History of Chihuahua Mixes

The Chihuahua is a breed that has been around for centuries.

People immediately fell in love with their pint-sized bodies with larger-than-life personalities.

This love for Chihuahuas is why people decided to begin crossing the breed with other dog types. Chihuahuas mix with just about any species and the outcome is always fascinating. Whether they turn out large with Chihuahua faces or are tiny and mighty, you’re sure to enjoy a mixed Chi.

Average Weight- 5 to 20 Pounds

Average Height – 5 to 15 Inches

Trainability – Very High

Exercise Needs – Moderate

The Chi-Poo is the perfect combination of the two most popular toy breeds. Known as a designer dog, the Chi-Poo is an adorable sight to see. He is relatively small and has a beautiful personality where he can easily play around with kids of all ages.

He doesn’t require too much exercise or attention, although this cutie doesn’t mind being the center of attention. Smart, cuddly, and fun, this is an all-around versatile dog that is fluffy, tiny, and sweet.

2. Shih Tzu Chihuahua Mix (Shi Chi)

Life Span – 12 to 15 Years

Temperament – Easy-going, Kid-friendly, Shy

Average Weight- 5 to 12 Pounds

Average Height – 9 to 11 Inches

Trainability – Moderate to High

Exercise Needs – Low

This breed is undeniably cute, but its overly loving personality wins people over the most. The Shi-Chi is known for being a great family dog due to his easy-going nature, but he isn’t too good with younger kids. That’s because this canine is prone to being shy and scared, and he doesn’t like to rough house.

Overall, the Shi-Chi is a reasonably low energy pooch that would much rather spend time relaxing with his family than doing anything crazy. He is a comfortable dog to train, thanks to this Shih Tzu parent. There may be a little bit of leftover Chi independence, though, so consistency is necessary.

3. Pomeranian Chihuahua Mix (Pom-Chi)

Life Span – 12 to 18 Years

Temperament – Energetic, Affectionate, and Playful Pooch

Average Weight – 4 to 12 Pounds

There is so much to love about the Pom-Chi, from his Chihuahua face to his lion-like body and hair he obtained from Pomeranian DNA. Overall, this lioness is an adorable yet sometimes stubborn character that can be overprotective of his belongings.

As long as you don’t try and mess with his food, water, or toys, Pom-Chi is a cutie that loves to play with children and have a good time with his owner. He is playful and energetic without being needlessly hyper. He’s even good on his own, so you don’t have to worry about letting him hang in the house alone for a while.

4. Chihuahua Papillon Mix (Chion)

Life Span – 10 to 15 years

Temperament – Easy, Kid-Friendly, Independent

Average Weight- 4 to 11 pounds

Average Height – 5 to 11 inches

Trainability – Low to Moderate

Exercise Needs – Low

Chion is a mix of a Chihuahua and Papillon, although the blend tends to come out looking much more like the Papillion. He is tiny in stature but has plenty of stubbornness. This obstinate personality makes him more challenging to train than other breeds on this list.

Aside from his stubborn nature, the Chion is a fairly passionate and affectionate puppy. He doesn’t have a lot of energy needs, which is why he is not fond of children. He does much better in an adult setting.

5. Chihuahua Miniature Pinscher Mix (Chipin)

Life Span – 10 to 14 years

Temperament – Intelligent, Kid-Friendly, Low-Maintenance

Average Weight- 5 to 15 pounds

Average Height – 8 to 12 inches

Exercise Needs – Moderate

Amateur dog owners need a breed that they can easily handle and train. And the Chipin is the perfect pick. The Chipin is not only teeny-tiny and cute, but he is one of the most comfortable dogs to train on this list. He is knowledgeable, with smarts coming from both sides of his DNA.

Aside from being smart and eager to please, the Chipin is also low-maintenance in other areas. He doesn’t require much grooming at all, and his exercise demands are relatively low. He loves to play and have a good time, but it isn’t overwhelming. Kids will have a blast with this cutie pie!

6. Boxer Chihuahua Mix (Boxachi)

Life Span – 10 to 15 years

Temperament – Kid-friendly and Fun

Average Weight- 10 to 40 pounds

Average Height – 6 to 20 inches

Trainability – Moderate to High

Exercise Needs – Moderate

The Boxachi is a reasonably new Chihuahua mix that is gaining popularity with leaps and bounds. Why? Probably because he looks like a pint-sized Boxer that could easily be mistaken for a stuffed animal. But not all Boxachi are created equal. Some mixes take after their Boxer parent and can weigh up to 40 pounds.

Regardless of size, the Boxachi takes personality traits from both sides. He is sassy yet sweet. He is a bit stubborn yet sensitive. Combined, he is a family-friendly dog that can train efficiently – just as long as his owner is willing and able to take on a bit of defiance.

