It's hard to see from this picture. You may want to do a DNA test.

It is very difficult to tell a puppy's breed from a photo and especially at such a young age.

  • I had a purebred long haired chihuahua who lived to be 16 years and Yours does seem to have some of the features but I think you will have to wait until he is a little older and has formed more distinct features as well as how large he gets.

  • I was told that most long haired chihuahuas have "flags" on their tails (long hanging hair) but not sure about that.
  • Only a DNA test will tell you for sure and a DNA test will also tell other features about your dog. You can now purchase DNA test kits from most large pet stores, as well as online and also from your vet.
  • Stores and online kits cost between $40-$200 according to how "deep" you wish to check.
  • Please be sure to take your little one to see the vet so he can start his most important first year shots/vaccinations as many of these can keep him safe from life-threatening sickness.

He is cute in his fancy sweater and will probably always like to be dressed and show-off. They know how cute they are!!

Yeah. Before I would subject him to pain and you to paying for a test, I would just look at these.

Its hard to tell by looking at pictures. He looks like some pictures and then not others. Im not going to go through no DNA testing since I love him and him not being a chihuahua isnt going to make me give him away.

I just wanted other long hair chihuahua owners opinions since Ive heard different comments from people but none being chihuahua owners.

Hi Sandi - sorry but I do not understand about the "pain" part as a DNA test is definitely not painful and it is very important to have first year shots/vaccinations.
Photos are neat and helpful and may be all that anyone needs but when/if your puppy grows out of that "pure bred" look and maybe gets larger than the normal breed then you may begin to wonder what other breed mix does he/she have?

Are DNA tests necessary? Of course not; they are only for people who really want to know what mix they may have or for future health reasons.
Or if they also want to know if they were misled if someone "told" them this pup was a pure bred and their looks/size begin to change.

I did some research and found that its a: Husky/Rat Terrier mix, If you look up husky rat terrier mix puppys the dark colored ones look like your little cutie pie!
