Looks like a Manchester Terrier
Need DNA!

Pictures or it didn't happen. 
Looks like a white American Eskimo in snow storm.
Someday- actually posted pictures in other sub forumsPictures or it didn't happen.
She weighs 20 pounds and stands 16" so she's not a TOY anything by AKC standards (both TOY MDP and MT are like 12 pounds MAX and 13" max or so)
She acts a LOT like a terrier and is not as dainty as we first thought.
Her and Juno run about the same speed in fact Juno has to dial it up to keep up.
Mission accomplished: They completely exhaust each other. They both obey nicely and are very trainable. They bonded TIGHT, within 24 hours. Juno shows Piper the ropes, leads her during new stuff. Then become equals mostly. Juno just larger at 50 pounds.

We did a DNA test on our dog. Was told he was half husky half GSD. The husky part was right but he was more st Bernard than GSD.
Yes DNA test kit I will order today. We did Juno last year, huge entertaining mix. Husky and GSD and USA Pittie and Aus Shep, Border collie, etc
Same rescue place we got Juno, they know us. The ladies there are great! It's interesting most of the dogs come from agri areas in central California. We brought Juno, she really like Piper from the get go.
Doberman yes. Don't terriers have wirey coarse fur?
Some do, true. Look up Manchester Terrier, she is this size and they have flat hair (it is both flat and not that fine)
She is the right size for a Manchester Terrier. Way too big for Toy Dobie.

Missed them, sorry. Dog lover here, I'll save you money on the DNA test. Terrier mix, AKA a Mutt which is what we called a mix back in the day. Nice looking dog!!!!

I know but worth payin' the UOA DNA (for) Piper!Missed them, sorry. Dog lover here, I'll save you money on the DNA test. Terrier mix, AKA a Mutt which is what we called a mix back in the day.
I agree on the mix!
Juno passed out on my rug in my office. Piper out on the couch with the cats. Hilarious.
Looks like nice dog! IMO, its better to have some cross breeding, as long as the 2-3-4 breeds are reasonably suited for what you want.
By all means get the DNA test, I'm just having some fun. Enjoy them!!!!
You ALWAYS need (at least) two dogs so they can, as you've found out, wear each other out. Plus they bond and enjoy companionship since they are pack animals. Bonus if they are rescues as they are grateful and KNOW they have a second chance. That makes them super loyal.
Dog scanner app on my phone gives predominant breed as the Manchester, according to your pics. Good guess.
Edit: also shows German Pinscher in the mix.

They are quite tiny surprisingly!!
Good looking pup. I had a Feist (that's what the pound labeled them anyway) that was a very similar looking dog. Same coloring and head shape, but was a bit smaller.

No DNA test needed to tell that's a GOOD DOG!
