Okay, so my family has a male chihuahua, or so we think, and we are having a hard time convincing people that he is NOT a mix. He is standard size (nine pounds when he's in shape). His floppy ears and curly tail really make him look un-chihuahua but is it just bad genetics or a different breed? I've seen the mother and she definately looks 100% chi but I didn't get to see the father. We love him no matter what but my family would like to get some opinions on what exactly our boy is!
The chihuahua?

Uhm it's either a mix or RIDICULOUSLY outside of standards it looks mixed with some sort of terrier breed like JRT nothing about that dog says purebred chihuahua to me if it WAS i would cry at how horrid and irresponsible the breeders were.
