Update 4/16/26 - Here is what Mimmie's foster family has to say about her personality: "Minnie is a sweetie. Her foster mom calls her Little Bug because of her huge eyes which could make her look sad if she wasn’t wagging her tail so much – her entire body wiggling with pleasure at your presence. She settles down quickly and loves to sit next to you to watch tv or will curl up on her pillow while you work. Once she settles down for her collar she walks well on a leash. We’re working on staying calm for the collar even though she’s so excited to get going. She doesn’t bark at the doorbell, or for deliveries or the postman and we are able to leave her alone with no barking. We haven’t had her long enough to introduce her to other dogs, however she is around our cat and bunny – just ignores them unless the cat tries to eat her food, and then she barks to let the cat know to move away from the bowl. She would be great addition to an adult household, and she especially loves women, although she does warm up to men if they ply her with treats and rubs." Original Rescue Story: This adorable baja mutt was rescued from the streets of Ensenada. She is a typical stray mutt trying to survive on the streets of Mexico.

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.
