Description
Dog Breed: Chihuahua / Dachshund / Mixed. Blind - LL Hello Friends! My name is Raya, my brother and I came in as strays and sadly were never claimed... I am a shy little girl at first but once I get to know you I am all over you and giving you kisses! I am blind and have a genetic conditon called "microphthalmia" which is a disorder related to development that manifests as one or both eyes having a smaller diameter than normal. This condition can be accompanied by various issues such as corneal malformation, a smaller orbit, eyelid abnormalities, and, to a lesser extent, blindness. The two leading physical symptoms of microphthalmia include a third eyelid and small, recessed eyes. I have been Spayed, vaccinated, current on preventives and all negative on my heartworm combo test. If your willing to give me a chance please go to our website: olivebranchwv and fill out an application. I hope to see you soon!

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.
