Description
Dog Breed: Dachshund / Chihuahua / Mixed. Presenting Fred, chiweenie mix, reddish brown, neutered male, 8-10y+, 30lbs. Poor Fred found himself being surrendered at a shelter after his lifelong owner passed away and family decided they could no longer keep him. Fred is reportedly housebroken and would do best in a home without small children; he is pretty overweight and has some sore spots as a result. Fred is a sweet and just wants a quiet home and a person to stick to like glue! Fred needs a quiet house ideally without a lot of stairs.

Breed overview
Overview:
The Chiweenie, an adorable and increasingly popular designer breed, is a delightful cross between the spirited Chihuahua and the charming Dachshund. Originating in the United States, these small companions inherited a unique blend of traits from their parent breeds. Physically, they typically possess a long, low body reminiscent of the Dachshund, combined with the often-large ears and expressive eyes of the Chihuahua. Their coats can vary widely in color and texture, from short and smooth to long and wiry. Temperamentally, Chiweenies are known for being loyal, affectionate, and surprisingly energetic. They often exhibit a playful and sometimes stubborn streak, making early socialization and training beneficial. Their small size makes them well-suited for apartment living and families with older children or individuals seeking a devoted lapdog. While generally robust, potential health considerations include issues common to their parent breeds, such as patellar luxation and intervertebral disc disease, making regular veterinary check-ups important for their long-term well-being.
