Hello everyone! My name is Michelle and I’m new to the group. Needing to know if anyone can tell me the breed if my new puppy. I was looking for a chihuahua and my friend called and told me about this little guy. I saw both parents and the mom was a chihuahua but don’t know what the dad was and neither did the owners lol. If anyone has any idea I would really appreciate it!! This is Tucker and he’s 7 weeks old and just under 3lbs

If the mother is chihuahua then the dog is one half chihuahua, unless of course the mother is a mix.
The other half? Anyone's guess, although I suspect this puppy will stay small. At any rate, you don't actually have a breed of dog, you have a mixed breed dog. Which is great; mixed breeds are interesting.
If you really want to know what breeds are in the pup, you can do a DNA test. I recommend Embark. That test will tell you the major breed components in your dog's DNA, down to what is only 3 or 4%. Knowing whether your puppy has, say, terrier or poodle in the mix is not only fun but also can help to inform you about his characteristics both physical and behavioral.
Cute lil guy.
