Description
Dog Breed: Dachshund / Chihuahua / Mixed (long coat). Princess Emerald is new to our rescue and we are still learning about her. She is a 6 year old, 15 pound red, long haired, sweet dachshund mix. Her foster Mom says she can't stop playing with er adorable ears. She enjoys snuggling next to her human. She is crate trained and walks well on leash. She's very curious when I'm walking in the backyard. She seems fine with my dogs and I haven't heard a bark yet. She is happiest when her person is home or only gone for a short while. She is sleeping in the crate next to the big bed, she will whine is she needs to go out while in the crate. She sleeps through the night in the crate but that took the first few nights after surgery. She is mild mannered and has no problem taking her meds. She travels wee in a car. She hasn't had an accident in the house if taken out on a schedule. She recently was spayed, had a hernia repair and dental. She is now ready for adoption. If you are home a lot and have another dog in the home, she might be the one for you!

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.
