What breed are my 4-week-old pups? Shih Tzu and Dachshund mix?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

I'm not sure what type of dogs these pups are and they are 4 weeks old. When my dog was in heat A Shih Tzu and a Dauchund both i think mated with her. Can you tell me what the two of them are?

These look more like a Shih Tzu than a dachshund. It’s awfully early to be able to tell for sure. They don’t look as long bodied as a dachshund and the thicker coat and rounder snout look more like a Shih Tzu. They are adorable regardless. You can always get a DNA test done. I’ve used the MARS Wisdom panel for my mixed breed dogs. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to help you get answers to your veterinary questions.
