Chiweenie

The Chiweenie, a cross between the Chihuahua and Dachshund, is a small but mighty companion with a lively and loving disposition. Typically weighing 5-12 pounds, this hybrid has a sleek or slightly wavy coat and a distinctive long body inherited from its Dachshund parent. Known for their devotion, Chiweenies are highly loyal to their families and make excellent lap dogs. They have a playful, sometimes feisty attitude, reflecting their Chihuahua lineage. These little dogs are adaptable to apartment living and enjoy moderate exercise. While their spirited nature is endearing, they can be wary of strangers and require gentle socialization.
