Description
Posted Breed: Chihuahua / Miniature Pinscher / Mixed (short coat). Petey is an approximately eight to nine year old male Chihuahua mix. He is neutered, current on vaccinations and microchipped. Petey gets along with the other dogs at our shelter. He loves to spend time outdoors (weather permitting) playing with his shelter buddies. Petey is quite shy with people but as he gets used to you, he will "flirt" a bit with you by dancing around you and shyly coming up to take a treat from your hand. Treats are Petey's favorite and definitely help him warm up to new people. Petey may never be a lap dog, but that's ok! He is still a happy little guy who can bring a lot of joy to a family who will love and accept him just the way he is. If you would like to help a small dog in need, please consider meeting Petey! You can call 602-526-0842 and/or email chitownrescuegmail for a meet and greet appointment.

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.
