How big is a full grown Chiweenie?
6 to 10 inches
Like their parent breeds, Chiweenies tend to be small. According to DogTime, adults weigh anywhere from 5 to 12 pounds and measure from 6 to 10 inches at the shoulder — though your own pooch may be smaller or larger. While typically short-coated, both Chihuahuas and dachshunds can be long-haired, as can Chiweenies.
Are Chiweenies good family dogs?
Is A Chiweenie A Good Family Dog? Chiweenies can be suited to families, providing they are socialized from puppyhood. However, due to their tendency to favor one person over all others, they are best suited to a smaller household (such as singles and seniors). This dog is also a good match for couples without kids.
How do you tell if your dog is a Chiweenie?

How often should you bathe a Chiweenie?
Smooth coated breeds adhere to the general rule of dog bathing: about once every three months. The coat should end up fresh smelling, shiny, with no loose or shedding hair. First give the dog a good brushing to remove dead hair and mats.
How many times a day should a Chiweenie eat?
As a general guideline, your dog needs to eat between 1/2 and 1 cup of food every day, split into two meals. Luckily Chiweenies tend to regulate their food intake to cover their daily needs, so if you pay attention to leftovers, you’ll know pretty easily how much food she needs and when to feed her.
