Description
Dog Breed: Chihuahua / Miniature Pinscher / Mixed (short coat). Adoption Fee: $400. Mr. Buttons (aka Pancake) is a 7 yr old absolutely adorable 11 lb neutered male chihuahua. Mr. Buttons does well with other animals and kids in foster. He sticks with his pack outdoors and is housetrained. Mr. Buttons does not require a crate as he's perfectly fine out with the other dogs in the home. We're working on, "sit" with him and leash walking as he's not super familiar with a leashes job. He's super snuggly if you sit down with him. He adores people and most people adore him. Someone is gonna get very lucky with this best boy.

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.
