Description
Dog Breed: Chihuahua / Miniature Pinscher / Mixed (medium coat). Meet Peanut! Peanut is an 8-year-old chihuahua and min pin mix weighing about 6 lbs. He loves being with his people or snuggled up in blankies. Even if you just take 7 steps to the kitchen, he’s along for the adventure! He has good manners – he’s house trained, kennel trained, and leash trained. He adapts to your routine quickly - he knows when it’s time to leave for work and goes right in his kennel. And he’ll tell you when it’s time for walkies and sit by his leash. Is a funny, goofy, guy who does handstands when he potties and will bring you his mini tennis balls to play fetch. Is your typical chihuahua that doesn’t realize he’s tiny! A home with bigger dogs is okay with a proper introduction but NO other dogs his size. Don’t let his age discourage you - he’s an active and spry little dude! Peanut is altered, vaccinated, microchipped, and ready to find his perfect person! Peanut had a dental recently and had most of his teeth removed. He has been eating dry kibble but may want it softened due to his lack of teeth. If you are interested in meeting Peanut, please complete an online application at hopeanimalrescueofiowa.duplie/forms/196/dog-application Adoption fee is $250 which includes spay/neuter, microchip, and age appropriate vaccines.

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.
