Description
Dog Breed: Chihuahua / Miniature Pinscher / Mixed (short coat). This dog is a courtesy listing and not one of our dogs. Please contact the email listed in this post. For more information about Bean, please contact Kristin at 303-506-1351 or khreidgmail Bean is a cuddly 12-year-old chihuahua min-pin mix. She was recently orphaned after the passing of her human dad. Bean is very friendly and affectionate with humans but will be best in a home with no other dogs. She has jealousy issues and can get aggressive with other dogs. She is very smart. She is house broken and can ring a bell when she needs to go out. She loves cuddling on the couch, walks, and treats! She has lots of energy and will break out into "zoomies" at least once a day. Bean has some kind of neurological condition, but it is relatively benign. She will sometimes stand with her front feet bent under, like she's standing on the back of her "wrists." She can be awkward and clumsy and will sometimes trip when running. She will fall, roll, but get right back up and keep on going! She never seems to get hurt, scared, or bothered by it. She is otherwise healthy, up to date on vaccinations, and is heartworm negative. She has no teeth, so her little tongue hangs out most of the time, but she still eats well, even dry kibble. Bean is looking for her new forever home. She has a lot of love to give her next human!

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.
