Description
Dog Breed: Chihuahua / Miniature Pinscher / Mixed. Sassy is the perfect name for this petite frisky young girl. She is about one year and 15 pounds and VERY people focused and affectionate. Sassy lived with another dog and got along great. We think she would do well in a home with dogs - but is also fine without. Sassy came to us when her owner unexpectedly passed away. She is used to living in a home with loving people and can't wait to find her forever home. Sassy enjoys walks and wants to say hello to all who she meets. She also enjoys scampering in the back yard, playing with toys, getting belly rubs, and snuggling up to her foster. She is housetrained and goes into her crate for the night - although she would rather sleep with a person! Sassy is brand new to PAW and we will update more as we get to know her better. PAW adopts to MD, DC, southern PA, and northern VA.

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.
