35. Chiweenie: Chihuahua & Dachschund

Combine a purebred Chihuahua and a purebred Dachshund and the result is the Chiweenie, an adorable small dog that resembles the cutest characteristics of both parent breeds. While they are a delight to look at due to their loveable features, it's important to note that like both the Chihuahua and Dachshund, the Chiweenie is a very loyal dog. This means that they can be aggressive with people who are not their owners.

While the Chiweenie can be socialized from an early age to accept children, young children should not be left to play unsupervised with your Chiweenie. Fully grown, the Chiweenie can reach up to 9 inches tall at the shoulder and weigh anywhere from 3 pounds for teacup Chiweenies, all the way to 32 pounds for larger Chiweenies. Given their small space, they can be well-suited to urban and apartment living.
