no she's a pom i'm 99.9 percent shur i have one so i would know. look at the evadince
1. she is owned by a rich family
2. she acted completly like a pom
3. you can give poms a hiar cut check my pom on my profile he's shaved
4. she was absalutly adorable( the only small dogs that adorable are poms)
5. Poms can come in any color

Okay, Chiuahuahs are bred to live in hot climates, not cold so it would be difficult ofr Dizie to live with the snow right?And even long haired chis are not as poofy as Dixie, she mostly resembles either a Shiba Inu, but the issue in that one is that Shiba Inus dont come in awhite or grey.Some say a Pommie, which I agree but maybe mixed with something else?But ofcourse when weare looking for a resmblence between pictures of different breeds of dogs and Dixie we always look fro her poofy spunk without even relizing, so maybe thats what is messing us up with this?
But here is the link to the pic that I found that make me belive that Dixie is a Pommi mix!

I think she is a poodle

Dixie is an apsla lapsa
I know dogs
great artical

I agree, but think of it: Mexico is hot and Alaska is cold. If
Chihuahuas are bred with abilities to survive in hot weather, It
doesn't make much sense for them to be in freezing weather. Does it?
Please correct me if I'm wrong. Cuz this kind of confuses me.

i agree with pupmagenheimer finaly someone says that they aren't a
friggen purebreed!!!!! *so happy* I think she's a bichon and a
pomeranian-chihuahua mix. But when you said "what would a mexican
breed be doing in alaska?" it kinda threw me off. Dogs don't only live
in the place where they originated. still, great article.

http://www.justdogbreeds.com/lowchen.html this is a lowchen(i know
its black but who cares) it does look like her a little

Precisely, graywolf....they may be based on real dogs of one
or more breeds, but of course no real dogs ever look exactly
like the cartoons, so why worry so much about it? I think of her as a Pomeranian, it's the best bet, but could she be mixed? Absolutely. Her haircut is enough like "a Pom style," Olivia_loves_Link. It's also fairly similar to a Chi. And the whole Alaska thing...we've said why that shouldn't be included in a case for what breed she could be...I'm sure there were other purebreds even at that time. Anyway I gather that her owners are probably among the richest citizens of Nome in the movie. (Relatively of course--not that they're positively loaded!)

even if they are from mexico they could still be in alaska
cuz hmm...i dont know their owner probably brought them
there....and ya she is because no breed actually looks like
she does

she mite be a pomeranian\yorkie mix that was died purple or
shes a made up pup

Of course Chihuahuas can (and do) live in cold places. (They're
everywhere, !) Seriously, you can find most breeds in most places,
regardless of where they were originally bred or why. A Chi would need
to be cared for accordingly in freezing weather, of course, but
yeah..

Anyway, Dixie's a Pomeranian, in all
likelihood--not a Bichon (those are drop-eared, non-Spitzy little dogs), but very possibly a cross of Pom with
long-haired Chi, which also resembles her. Though not QUITE as well as
the Pom.

Dix could be a mix or easily a pure Pom. She acts kinda prissy and purebred-like; I think of her
as a Pomeranian or Pom mix. Pom crossed with a long-haired
Chihuahua makes a TON of sense. She is *not* a Lhasa Apso;
they look almost nothing like her, though they are small. Yorkie neither--she's obviously not one of the long, straight, silky-coated toy dogs. And her color is unrealistic, but who cares? I love it.
Oh, and a breed's country of origin has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with where any particular dog lives. O_o

What else...Doc doesn't really look like a St. Bernard. But it's close enough. We don't really KNOW that "rich" people own Dixie...you just get the impression that they are pretty well off, especially with a daughter away at a boarding school and Dix's fancy new collar. Anyway, again it IS possible that she's a purebred, and it is possible she's a mix. I understand the "well she's not quite as fluffy all over as a Pomeranian so she must be a long-haired Chi" thing, but many Poms are deliberately fluffed and puffed up extra-poofy for photos. They're not all always that much so. Dixie definitely looks more like one than anything else--but again, Chihuahua is very close too. Heck, it's a cartoon film, what do you expect? ^^

er....or aren't lhasa apso's bigger?? I'm not sure waht kind
of breed Dixie is

She's a lhasa apso, i think. i remember that from somewhere.
good try, tho!

I think she is a Lhasa Apso

FINNALY!!!! Someone who can say they are mutts. Great, Great
artical.

How do you know that, shadow?

Actually, Dixie WAS owned by rich family, so she prolly was
a purebred.

Ok, Miles. that's one of the most useless posts I've ever
seen.

hmm, i will have to look into that one...

Doc isn't a st-bernard. St-bernards aren't grey.

She could be a pommeranian with a fancy fur-due!

I think Dixie is truely a mixed breed.

Doc is a Sain Bernard, but Dixie could be a mixed breed.
(Pom/Chihuahua cross maybe?)

Thank you, Writewolf!

I don't think it really matters.

hm, good point. who says that we have to pinpoint only one
breed per character. whose to say they're all purebred? most
of them could be mixed of many. maybe more than two in some
cases. then again, mixed breeding was usually reserved the
working class of dogs to gain strength on the teams. then
again, Dixie seems like a show dog so she might be a
purebred... perhaps we will never know for sure. until then,
keep those ideas coming great job!

What does a mexican breed have anything to do with beening
in alaska? Its not a bad thing at all you make is seem like
it is. Here in New Mexico I see huskies all the time....

Well, its a cartoon so no one looked at logic wile they were
making it. They just said something like "Hey, lets make a
small cute dog that has a crush on Steele" They didn't care
where chihuahuas were from. But I think its quite clear that
shes a Chihuahua becasue Poms have fully fluffy bodies wile
Chihuahuas (like dixie) Don't nessisaraly. the pom trait she
has is that her ears are small. She might be a mixbreed, but
I'm practicly an expert on Chihuahuas. I had one and I
reserched the for a LONG time. Dixie may not be a pure bred
Chihuahua, but she DEFINATKY has some Chihuahua in her^^

no docs an old st barnard and dixie im not sure what she is
prbelly a pure breed not a chihualua i think shes a
pomeranian tho but maybe a mix.
