What breed does my dog look like?

Question

I got my dog, Gus, at a local shelter about a year and a half ago. I never really could tell what kind of dog he was; all the shelter told me was some kind of terrier mix. I've gotten lots of opinions. Jack Russell, chihuahua, Yorkie, dachshund, rat etc. but nothing concrete.

He's about 15lbs (chunky), and stands maybe 10 inches tall, if I had to guess. He has a very large, barrel-y chest and a very small lower half. His front legs are short and noticeably bowed inward. His fur is wiry and long, and he hardly sheds. No undercoat really.

Thanks in advance for opinions 😊

Chihuahua terrier mix for sure. Adorable!!

Short legs do mean Doxie.  The head looks a lot like a Manchester Terrier or similar.  Wire haired means a terrier too.  So I would guess at least 3 different breeds in the mix.

The face, ears and coat texture indicate some type of terrier mix, what else is a mystery.

Heinz 57 and its very doubtful there's ANY purebreds in that dog.  Horrible to see those deformed front legs.  Poor dog.
