Ike and Mister came to our North Highlands clinic for their yearly shots. They are Chihuahua mix and judging by the shape of the head, the most likely bet is that they are Doxie Chihuahua or Chiweenie. Chihuahua is by far the most common small dog at our clinics and they can be mixed with practically any breed. The advantage to a Chihuahua mix is that the mixed breed will retain the short hair and relatively small size of the Chihuahua but the presence of the other breed will have a moderating effect on the excitable and overly sensitive temperament of many Chihuahuas. Crossbreeding almost always produces a more healthy and more stable pet than does pure-breeding. – Geoffrey Antipa
