Only a DNA test will tell. But it looks like she might have some beagle in her--they ears especially.

The only way to find out the breed of your dog is through a blood test or DNA test. Your vet can perform the test or you can purchase the test online. Embark is an excellent DNA test that you can buy online. If you are interested in reading about different DNA test reviews you can find the information here:

Her muscular body and coloring don't look purebred to me. However, a DNA test will show the bloodlines.

Were you told she was a pure bred when you got her? Did they introduce you to her parents? Did you pay the cost a pure bred chihuahua? All of questions should give you an indication as to whether she is pure bred as her looks can change very much over just a few weeks (and most all puppies are adorable when young and may "favor" a certain breed but looks can change quickly).

You should be taking her to the vet for her first year health check up and very necessary shots/vaccinations (rabies shots are the law in most states) and this would be a good time for you to ask your vet what they think about her breed and you can also ask them about the cost of a DNA test.
Here is a link to information on what your puppy needs her first year.

DNA test kits are available from many pet stores, on line and from your vet. The cost is usually $60 - 200 dollars.
Here is a link to an example of a test kit but these kits are available from many sources.
