Chihuahuas are best known for their small size and large erect ears.
The AKC (American Kennel Club) recognizes two varieties of Chihuahua: the long-coat and the smooth-coat. Many smooth-coat Chihuahuas have very thin hair, but other smooth coats have a very dense, thick coat.
Breed standards for this dog do not generally specify a height, only a weight and a description of their overall proportions. As a result, height varies more than within many other breeds. Generally, the height ranges between six and ten inches at the withers. However, some dogs grow as tall as twelve to fifteen inches. AKC show dogs must weigh no more than six lb (2.7 kg); the FCI standard calls for dogs ideally between 1.5 and three kg (3.3 to 6.6 lb), although smaller ones are acceptable in the show ring. However, pet-quality Chihuahuas (that is, those bred or purchased as companions rather than show dogs) can, and do, range above these weights, to ten pounds or even more if they have large bone structures or are allowed to become overweight. This does not mean they are not purebred Chihuahuas, it only means that they do not meet the requirements to enter a conformation show. Oversize Chihuahuas are seen in some of the best and worst bloodlines.
Chihuahuas come in many colors, from solid blacks to solid whites, spotted, or a variety of other colors like fawn (tan), chocolate, blue (gray), silver, tricolored (chocolate, blue, or black with tan and white markings), brindle, and merle. And each of these colors vary in shades and tones, as fawn can be a term to describe a tan dog from a very pale cream to a deep (almost red) tan, or any shade in between, and the chocolate coloration can range from a milky light shade of brown, to a deep mahogony brown, to a dark brown that is almost black.

a picture would help... but i have a chihuahua mix. He is a brendle color which is like an orange-brown color with tiger stripes. I was told he's a jack-russell chihuahua mix...but I think he's a rat or fox terrier mix. I know for sure he is a terrier mix because he can jump very high and he's got a lot of energy- and that is a indication he's some type of terrier. he's very lean and kinda long and his legs are tall. he only weighs like 6.4 lbs, and the vet told he that he's fully grown. here's a pic....

She may just be a larger version of a chihuahua. Some are tiny, Some are not. Mine is longer and weighs 7.5#. A vet will probably agree that she is still a chihuahua. Have a great holiday.

Chihuahuas can vary in size, as many ''toy'' breeds can. Doesn't mean they're mixed breed.
If you find reason to believe that the breeder didn't sell you a purebred, then you can request your money back.

Not a mix between a sausage and chihuahua?
It would help if there was a picture we could look at.

I'm not sure if your vet offers this service or not, but you may want to ask for a DNA test. Yes, just as with humans, dogs can have their DNA tested strictly to find out their breed.
