Description
Dog Breed: Chihuahua / Dachshund / Mixed (short coat). Meet Elsa, a petite terrier puppy with a gentle soul and a big personality waiting to shine. She may be a little shy at first and likes to take things in quietly, but once she feels safe and comfortable, her true terrier nature comes out âshe loves to run, play, jump, pounce, chew, and explore, and she has tons of energy that will need healthy outlets. After playtime, Elsa enjoys cozy naps and being near her people, and with patience, kindness, and a home that understands both her sensitive side and her energetic needs, sheâll grow into a loyal, loving companion who bonds deeply and loves wholeheartedly.

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.
