Wow...what a cutie! He could be a mix too. He doesn't appear to have the chi legs, his are wider and to be honest the one leg is straight out but the knee looks jointed. I hope you got a written health guarantee that he was tested for patellar luxation and it doesn't run in his background. He also doesn't have the narrow slim paws that is characteristic of chis. Also he doesn't appear to have a long tail like a chi, but he has the facial markings of both breeds. His muzzle is wider then most chi's but if one of his parents were a Deer Head he could have that gene. Didn't you get any papers on him and his background before you purchased him to check out the breeders line?
He is adorable whatever he is. Hope the next time you adopt a chi, since so many are in shelters and rescues and need good homes.

I am trying to figure out if our Rudy is actually the chihuahua that I purchased him as or if he is a rat terrier; He has the familiar ears, mannerisms.... even the snorting that sometimes accompanies drinking water.. but I'm just not sure. <p></p><div>What do you think?</div><div>Thank you </div><div>B</div>
