About Tanner’s Breed:
Our best guess is that Tanner is a Pug/Chihuahua mixed breed. Pug/Chihuahua mix puppies — often called Chugs — are bright, expressive, affectionate little companions who blend the Pug’s cuddly, people loving nature with the Chihuahua’s bold, curious spark. They’re typically playful, social, and full of personality, with a roly poly charm and a big desire to be part of whatever their humans are doing. As puppies, they love exploring, learning, and snuggling, and they thrive when they feel safe, included, and understood.
Their ideal home is one that offers gentle structure, companionship, and consistent puppy training. Chug puppies do wonderfully with families who enjoy playtime, positive reinforcement, and helping a small dog grow into a confident adult. They’re great for homes that appreciate a mix of independence and affection — a pup who will happily explore but also curl up in your lap. With patience, love, and a stable routine, Pug/Chihuahua mixes become incredibly devoted, joyful little shadows.
