I know it's not the best picture. His hair is curly on his chest and belly. He's dirty right now so I will get a better picture tomorrow.

Did he look like this when he was a few days/weeks old?
Nugget looks like a texel to me :)

I got Nugget from a pet store. He is about 6 weeks old now. His whiskers are curly. U have a feeling he is a mix. I'll take better picks after our buddy bath. Wish me luck!!

Not sure if these pics can help with determining his breed. I've been looking online I think he is a texel or at least a mix

No hair cut yet its not long enough he is so small fits perfectly in my hand. Does this breed stay smaller then most?? There are only a few weeks difference between my other boys and nugget and he is much smaller then them. He is gaining weight though and eating all the time just curious if this is a smaller breed

Im not sure about them being smaller, but my Texel, Hagrid, is actually the largest out of my three males. :):confused::)

Thanks. He is quite the character. Very timid but he is only almost 3 months. I can tell he is going to hit puberty soon since he has very random moments of craziness ha ha. I'm glad I brought him home he is such a joy. Every time I hold him he run right up into my hair. We call him shoulder pig :p

I'd say he is probably just underweight and needs to catch up. He is a cutie though!
