What do a Chug, Cheagle, and Chigi all have in common?

They are all types of Chihuahua mixes!

Many people love the Chihuahua for its small size and fierce attitude. But, some want a dog that’s a little less spice and more sweet. Others may want a mix that has less yap and more charm.

There are now over 40 Chihuahua mix breeds. Dogs ranging from Pugs to Corgis are used to create adorable, pint-sized mixed breeds. Some are more like a Chihuahua, and some are more like their other parent.

Read on to learn more about these lovable mixes and find out which one is perfect for you…

Chihuahua Mixes

Chihuahua Mix Social

The Chihuahua is the smallest dog breed in the world. It originated in Mexico and is known for its big attitude and fiery heart. This tiny dog has become wildly popular in America due to being low maintenance and adaptable to small living spaces.

Over the last twenty years Chihuahuas have been bred with nearly every kind of dog.

Chihuahua mix breeds are hybrid dogs that have one parent Chihuahua and one parent another dog breed. Some of the most popular dog breeds used are Dachshund, Pugs and Corgis.

All of these mixes have their own unique and off-the-wall names. A few funny ones include the Taco Terrier and the Chug!

Some of these mixes may take after the Chihuahua, while others will not. There is no guarantee of what each puppy will look like.

The most popular five Chihuahua mixes are:

  1. Chiweenie
  2. Chi Chi
  3. Chug
  4. Pomchi
  5. Chorkie

Many of these mixes can take the best traits from their parents.

A good example of this is the Labrahuahua. Chihuahuas are frequently bred with the Labrador Retriever. This helps to produce a dog that does not have a sassy, temperamental attitude. Instead the Labrador’s easy-going, laid-back personality produces a more mellow mix.

However, it is important to research both parent breeds before you adopt.

Your mix may act more like a Chihuahua or the other parent. There is no way to guarantee what their personality will be.

1. Chiweenie (Chihuahua and Dachshund)

Chiweenie

The Chiweenie is the celebrity of this list! It is a very popular mix between a cream Dachshund and Chihuahua. These lap-sized dogs have long bodies and ears that can by floppy or upright. They can also have coats that are either long or short.

This mix goes by many different names including: Choxie, Weeniehuahua, German Taco, and Mexican Hot Dog. Who wouldn’t want a pooch called a Mexican Hot Dog?

The Chiweenie is charismatic, loyal and spunky. Many Chiweenies will get close to one family member and tend to reserve that love for only one person. This makes this hybrid best suited for singles. They will love this person dearly, though, and will always want to be close to them.

Since both parents can be anxious, the Chiweenie can easily develop anxiety about many things. They can also be yappy and bark at anything unknown to them. Apartment life may not be the best choice with this yappy Chihuahua mix.

2. Pomchi (Pomeranian and Chihuahua)

Pomchi

Bold and brash are two words to describe these fiery little mixes!

The Pomchi is energetic, playful, and a little bit sassy. It is a bossy cross between a Pomeranian and a Chihuahua.

If you are looking for a Chihuahua cross that doubles as a guard dog, then the Pomchi is a great choice. The guard dog nature of the Pomchi means that they are quite yappy and barky. They will let you know when they feel threatened or excited.

Pomchis are affectionate little guard dogs. But, they can become spoiled quickly if they are not given boundaries. Be ready to train them as soon as they come home.

The Pomchi is normally a very healthy and strong breed. Some have been reported to live up to 18 years!

3. Chug (Chihuahua and Pug)

Chug

Chug, Pughuahua and Pugwawa. These are all nicknames for the designer mix that is a cross between a Chihuahua and Pug.

If the Chug was a human being, it would be a comedian. The Chug is an absolute goofball and will make sure your life is full of laughter and smiles! However, Chugs can be heavy little balls of stubbornness. This trait is in both of its parents. They must be trained and socialized early with a lot of positive reinforcement to reduce their stubbornness.

Chugs are a good breed to have if you would like to own a Pug with fewer health issues. They are also cheaper than the $1,500 you will pay for a Pug.

They are a thicker version of the Chihuahua and with a long snout. They can have short or long coats that can be brown, black, fawn, silver, apricot, or cream.

4. Chorkie (Chihuahua and Yorkshire Terrier)

Chorkie

The Chorkie rose to popularity in the 1990s due to their small size, hypoallergenic coat and confident personality. Chorkies are energetic, silly, loyal and playful. They have all the best qualities you can expect from a lapdog.

This dog is a mix between a Yorkshire Terrier and a Chihuahua. Puppies that take after their Yorkie parent have a good chance of being hypoallergenic. So if you have allergies, the Chorkie may be an excellent dog for you.

