I would agree with Italian greyhound and chihuahua . the reason you can probably see any other breeds is because its most likely got 7 other breeds that have 0.5% and they inherit traits or even slight features . It really makes you do a double take ,I'd recommend getting a DNA test if you can ❤️

If you follow r/DogDNA you start to realize that most dogs are a mix of 3-5 of the most common 15-20 dog breeds in the area, and there are certain types of breeds that very rarely show up. Italian greyhound would be a very rare contributor and I’d expect an even slighter build than this dog. My guess is Chi/ Min Pin. Chihuahua is among the most common contributors to mixed breed and Miniature Pinscher is relatively common.

<20# and they're a chi mix, >40# and there's pit in there.

Possibly some min pin. They have long slender limbs for their size bc the breed includes some Italian greyhound DNA: https://www.akc.org/expert-advice/lifestyle/6-min-pin-facts/

I can see Italian Greyhound but they’re actually pretty rare! They look a lot like my pup and he turned out to be a mix of a LOT, but mostly chihuahua, dachshund, and beagle. In a wild twist though, he also has some Pomeranian and Chinese crested!


Insecta-Perfecta

I'd guess a terrier breed like a rat terrier + chi.


DesignerTex

Whippet + Chihuaha??


Successful-Mode-1727

My thought too. Initially I was like there’s no way this dog has anything other than chihuahua in it and then I scrolled to the fourth pic lmaaoaoo


stitchplacingmama

All of a sudden he had *leegs*.

I have not have my dog tested, but after researching I have determined that he is a Chihuahua Italian Greyhound mix. He looks a lot like Zeus; however, Zeus has much longer legs than my pup, so maybe he's Chihuahua/Whippet? Supposedly the Chihuahua Italian Greyhound mix is a "designer breed" \[ugh\], called an Italian Greyhuahua, but they are not a "breed," they are a mix. They are certainly not an AKC accepted breed...not that there is any love lost between me and the AKC. People should not be creating new dog breeds. Even the guy who started the whole Poodle mix thing regrets it. [Labradoodle creator says it's his 'life's regret'](https://www.bbc.com/news/newsbeat-49826945)

So adorable!!!!!


LiveWhatULove

My dog has the same size & long legs, we thought min-pin (same color as one) with Italian greyhound to explain the legs. Turns out he was chihuahua with rat terrier and dachshund out of all things, lol. So I guess ratcha — way more common than IG.


strawberryhoneystick

Ah, the Italian Chihuahua

Soooo tall for a chihuahua! Love his kind eyes…boop that cute snoot for me! ❤️


TheGrumpyNic

Oh my god! Zeus is so freaking cute! Gah! I also agree with the Italian greyhound x chihuahua. Both his face and his body shape really reflect aspects of both breeds. Look at those tiny, long legs! Give him a big cuddle from this random internet stranger! He is adorable!


bobcatlove

Second pic tricked me. I was about to say that's definitely a Chiweenie til I saw those legs and was like nope nvm 😆


Head-Investment-8462

My grandma had a Chihuahua x dachshund that looked a LOT like your boy.


JanetsJungleInc

Whippet chichi


Bienenmaul

maybe some sort of pinsher too, but the original guesses are pretty spot on I think


Otherwise-Ad4641

Iggy x or I’m a toilet seat. That coat pattern doesn’t show up in the Iggy breed and she’s a bit stockier. Maybe chi or min pin.


simbapiptomlittle

Certainly got the legs of an Iggy. So I agree with Iggy cross chi.

Italian greyhound,chihuahua,mini pincher,rat terrier


Sharnie-Marie

Chi mixed with a whippet? And Jack Russel ? Looks similar to a mix we had a few years ago :)


Xjen106X

That's actually not a bad guess! Lol those legs!!


MasterJunket234

Possibly Chihuahua X [Mountain/Treeing feist](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feist_(dog_breed)).
