The Name "Chiweenie"
Pure-bred Chihuahuas weigh less than 6 pounds and stand 6 to 9 inches at the shoulder.

The pure-bred Dachshund (standard size) weighs anywhere from 11 to 32 pounds and stands 8 to 9 inches at the shoulder.

No Two Chiweenies Are Alike!
Here are two Chiweenies from our pack, Moose and Pumpkin.
As you can see, some Chiweenies have more Dachshund in them
and some Chiweenies have more Chihuahua in them.
As you can see, some Chiweenies have more Dachshund in them
and some Chiweenies have more Chihuahua in them.
Pumpkin looks like a long-bodied, oversized Chihuahua.
|
Moose looks like a long-legged, undersized Dachshund.

Some Chihuahuas and some Dachshunds have long hair.
Therefore some Chiweenies are long-haired and you can never be sure which breed donated the long-hair gene to the mix. It might have been both!
Some Chiweenies have stand-up Chihuahua ears and some have floppy Dachshund ears.
Does anybody in this pack have stand-up ears?
Okay, so the floppy-ear gene won the ear battle when this particular batch of Chiweenies was being genetically designed.
Chiweenies come in many different colors:
black & tan

reddish-brown

black and white
tri-colored

We here in the Chiweenie Magic Pack feel that the Chiweenie is the PERFECT little dog.
We're not as small as a Chihuahua, so we're not as fragile.
We're not as big as a Dachshund, so we're not too heavy to carry around as arm candy and we don’t take up too much room on the bed or in a lap at nap time!
We are ALL absolutely brilliant! We learn rapidly and in some cases we seem to know what our humans are thinking and anticipate their desires and intentions.
All the Chiweenies in our pack are related and have been rescued.
If you ask our humans, they will say that WE rescued THEM!
We have definitely changed their lives.
This website is all about us . . . our past, our personalities, our fun and silly daily activities.
We hope that we can bring some happiness and laughter into your life.
And we hope that we can inspire some of you to go out and get rescued by a
Chiweenie!