Chorkies are also full of energy! They love to run around the house chasing after their toys. However their energy can make them become territorial of their home. Expect them to bark at most things that pass by on the street.

One downfall to this mix is that it is prone to separation anxiety. The Chorkie is very loving, but clingy. This can become a problem for owners that spend a lot of time away from home. For this reason, the Chorkie may be best for owners that work from home.

9. Chimo (Chihuahua and American Eskimo Dog)

Chimo

The Chimo is part Chihuahua and part American Eskimo Dog. The American Eskimo Dog comes in three sizes (standard, miniature, and toy), so this mix can come in many sizes too!

The Chimo does not like being left alone and is quite clingy. They love constant attention and affection. Due to their clinginess, the Chimo is an excellent dog for seniors or stay-at-home workers. This way, owners can always offer a pat or scratch.

10. Malchi (Maltese and Chihuahua)

Malchi
These fluffy little mixes are gentle, playful, and very affectionate.

The cheerleader of this list is claimed by the Malchi! As most are desperate for attention, and will do anything for a few extra scratches, they will always be cheering you on.

This energetic and enthusiastic pooch is half Maltese and half Chihuahua.

Malchis are excellent dogs for the elderly. They do not require a lot of exercise and are happy to sit on their owner’s lap all day. Their fur is usually very soft and easy to maintain, so they are low maintenance too.

Due to their extreme love and affection, the Malchi can develop separation anxiety. Crate training and socialization are important to teach them that being alone is okay.

11. Chigi (Chihuahua and Corgi)

Chigi

As adults these tiny dogs stand just 7 to 12 inches tall. Since the Chigi is tiny, it would be best not to have children in the house. A Chigi may also have the instinct to herd small children, as Corgis are herding dogs.

12. Taco Terrier (Toy Fox Terrier and Chihuahua)

Taco Terrier
Just like the food, the Taco Terrier is tasty and spicy.

The Taco Terrier is a Toy Fox Terrier x Chihuahua mix. It has a few extra nicknames including: Toy Chitoxy, Toy Chisoxy, Toy Chiwoxy, and Chihuahua Fox Terrier mix.

The Taco Terrier may be small, but they do not act like it! It has a larger-than-life personality and is bursting with courage, bravery, and loyalty. These pint-size pups are excellent companions for people who live in apartments or other small spaces. Their small size also means they don’t need to spend hours exercising.

13. Chipit (Chihuahua and American Pitbull Terrier)

Chipit
The Chipit is the agility King of this list.

The Chipit is a cross between a Pitbull and Chihuahua. Typically, the Chipit has a muscular build with strong back legs.

Chi Chi
Chi Chis are vocal and always want to tell you, “Hi. Hi.”

Chi Chis are a cross between a Chinese Crested dog and a Chihuahua.

In terms of personality, the Chi Chi is a protective little watchdog who will yap at strangers.

Chi Chis do not do well with children and are better in adult-only homes or with older kids. They stick to their family like glue from day one! Although you may enjoy this trait, it also makes them prone to developing separation anxiety.

Bossy and boisterous are two words that perfectly describe a Chussel!

These little dogs are incredibly affectionate and are full of love. However, this affection can grow into neediness and possessiveness if they are not taught independence early.

Their strong desire for attention can lead to disruptive behaviors such as barking, digging, or biting. But, once trained, they are just the right balance between chill and play!

Silkyhuahuas do not require a lot of exercise. Most are happy with less than 25 minutes each day. Their low energy and calm personality make them excellent for seniors. They need an older owner who is more of a homebody.

34. Chestie (Chihuahua and West Highland White Terrier)

Chestie

When a West Highland White Terrier and a Chihuahua are mixed, they create the energetic Chestie. Chesties come with a lot of energy from their Westie parent, but their small size makes them low maintenance and good for people who live busy lives.

Chesties have a scruffy and messy coat which they inherit from the West Highland Terrier. Their fur is normally a wiry texture and can be white, black, brown, or tan.

The Chestie is loyal and loving, but also clingy. They do not like being left alone and are prone to developing separation anxiety if not properly socialized. This separation anxiety is normally because they are very devoted to their owner.

36. Chidale (Chihuahua and Airedale Terrier)

Chidale

The Chidale is a Chihuahua mixed with an Airedale Terrier. They are very similar to the Chussel as they are an independent and headstrong breed. Chidales are good with other dogs, but are timid with strangers. It is important to socialize them early to avoid stranger aggression.

Most Chidales take after the Airedale so they are longer and taller than a purebred Chihuahua.

Schipper-Chi

One of the least known Chihuahua mix breeds is the Schipper Chi.
