Does anyone know what breeds my dog may be

She looks a bit yorkie but does it really matter? You could do a DNA test if it really bothers you and otherwise just accept her as a beautiful and totally unique pup who loves you.

 

Shih tzu crosses here are generally known as boomer dogs.. no idea why

 

D'you I can't make a good guess because I look at the pics and all I can think is: Gorgeous-s-s!

But she could be what they say- it can be a lottery, the gene pool. Even length of leg won't be a simple gene but several alleles. (Look at people- my friend is my height, 5'4" ish, and has a sister of 5' 8")

 

Did some googling -
She could very well be a

• shih Tzu cross Yorkie
• Yorkie cross Mini schnauzer
• shih Tzu cross schnauzer cross beagle
• shih Tzu cross beigal

and many more ...

 

Wow I have a friend who has a rescue dog called Maude and she is very much like your little cutie but her ears are very long although stand not floppy. she is definitely a Yorkie cross but could be so many others....what ever your dog is doesn't matter she is gorgeous.

 

Your dog has a bit of schnauzer in with them ears!

 

From the pics she defo looks a lot yorkie, especially the younger pics of her. She is a beautiful little dog and full of character I bet! I know it's interesting but does it really matter her breed? My 2nd yorkie I took on had a pedigree as long as your arm but looked vaguely alien like with her long body, not much fur and no teeth!( she was 12 when I got her and had been fed on cat food!).. Enjoy, I am sure she will bring you a lot of love and smiles

U can't easily mate a M Shih-Tzu to a F Yorkie - she can't support him.
Ergo, odds are very likely that such a mating would be t'other way round: F Shih-Tzu, M Yorkie.

Pups tend to mature to be at least Mum's size - if Mum is significantly smaller than Dad, they'll be in-between, as a tiny dam can't whelp a massive pup. A too-small bitch bred to a too-big sire can die, if her pups outgrow her pelvic girdle - Nature tries to limit their size, but some dams will need an emergency C-section to deliver pups with oversize skulls who can't be delivered vaginally.

Looking at her, i see no reason to think she's NOT 3/4 Shih-tzu / 1/4 Yorkie cross-bred, & the fading of her black-&-tan puppy coat to blue-&-beige is perfectly normal, for Yorkie pigment.

Hi Terry I wish more people would take note of what you have said regarding mating lager male breeds to small ones like little Yorkies. Believe it or not my brother had a strange looking dog years ago which was a cross between a F Patterdale & Male Doberman. The origin owner so called breeder was known to my brother who told who him that the mating took place as a joke. The poor mum died while trying to give birth to 3 pups two of which didn't survive...lets just say that the man in question had a very rough time when my brother found out.
