Description
Dog Breed: Chihuahua / Miniature Pinscher / Mixed (short coat). Meet Utah! Utah is currently at Chi Town Rescue waiting for a special foster or forever home. Utah originally came to the rescue years ago with a few other dogs; they were rescued from a hoarding situation. Utah is a little shy when he first meets someone new and takes time to warm up. Once he knows and trusts you, he shows you his fun personality. Utah loves to go out to the play yard and if you sit with him, he'll definitely roll over to get lots of belly rubs. Utah enjoys chasing and chewing on toys (especially squeaky toys). He also loves sniffing in the sunshine with his fellow Chi Town dogs, then hanging out in his kennel for some chill time. Utah gets along with the other small dogs at the rescue but he doesn't like big dogs. Utah is approximately ten-years-old but he is definitely a "young" senior that enjoys playing with his kennel mates and time out in the play yard. He is neutered, has a microchip, updated vaccines, and recent dental. Utah needs an adopter or foster who will give him time to adjust to a new home, and love him just the way he is. He will need a home with a secure, fenced yard (no apartments please, as Utah is not leash-trained) and no small children.

Breed overview
Overview:
The Chipin, a lively cross between the Chihuahua and Miniature Pinscher, originated in the United States as a designer breed. These small yet sturdy dogs typically weigh between 5-10 pounds, boasting a short, smooth coat that comes in various colors like black, tan, chocolate, and fawn. Physically, they often inherit the Chihuahua’s apple-shaped head or the Miniature Pinscher’s sleek build, with expressive eyes and alert ears. Temperamentally, Chipins are known for being affectionate, energetic, and surprisingly courageous, often displaying a "big dog" personality in a small package. They can be excellent companions for individuals or families with older children, and their compact size makes them highly suitable for apartment living, provided they receive adequate exercise. While generally healthy, potential health concerns include patellar luxation, dental issues, and heart conditions, inherited from their parent breeds. Early socialization and consistent training are crucial for a well-adjusted Chipin.
