Description
Dog Breed: Miniature Pinscher / Chihuahua / Mixed (short coat). GRACIE is a 2 yo/7 lb Mini-Miniature Pinscher who is a bundle of energy and quite the BOSS. She is demanding of attention and once in your lap gives nothing but kisses. Is crate trained and wee wee pad trained. I was told she is also house trained but with the snow and cold there is no way she is going outside. GRACIE was used as a breeder. Not sure how many litters she had in her short life but she has the residual reactions to being held in certain positions. At least that is my interpretation of her reactions. She does well with other small dogs who aren't dominant. She is treat motivated... Contact Wilma' Orphans at wilmasorphanshotmail if interested in adopting GRACIE.

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.
