Chihuahua Mix Dogs

Chihuahua mix dogs come in all shapes and sizes but usually tend to share the confidence, sassiness, and spirited nature that never fails to charm. Of course, a lot about the personality and looks of Chihuahua mix dogs will depend on the breed of the other parent in the combination – creating many unique and popular designer dog mixes that are loved all over the world. Here are some of the most popular Chihuahua mix dogs and all of the essential facts about them that any potential new owner needs to know.

Jack Chi 

The Jack Chi is a mix between a Jack Russell Terrier and a Chihuahua. A small breed dog known for their energetic and feisty personality, the Jack Chi is typically curious, friendly, confident, and with a lot of spunk packed into their tiny body. While the Jack Chi is considered to be an intelligent breed, they can be a bit stubborn and a handful for inexperienced owners, so arm yourself with a lot of patience when training these willful puppies. 

In terms of appearance, Jack Chis can inherit physical traits from both parent breeds, but they generally have a compact body with a short coat that may come in a variety of colors and patterns. They usually have large, round eyes and erect ears, giving them an alert and expressive appearance.

Overall, Jack Chis is an energetic, affectionate, and sociable little dog with a big personality. They make loving and loyal companions for those who are prepared to provide them with the exercise, training, and attention they need to thrive.

The result of crossing a Chihuahua with a Dachshund, the Chiweenie is loved for their energetic and lively personality. Chiweenies are often described as loving, playful, and charming, and when trained and socialized on time, they make great pets for families of all shapes and sizes. Despite their small size, Chiweenies can be bold and confident, sometimes exhibiting protective behavior towards their owners – surprisingly enough, these tiny dogs make excellent watchdogs and will alert you to people approaching the house.

Chiweenies typically have a small body with a long back, and their coats can be either short or long, coming in a variety of colors, textures, and patterns. Their appearance is characterized by their unique and endearing features, such as large, round eyes and either floppy or erect ears.

In summary, Chiweenies are spirited and affectionate companions that require proper care, training, and socialization. They are best suited for experienced dog owners who can provide them with the attention, exercise, and mental stimulation they need to thrive. 

Pom-Chi

The Pom-Chi is a small mixed-breed dog that comes from a Pomeranian and a Chihuahua parent. They are known for their bold and spunky nature, with a confident and lively temperament that transcends their pint-sized bodies. Pom-Chis are loving and affectionate towards their families but may be wary of strangers if not properly socialized. This makes them excellent little watchdogs – and prone to barking, too.

Popular in part for their adorable looks, Pom-Chis have a compact body with a fluffy coat that comes in various colors. They have short muzzles, expressive dark eyes, and erect ears, which only makes them cuter when they act all big and tough. 

As a new owner of a Pom-Chi, it's important to be aware of their high energy levels and provide them with regular exercise and mental stimulation. They are intelligent dogs but can be stubborn, so consistent training and socialization from a young age are important. In the end, Pom-Chis make loving companions for singles, seniors, and even families with children, as long as their needs are met from the start.

Chin-Wa

The unusual but lovely pairing of a Japanese Chin and a Chihuahua results in a mixed breed dog called the Chin-Wa, a petite but sassy designer dog that’s quickly gaining popularity around the world. Thanks to their unique parentage, these designer dogs boast a friendly personality and a loving character, often strongly bonding to a single owner in the household with unwavering loyalty. 

As both of their parents are tiny dogs, so is the Chin-Wa – their head is usually round, with large and expressive eyes, and ears that are either floppy or erect. Depending on which of the parental breeds is more dominant in the mix, their coat can vary from short and undemanding to long, flowy locks that will need regular brushing and grooming.

Even though the Chin-Wa can be rightfully characterized as a lovable dog, this breed is not for everybody. Even when trained and socialized on time, these dogs can be a bit chatty and vocal, and they do have a stubborn streak, making them a challenge to train when you’re not as experienced with headstrong breeds that have a tendency to develop small dog syndrome.

