What breed is my puppy? Can you tell from pictures or DNA test?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Male | unneutered | 4 months and 4 days old | 2 lbs

I’m not sure how accurate a puppies breed could be determined from viewing some pictures but would you mind making some possible suggestions to breed for me please?

As you mentioned, it’s a bit of a guessing game to determine the dogs breed based on pictures alone. However, Chappie, Candle, and Jimmy look most like Chihuahua mixes to me. There are DNA tests available, such as Wisdom panels, but nothing is 100% accurate. Regardless, they’re adorable!
