Dog Breed: Chihuahua / Dachshund / Mixed (short coat). Some dogs run straight into your arms. Gus prefers to make sure you’ve earned your spot first—and once you have, this sweet little guy will make you feel pretty special. Gus is an adorable Chihuahua mix who found himself out of time at the shelter. Being shy in a scary place can make it easy for a dog to be overlooked, but at OURS, those are exactly the dogs who tend to steal our hearts. We saw something special in Gus and knew this little underdog deserved the chance to show everyone who he really is. Gus is an observer. When he first meets you, he’ll hang back and quietly decide whether you can be trusted enough to join his very exclusive circle of friends. Give him a little time and patience, though, and you’ll discover an incredibly sweet, devoted little dog underneath all that caution. Affection is still something Gus is figuring out. He can be adorably awkward about it at first, almost as though he isn’t quite sure what he’s supposed to do with all that love. But he wants it, he’s learning to accept it, and watching him begin to relax and soak it in makes earning his trust that much sweeter.

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.