Bolo-Chi

Mixing the sassy Chihuahua with the easy-going Bolognese brought us the lovely Bolo-Chi hybrid, a breed that inherits the best of both parents and has quickly captured the hearts of many owners. Affectionate, social, and outgoing, these charming dogs enjoy being around people and other pets, so they make wonderful companions for families of all shapes and sizes.

As the Bolognese and Chihuahua parent breeds look quite different, their mix is very unpredictable in terms of appearance. A Bolo-Chi can have curly, longer fur or a short, close-clipped coat in all kinds of colors. They are not difficult to groom and can be low shedding if they take up after the Bolognese, making them a suitable choice for people with mild sensitivities to dog dander and hair. 

While they can have a tendency to bark, Bolo-Chis are moderately energetic, generally mellow dogs that are easy to train and have a mellow, adaptable character when they are socialized on time.

Cheagle

The Cheagle, as the name suggests, is a mix between a Chihuahua and a Beagle. This designer dog is known for its lively, outgoing, and friendly personality. They are often social dogs that enjoy being around people and other pets, but only if they have been trained and socialized on time. Otherwise, the nippiness and feistiness of the Chihuahua can come to the forefront. 

While generally curious and intelligent, they may also have a stubborn streak, so consistent training and socialization from an early age are important in more ways than one.

One of the cutest things about the Cheagle is their floppy ears, combined with a compact head, and large, round eyes. These are small to medium-sized breed dogs with a coat that’s generally on the shorter side of the spectrum and comes in a range of tricolor, bicolor, or solid color options. 

Despite their small stature, these dogs are quite energetic and lively, so they will need plenty of exercise to stay happy and healthy. If you’re looking for a couch potato dog, this Chihuahua mix is not the best for you – when they are cooped up and don’t have daily walks and playtime, these dogs quickly turn to destructive behaviors.

Italian Greyhuahua

The name might be a mouthful, but it’s worth the effort of pronouncing – a Chihuahua and Italian Greyhound mix dog is a gorgeous crossbreed with a lovable personality and cute looks that will win you over in an instant. Combining the meek and shy Greyhound with the sassy and bold Chihuahua produced a well-balanced dog with a beautiful personality – they are confident, friendly, and highly loyal to their families. They can be athletic and tend to have a lot of energy, so these dogs make a perfect choice for the sporty owner that prefers small breeds that can keep up with an active lifestyle.

As far as looks are concerned, the Italian Greyhuahua is typically small in size, with a slender body, long legs, and a narrow head. Their coats can come in various colors and color combinations combination of these, and are usually smooth and short, making them low-maintenance dogs that don't shed much. 

To make sure your Italian Greyhuahua reaches their potential, you will have to train and socialize them early on, to avoid some potential behavioral issues popping up – such as aggression towards other dogs or resource guarding. Additionally, have in mind that these dogs are active and will need daily mental and physical stimulation to stay out of trouble’s way!

Chidale

Perky, strong-willed, and independent, the Chidale comes from crossbreeding a Chihuahua to an Airedale Terrier. An unlikely duo, but one that produces a bold, lovable designer dog that you’ll always have fun with! Known to keep their puppy-like personalities even when they grow up, these mixed-breed dogs tend to be playful, energetic, and very affectionate when trained and socialized on time. However, be warned – they do have a stubborn streak and can be difficult to train if you’re a beginner owner.

Like with all mixed breed dogs, the appearance of the Chidale can vary depending on which parent’s genes are more dominant, but in general, you can expect these dogs to be small and sturdy, with a wiry coat that resembles that of an Airedale Terrier more, with ears that can be floppy or erect. 

If you have experience with terrier breeds or small, headstrong dogs, you’ll have no problem meeting the needs of the feisty Chidale. To thrive, these hybrids need regular exercise, a devoted owner with an assertive attitude, and lots of love and attention – don’t consider adopting one of these mixes if you can’t offer all of this in spades!
