Description
Dog Breed: Chihuahua / Beagle / Mixed (medium coat). OTHER PETS: Lindsay is dog reactive (meaning she will bark and lunge to create space) when she feels threatened. Because of this, she would do best as the only pet in the home, where she can feel safe and secure without the stress of animal interactions. [Should Be Only Pet] OWNER EXPERIENCE: Lindsay would do best with someone that has experience with positive reinforcement to help a dog-reactive dog feel more comfortable while providing the management that she may require. [Some Experience] KIDS: Lindsay has exhibited resource guarding around her food and high-value treats while at the shelter, so she needs to be left alone while she eats her meals or while she's enjoying any kind of treat in order to avoid creating unnecessary conflict. She would do best in a home with no children and adults that can understand how to interact with her, and when to leave her alone. [Adults Only] ACTIVITY LEVEL: Lindsay loves to play and run around with her favorite people! She'll eagerly jump up into your lap for attention, and then jump off to chase after a ball at the drop of a hat. She's got a high energy level for a smaller dog, and will do best with someone that can keep up with her activity while also providing her with necessary mental enrichment to keep her healthy and happy. [Good Walking Buddy / Olympic Athlete] VETERINARY CARE: [Routine] LEVEL OF TRAINING NEEDED: Lindsay is still at the beginning of her training journey, and will do best learning with someone who can offer patience while she adjusts. Positive reinforcement training will help Lindsay not only learn her basic cues, but also help her to feel more comfortable and confident in herself! It will provide a good opportunity for her to bond with her new owner as well. [Moderate] GROOMING: Routine brushing will help to minimize shedding within the home. [Minimal]

Breed overview
Overview:
The Cheagle is an endearing hybrid, resulting from a cross between a Beagle and a Chihuahua, offering a unique blend of both parent breeds. Originating from designer breed initiatives, Cheagles typically inherit the smaller stature of the Chihuahua with the slightly more robust build of the Beagle. Their physical appearance is quite variable, ranging from short to medium coats, often in colors like black, tan, white, or tricolor, and their ears can be erect or floppy. Temperament-wise, they are generally described as affectionate, playful, and often energetic, making them suitable companions for families or individuals. Their adaptable size makes them well-suited for apartment living, provided they receive regular exercise and mental stimulation. While generally healthy, potential health considerations include those common to their parent breeds, such as patellar luxation, dental issues, and intervertebral disc disease, making responsible breeding and veterinary care essential for a long and happy life.
