Description
Dog Breed: Dachshund / Chihuahua / Mixed (short coat). Ryder found himself in a busy Texas shelter until he caught the eye of a rescuer who got him out of there. We believe he is a "Chiweenie" - Dachshund/Chihuahua mix - who is around 7 years old and weighs 15 lbs. He was definitely someone’s baby in the past as he is house trained and loves to sleep on a pillow. Eyes are cloudy but he seems to see just fine. We will provide more info on Ryder as we learn more about him.

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.
