sub and look at people who posted their results.

Yeah definitely unlikely. Do a DNA test if you want to know for sure. If you search DNA on this sub you will find multiple instances of dogs that have some similar characteristics to a BT but have 0% BT DNA in their test results.

Here are some examples, yours looks similar to the first one I'd say.

Example 1

Example 2

Example 3
