Description
Dog Breed: Chihuahua / Miniature Pinscher / Mixed (short coat). Adoption Fee: 450. Meet Carlo — He’s decided that laps, arms, and blankets are his rightful kingdom, and he rules them with pure cuteness! While he doesn’t mind other dogs, he’d prefer they admire him from a respectful distance he’s not into the whole “sniffing my face” thing. Honestly, he’d probably love being the only “child” so he can have your full attention for his favorite pastime: being adored… but siblings could be negotiated with some extra treats. Carlo’s eyes have a soft, cloudy look that adds to his charm and may mean his vision isn’t quite perfect. He gets around just fine and appreciates gentle movements when being picked up or greeted. Carlo does need an adopter who is comfortable with dogs who can be expressive with their feelings. He does not appreciate being moved off furniture and can become possessive over human beds. To set him and his adoptive home up for success, he should not be allowed to sleep in a human bed but does best when placed in a kennel at night. He is not a “clothes guy” and does not enjoy being overly handled when clothing is placed on him. He can also be sensitive about harness placement. Carlo would do best in a home with one or two adults who are confident and comfortable with him. He will require an experienced adopter who has worked with dogs that are not afraid to show their sassy side. Carlo is from a local impound Carlo is from a local impound.

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.
