Looks like a girl to me

We finally got a new chin, the pet shop said the breeder told them it was a boy but I am not so sure. There looks to be a vaginal opening to me, I honestly think we have a girl.
She is friendly but energetic so I tried to get as clear of pictures as possible. She peed while I was looking this morning so the fur was flattened, so I figured I might as well get a couple pics.

The pictures make it look like I was squishing her but I was barely putting any pressure at all, she actually was pretty cooperative, and was laying there with just my hand on top of her.

I was doing it alone,and I didn't want to hold her too tight, hopefully I can get better ones once I have help.
It looks so very much like a vaginal opening and I have learned not to trust what pet stores tell me the sex of an animal is. I have bred other species but not chins so I have sexed lots of rodents. I have only had chins as pets, but I want to know before we name her.
