im thinking it is a chihuahua…i have a rat terrier…and no, their tails are not docked unless you dock them.
and i’d think that xxs would fit a rat terrier, they usually have a lot of spots..

Where did you get her? If you got her from a shelter, she could also be a mixed breed.
Do you have a picture you can post?

Rat Terriers have docked tails and are much larger than chihuahuas. But your puppy is too young to tell for sure yet. Wait until she is like 10-12 months puppies all look alike.

You probably have a chihuahua. It probably has a resemblance to the markings of a Rat Terrier, but they are usually a lot bigger. Rat terriers ear’s can also flap down. Depending on what kind of chihuahua you have, Rat terriers usually have long legs.
