Good to know
- A designer cross: a mix of the Chihuahua and the Dachshund, so size, coat and personality vary with the parents.
- Watchdog tendencies: both parent breeds tend to be alert and vocal, so many Chiweenies bark at visitors and unfamiliar sounds.
- Small but spirited: both parents are bold for their size, and their small frame means gentle handling around young children is important.
- A designer breed, from crossing two purebred parents, so size, coat and temperament vary more than in a purebred.
Getting out with a Chiweenie
Daily walks and some play keep them content. A mix of park time and easy trails suits them.
