It is difficult to say since she is young but a mix including a herding breed would be a guess. You can purchase a canine DNA kit online or in some pet stores. Most are easy and require a simple cheek swab to determine breed(s). More comprehensive (and expensive) DNA tests can be submitted by your veterinarian after a blood sample is drawn.

    Gizmo appears to be Terrier mix. Beyond that, it is difficult to determine exactly. I can say, with complete confidence, that he is very cute! You can purchase a canine DNA kit either online, in pet stores or from your veterinarian. These kits, may provide greater insight into Gizmo's genetic makeup.
