Description
Dog Breed: Chihuahua / Shih Tzu / Mixed (medium coat). Please go to our website for all specific information about this dog. Our info doesn't transfer over to the adoption sites. Nanette is a darling little girl who's all ready for a permanent loving family! She's chihuahua, pug and shihtzu mixed. She came to us from a family along with her sister, Daddy and Aunt. They lived in an apartment and had never been outside. Therefore they used potty pads and have no concept of leash walking. So her family must have a securely fenced yard and should be willing to continue leash work with her. She's doing well going outside but we still leave potty pads in her xpen for use. She is lovable and affectionate. She's still not thrilled with the grooming aspect so her new family needs to be good with continuing this also with bathing & brushing whether at home or at a professional groomer so her coat will stay beautiful for life. She's good with other dogs, we don't know about cats and there were kids in her original home but we don't know ages. Older, respectful kids would be best. Prior to adoption, our dogs are spayed/neutered, vaccinated, micro-chipped and parasite treated/prevented.

Breed overview
Overview:
The delightful ShiChi, a charming crossbreed between the spirited Chihuahua and the affectionate Shih Tzu, originated from the desire to blend the best qualities of both parent breeds. These small companions typically inherit a varied appearance, often featuring a soft, medium-length coat that can be a range of colors, with their size generally falling between 6 to 12 pounds. Temperamentally, ShiChis are known for being playful, affectionate, and generally good-natured, making them suitable for many living situations. They adapt well to apartment living due to their compact size and moderate exercise needs, and with proper socialization, can be wonderful additions to families with older children. While generally robust, potential health considerations can include patellar luxation, eye conditions, and dental issues, inherited from their parent breeds, making regular veterinary check-ups essential for a long, happy life.
