Chiweenie 153

The Chiweenie, sometimes called a Choxie, is a cross between a Dachshund and a Chihuahua. This hybrid breed originated in the United States and gained popularity during the 1990s. These dogs may be short in stature, but they are certainly not short in personality and affection.

The Chiweenie is often described as a small lap dog with a heart of gold. Although they are not recognized by the American Kennel Club, they are recognized by other canine organizations. The International Designer Canine Registry, Designer Dogs Kennel Club, and more all recognize the Chiweenie.
