What breed is my rescue dog? Could she be a Shih Tzu Yorkie mix?

Question

Was wondering if you can tell what breed my dog is we rescued her and really wondering what she is! Thinking it’s a shorkie (Shih Tzu Yorkie mix) but really aren’t sure. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Small (up to 22lb) | Female | unspayed | 2 months and 1 day old | 1.6 lbs

What a cutie pie! A shorkie is certainly a possibility, as would be a cross with a maltese (morkie), a chihuahua (chorkie) or really any smaller breed dog. Or she could potentially be a chichuahua cross as they can have this color pattern as well. If you truly want to know her breed makeup you can do a genetic test. The Wisdom panel https://www.wisdompanel.com/ is one you can order online yourself, or your vet may use another test such as one made by Royal Canin.
