Aw what a beautiful pup!

u/Antique_Display282 1d ago

Adorbs! Reminds me so much of mine! I was told mine is full blooded too but I think he has papillon in his bloodline somewhere. I could care less obviously…

Reminds me of Ditto, we called her that because she was a perfect replica of her dam (mom)

Oh my what a cutie pie, what’s his name and age? They remind me so much of my soul chi, he was mostly short hair but black and white too.

u/Antique_Display282 1d ago

Can relate to “soul chi”… 🥹 This is Micah. He’s getting older so I continually watch him like a hawk and pray over him if he’s under the weather. I’ve had him for ten years.

u/BoringJuiceBox 1d ago

What a lucky guy, I can tell he’s loved very much! Here’s my Woobie, I miss him every day.

u/Antique_Display282 1d ago

Omigoodness… 🥹 I know you gave him a beautiful life. I like to think the ones we’ve lost are still around somehow.

u/BoringJuiceBox 1d ago

He was the best+VERY loved 🥺 thank you

Soo cute! Could be his older brother 🤣

u/EclecticEthic 1d ago

Adorable! Looks like a Guinea pig with big ears.
Unless they have been DNA tested or have a pedigree, it’s hard to tell if there is a mix. I have a chihuahua that I DNA tested and he is 74% chihuahua (7 breeds all together!)
That said, he’s our all time favorite dog. We are obsessed with him.

u/No-Cranberry5312 1d ago

🥹 Very cute and thank you!

u/Bellochio88 1d ago

I think that’s a full breed long haired Chihuahua.

u/Melinoe2016 1d ago

Hard to say for sure but even if it is a mix those are usually healthier

u/Kasey_Aims 1d ago

A mix or not, still adorable 🥰 🩷

u/Bellochio88 1d ago

Absolutely adorable 🥰!

Maybe, floppy ears are kind of a giveaway but may perk up later

I hope so!

u/Confident-Try-1494 1d ago

He’s adorable

u/Deep__Deep 1d ago

You may want to check the Molera, this is on the top of the dome. All chi’s have this. As they age, the plates of the skull grow together. When that young the plates are still growing. Some close entirely, while some will have a small soft spot where the dome did not completely close. During this time the pup is vulnerable to head injury. I’ve seen it happen. You should be able to feel the soft spot. Molera or fontanelle, same thing. I mention this just so you are aware… 😊

u/No-Cranberry5312 1d ago

Thank you!

Chihuahua Holstein Friesian mix

So cute

u/Longjumping-Wolf4307 1d ago

Yes. Mixed with perfection and perchance a splash of Guinea pig in the 1st couple pics? 🐶🐹❤️

1

u/No-Cranberry5312 1d ago

Lol! He does remind me of my guinea pigs 😆😆I love it!

2

u/Sad_Money_5508 1d ago

She's a very beautiful mixed 😍

2

u/shrimp_bizkitt 1d ago

They look like full! Just like a perfect lil apple head long haired Chihuahua puppy... Very very cute. If they aren't full they are definitely mixed!

u/vintagevagabond208 1d ago

Do the embark test. They go on sale for Black Friday.

u/No-Cranberry5312 1d ago

🫡 Guinea chi reporting for duty 🐹🐶 Wheek!

u/wildleogirl 1d ago

Adorable puppy, I rescued mine as a puppy but 3 months old & he was tiny but bigger ears than this. Best dogs ever! 🥰🙏🏻🩷🐾

u/No-Cranberry5312 1d ago

Aw so truee

u/twocatsintheyard 1d ago

That is one fluffy loaf!

u/ElisLuminousLion 1d ago

Such a gorgeous pup

2

u/nhimera 1d ago

Size is a decent indicator. Compare his weight to Chihuahua size charts.

2

u/Jowxky 1d ago

Yeah a mix of cutie and patootie

3

u/Dragon_Jew 13h ago

Yes. With a guinea pig

2

u/chihuahuaqueen1 10h ago

Yes I think so

u/Deep__Deep 1d ago

That pup is not two months old! Is the pup eating solid food? It should be with its mama until at least 2 lbs. yes at least some part chi long coat but very young. What is this pup missing? The learning curve, while in the litter they learn how to play, how hard can they bite, and how hard not to bite. I would be surprised if this pup is 6 weeks old…! Still too young for its first shots.

2

u/Right-Comedian-3425 1d ago

My parents full breed chi (with pedigree papers), is not even 2lbs, and she is 11 weeks 🤷🏼‍♀️

2

u/Deep__Deep 1d ago

There will always be outliers with anything that is measured. It’s why we have a “Shaq” and “4’5 “ lil people. It is not the norm. A chi familiar vet will tell you the pup should stay with the litter until it reaches 3 months or 2 lbs.

1

u/Bellebutton2 1d ago

My full grown long coat chi is 1.5 years and weighs 2.4 lbs.

1

u/OldClocksRock 1d ago

When I got one of my Chis he was 8 weeks and weighed 13 ounces. He was a bruiser but totally healthy!

2

u/Deep__Deep 1d ago

Any reputable breeder would not let a chi be released from the litter until 2 lbs or 12 weeks of age. Of course those are AKC standards. Not all follow those standards.

1

u/No-Cranberry5312 1d ago

He is 2 months and eating solid foods :) Born in August 1st

2

u/Aumeya 1d ago

That’s a full bred standard dome head (apple head) long haired Chi and it’s absolutely so adorable!

1

u/Deep__Deep 1d ago

How can you tell that pup is a full or pure bred chi? 😊

1

u/BoringJuiceBox 1d ago

Pretty much impossible to tell this young but you can do an embark DNA test!

1

u/Endless__Throwaway 1d ago

Maybe with pug?

1

u/Tiny_Requirement_584 1d ago

Looks like a long hair Chi to me.

1

u/Bebe2325 17h ago

A mix of cuteness

1

u/Ok-Gap2055 12h ago

Looks like a chihuahua to me. The snout is a little wide and the legs are thicker but it could be all that beautiful hair. Either way this is a beautiful dog. Some full bred Chis look strange anyway. You can get a DNA test but either way that beautiful pooch is a keeper!!❤️🤗😊✅
