No offense, but are you sure you want to breed these dogs? They will not be purebreds, and will likely be hard to place in a good home. There are many purebreds at the animal shelters, let alone the mixed breeds that end up homeless.

No, unless both dogs are the same exact breed, they will not be purebred dogs. They will be mixed breed dogs. Sorry, but that's just the way purebred bloodlines are...same exact type mama dog breeds with same exact type papa dog. And I think the dogs should be closer in size and weight than the two you have. Mini Chihuahuas usually sell for more money the smaller they are in size.
I have purebreed dogs with AKC papers and although they are registered dogs, I had them neutured. I couldn't breed purebred puppies and sell them because I have a very soft heart and I'd want to keep them all. Besides, look at the over-population of dogs and cats right now because people want a pet, but they don't want to pay to have them neutured. And if you breed the two you have now, you won't get more than $25.00 per pup at the most. Mutts don't sell for a lot of money and many people will go to their local pound to save a mixed breed puppy from being euthanized because there are so many of them running the streets or they've been given to the pound because people can't get rid of these kinds of pups.

No. Only purebred dogs of the same breed can produce purebred dogs. Once a dog has been mixed with another breed the offspring will always be mixed.
You really need to get some education. Perhaps a basic course in genetics and you really need to learn about responsible dog breeding and pet ownership. Responsible people don't breed mutts.

No. Only if sire and dam are both registered purebreds (of the same breed) are the puppies purebred.
Why do you keep asking this question? Why do you want to breed your dogs? Are you some kind of puppy pimp?? Like we don't have enough Chihuahua mixes and purebred Chihuahua purebreds in shelters as it is?

OK, here's the simpleist formula I can make.
mix+mix=mix
mix+pure=mix
pure, but poorlybred+pure,but poorlybred=poorly bred purebred
Only well bred animals should be bred, and they should be bred with well bred animals which do NOT double up on faults. This is how you breed responsibly:
1. Contact a breed club for your breed. Ask for a mentor.
2. STUDY the breed standard. Learn about dog anatomy and ask your mentor to
clarify anything you don't understand.
3. Learn what genetic faults and diseases run in your breed and test for any
that can be tested for.
4. Show your dog in conformation events to see if it is of the proper
quality for breeding. Winning doesn't always mean a dog is breeding quality,
but being around so many others that know your breed and will talk to you
will do wonders for your self-education efforts!
5. Study the past history of great dogs in your breed. You will see how your
breed has improved and progressed since the beginning of the breed.
6. Study the breed standard some more! ;-)
7. Join any Yahoo groups about your breed.
8. Live, dream and study your breed.
9. Get a good book on canine reproduction, and educate yourself about the
pitfalls, problems, and proud moments of breeding. Learn about the
physiology of reproduction, such as heat cycles and venereal diseases in
dogs, potential for problems specific to your breed, and what you need to
expect at whelping.
10. Remember that whelping (giving birth) can kill your female. Being used
as a stud dog can encourage bad behaviors common in intact males such as
territorial marking, aggression, and desire to roam from home.
11. Prepare to be broke. Breeding properly is EXPENSIVE.
12. Line up potential homes for any puppies you produce and write up a
contract. Remember to include that you will be willing to take back your
puppies at any time in their lives that they might need you. If you bring
life into this world, it is your responsibility FOREVER.
13. Prepare to spend sleepless nights attending whelping females, caring for
fading puppies or puppies orphaned, and practice cleaning up after 24/7 poop
machines.
I'm sure there are many things I missed because being a responsible breeder
isn't just a job. It's a way of life. You will live dogs. 24/7/365. There
are lots of hard decisions. There is a lot of expense. There will be pain.
But, if you do your darndest to always keep the welfare of your dogs and the
future of any of their offspring, you can go to step 14.
14. Enjoy the love and success of a job well done.

No, look at your question, you answered it yourself, if the female is not PUREBRED, and the male is,not how do you figure the puppies will be PUREBRED, no they will not be purebred..
You should not be breeding if you don't know the difference in purebred dogs and a mix breed......
Please don't produce any more mix breed puppies....
The shelters are full enough....how many times are you keep asking this same ridiculous question....

What about this don't you get? If you have Min Pin in the mix, there will always be Min Pin in the puppies. And the puppies' puppies, and the puppies' puppies' puppies.
Let me bring back the PB&J analogy for you again...
If you have peanut butter and jelly, and you mix it with some peanut butter...does that get rid of the jelly? NO. The jelly is still there.
If you have a mixed girl, ALL of her puppies will ALWAYS be mixed even if you breed her with a dog from a champion purebred bloodline.

Many have already tried mixing the two together but always end up with mutts.
This is why there are so many unwanted and homeless dogs in this world. People not understanding by breeding their dogs that aren't to better the breed, this is one of the major reasons dogs have to be put down everyday.
In my opinion it is better to spay or neuter your pets. Besides it's healthier for them anyway.

Hi... I'm going to spell this out for you really slowly....
You have two (2) mutts. When you breed (mate) those two mutts... you will only EVER produce more mutts. I was pretty sure that the last time I answered this question I made myself clear. I guess not. A mutt is a mutt is a mutt! Get it? MUTT! Mongrel. Crossbreed. Mixed breed. Non pedigreed genetic nightmare. How many ways you want it, Sister? Have your pet mutts altered. That means spay and neuter them.... remove their reproductive organs. Don't allow them to breed. There are already a TON of MUTTS being put to sleep DAILY all over the world because there are not enough homes! Think about the puppies.... be fair.

Then all your puppy's will be 3/4 Chihuahua and 1/4 Pincer. You must have two purebreds to make purebred puppy's.
