Description
Dog Breed: Chihuahua / Dachshund / Mixed. Ike is a 1 year old Chihuahua mix pup who has been at our rescue for quite some time, simply due tot he fact that he is very nervous when meeting new people! He is absolutely adorable with his long legs and pointy ears, that are all the better to hear you, my dear! We have been spending a lot of extra TLC and going on extra walks and spending as much time getting used to being around people and now he has turned into a little cuddle bug! He just needed a little extra patience and a lot more love to understand that humans were not all bad and just wanted to snuggle him! If you are interested in our sweet Ikey, please visit Richardsonrescue and fill out our short adoption application and bring this silly guy into your home!

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.
