What kind of dog could this be?

Hey! Sorry if this is the wrong place to post...

Every week when I go grocery shopping I pass these Condo's and this guy is always out walking the most adorable looking dog and I was just curious if anybody could help me out knowing what it might be?

It basically looks like a small version (tea cup!) of a cocker spaniel. It has the length hair and super cute ears. It's white with orange/light brown patches. I don't know how else to describe it other than c-u-t-e! lol

I'm just curious in a breed name, I have no intensions on getting one lol

lol.. Just thought i would throw in the fact that there is NO such thing as a tea cup doog in ANY breed. Its a word that BYBS and Puppy mills use to get more money for the runts that are more likely to have health isssues..

Oh sorry. It's just the word that came to mind, I was trying to say it's really little because I know there is such a thing as a mini cocker and it's smaller than that.


Actually I think you guys are right on it, except it does seem a little big, but maybe the dog I'm seeing is a puppy?
I don't know but the Cavalier king is extremely close and adorable

Thank you!

lol.. No problem, Its just one of my pet peeves.

It may still be a puppy. It could be mixed with a smaller breed dog. Have you approahed the guy with the dog and compliment it? Maybe just kindly ask what breed he is

Well I'm literally driving by every time I see him, but you don't know how close I am to just rolling down the window lol

Ehh I just needed a close enough breed because I don't know dog breeds to save my life. I rate them by cute, extra cute, and flippin adorable. It's the scientific abbreviations.

just ask the owner if they mind if you take a picture of the pup.then we can see the pup and it be easier to tell.

Rather than the usual "butterfly" Papillon, maybe it's a Papillon Phalene (moth ear)?

or a Cavachon? (Cavalier x Bichon Frise)
