Description
Dog Breed: Chihuahua / Dachshund / Mixed. Opie (Optimus Prime) is soft, sensitive, and just the sweetest little puppy. He's a 10 weeks old 5.5 lbs chiweenie! He was born on transport on his way to our rescue, and has been in foster care growing up with care and positivity. He's always been independent, even at just a week old he preferred to rest separately from his siblings which was kinda odd, but it explains his little independent and quiet personality as he's gotten older. He can be a little shy and uncertain of new experiences, but like all puppies with positivity and not overwhelming them he warms up to new friends and things quickly. This age is when everything different and new can be a little shocking, but when in a supportive nurturing home they grow confident! Opie's gentle spirit is endearing and when he wants to lay in your lap he does so with a tenderness that's makes you feel like he is speaking to your soul. He's a quick study, and he absolutely loves to chase and play with toys. Chasing a flirt pole is his very favorite thing. He is beginning crate training, and has been learning the foundations of potty training well! Opie will absolutely steal your heart. Puppies adopted from Underdogs Rock!

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.
