Description
Dog Breed: Dachshund / Chihuahua / Mixed (short coat). Jasmine came into rescue from the shelter. She was found as a stray. About 12 years old, and 24 pounds. Definitely needs to lose weight. She had many mammary tumors, and had surgery to remove all her mammary glands. Thank goodness it wasn't cancer, and she has recovered well, and looking for her quiet forever home. Jasmine would be the perfect companion for a retired person or couple. No young children. She's fine with other dogs. Just sleeps most of the time.

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.
