What Breed Is My Dog?

We got a puppy a few days ago and the person we got him from said he was a chihuahua mix. Once he got home, we started trying to guess what he was mixed with. We see no chihuahua, but can't begin to guess what the mix is. Does anyone have an idea of what he might be?

Does anyone know what breed my dog, Odie, is? She is 4 months old and a sad lady was giving them away because she couldn't keep up with them. So far Odie is such a wonderful snuggly sweetie! She's been living with me for 2 weeks.

I'm currently working on housebreaking and the only real problem I see is she's very scared of men, pees if my husband picks her up. I suspect the man of the last household was possibly mean. Anyways I don't know what breed she is. Thanks!

Your dog has definitely got some chihauhua in her but not quite sure what the other mixture may be unless something like a jack russell or a Terrier of some kind. Who care though, their all lovealble and beautiful. The name means nothing. I'm trying to find out what a minature schnauzer and a chihauhau mixed looks like. Got any views on that!

Looks like min pin to me. I have one that is half min pin and he is 11 years old and is a great dog. He is still full of energy. Hope yours turns out as well, but beware...he kills all my yard snakes. T

Thank you guys so much. From all of your answers and a little research we are thinking he may be a min pin mix. I appreciate all of your help. Thank you so much.

He looks like he might be part Boston Terrier, I have a 13 wk old BT puppy that looks a lot like him but mine is totally black & white. No matter what he is a cutey, just give him lots of love and attention.

He does look like a min pincher/jack russell terrier mix. Terriers are a handful, I have a jack russell who's so full of energy. I wear out before he does, needs lots of training but very smart. He's adorable. Good luck

Your little puppy is so cute. Here's a pic of my puppy (chocolate on top and brown peanut butter underneath) with her daddy. They are Jack Russell/Chihuahua mix. She is 4 mos & he is almost 2 yrs. Your puppy looks like my little girl. Your puppy also looks like it could be Dachshund/Chi mix too. I definitely see Jack Russell in his face though. Whatever he is, he is just adorable. Just give him lots of love & hugs.

Maybe chihuahua and /or a mix with Miniature Pinscher/ and or Rat terrier, or as they call them now......German Pinscher ( Min Pin). As long as he stays small, bless his lucky stars. I'm a big fan of chihuahuas, Rat Terriers, and Min Pins. Min Pins are SSoooooo lively, and love to play. They also love to rule YOU! Instead of the other way around. Hope this helps, Tonia

Looks like a little beagle or some kind of terrier. Here's a good site you can look at pictures and it tells you about their personality so that may be a good way to guess what he is. It describes my Japanese Chin to a T.

He does have the same coloring as my chihuahua, Sissy. I read that some breeders were mating them with miniature pinchers to get more puppies/litter. He is sweet, though.