Life Span – 10 to 12 years

Temperament – Attention-Seeking, Loving Lapdog

Average Weight- 4 to 7 pounds

Average Height – 8 to 11 inches

Trainability – Low to Moderate

Exercise Needs – Low

The Chin-Wa might be one of the cutest dogs you will ever see. They can end up with Chihuahua or Chin ears, although that trademarked ‘smashed’ face will always be apparent. They are fluffy and fun, but don’t worry – they are very low-maintenance, only requiring a brushing once a week.

This mix is incredibly social and enjoys being the center of attention. They do not do well for long periods by themselves. However, they are a bit stubborn and are not the best breed for training. They pose quite a challenge with their inherent stubbornness!

8. Chihuahua Cocker Spaniel Mix (Chi-Spaniel)

Life Span – 10 to 12 years

Temperament – Family-friendly, Fun, Calm, and Sweet

Average Weight- 10 to 18 pounds

Average Height – 12 to 16 inches

Trainability – Moderate to High

Exercise Needs – Moderate

It’s hard to find anything not to like when it comes to the Chihuahua and the Cocker Spaniel. So, combining the two was an obvious must. The Chi-Spaniel is a loving, caring dog that hardly barks and doesn’t need a lot of activity. He would prefer to snuggle over running any day, although a good walk here and there will do wonders.

Chi-Spaniel is one of the best family dogs to own. He is unbelievably sweet with children of all ages and doesn’t mind some good old fashioned playtime. He’s also incredibly versatile and won’t mind living in small or large spaces, making him an excellent apartment-friendly option for a somewhat medium-sized canine.

9. Silky Terrier Chihuahua Mix (Silkyhuahua)

Life Span – 12 to 15 years

Temperament – Lively, Affectionate, Attention-Seeking, Stubborn

Average Weight- 4 to 10 pounds

Average Height – 7 to 10 inches

Trainability – Low to Moderate

Exercise Needs – Moderate

One thing you will notice about the Silkyhuahua is the beautiful, long hair. Surprisingly, it isn’t too hard to keep nice. A few brushes during the week will keep this long, silky coat looking top-notch.

This little toy-sized pooch is known for being an excellent companion dog. He will want to spend all of his time right by your side. That said, he doesn’t do well on his own and can succumb to destructive behaviors when left alone. Give him love, and he will give you twice as much love in return!

10. Chihuahua Pug Mix (Chug)

Life Span – 10 to 13 years

Temperament – Affection, Fun-Loving, Family Dog, Stubborn

Average Weight- 10 to 20 pounds

Average Height – 10 to 14 inches

Trainability – Moderate

Exercise Needs – Moderate

People love Chihuahuas and Pugs for two very different reasons, but it’s magical when you combine the two. The Chug typically keeps the small stature of the Chihuahua but inherits the adorable short muzzle and wrinkly face from the Pug parent.

Together, this breed makes for a fantastic family dog that can be kept in an apartment. With proper socialization and training, you can tame his stubborn side. He is excellent with kids and pets alike. The Chug’s major drawback is his immense grooming needs, and he is a very heavy shedder. Have a vacuum ready!

11. Chihuahua Miniature Schnauzer Mix (Chizer)

Life Span – 12 to 15 years

Temperament – Lively, Affectionate, Attention-Seeking, Stubborn

Average Weight- 4 to 15 pounds

Average Height – 6 to 14 inches

Trainability – Moderate to High

Exercise Needs – Moderate

If you are looking for your next snuggle buddy, look no further than the Chizer. The Chizer is, without a doubt, one of the most loving characters you will ever meet. He seems like a perfect blend between the Miniature Schnauzer and a Chihuahua; however, the Chi tends to take up a bit more dominance on the face.

While he is a cute cuddler, the Chizer is not a very big fan of children. He will do best in a household where there are no children. He is also known for his shedding-ready coat, which means you will end up picking up dog hairs more often than you might like. Aside from that, he is a perfect pooch for any apartment.

12.  Chihuahua Bichon Frise Mix (Chi-Con)

Life Span – 12 to 15 years

Temperament – Sweet, Good-Nature, Calm

Average Weight- 4 to 10 pounds

Average Height – 8 to 10 inches

Trainability – High

Exercise Needs – Moderate

One look at this tiny designer dog, and you will notice his gorgeous, large eyes that take up half of his body. He is an adorable canine in a pint-sized body. He tends to look a bit more like a Chi most of the time, especially when it comes to the ears.

But it’s not just his looks that will make you want to plop this pooch inside your handbag. It’s his personality, too. The Chi-Con is one of the sweetest, most gentle, and calm pups on this list. He is great for any household, whether you’re a bachelor in a studio apartment or a family of 6. He loves everyone and everything.

13. Chihuahua Beagle Mix (Cheagle)

Life Span – 10 to 14 years

Temperament – Active, Fun, Cuddlers

Average Weight- 9 to 20 pounds

Average Height – 9 to 14 inches

Trainability – Low

Exercise Needs – Moderate to High

Cheagle is one of the most popular Chihuahua mixes you can find. It’s no wonder why they are so immensely popular. The Cheagle will likely have the floppy ears from his Beagle parent with the face of a Chi. So charming!

Aside from his good looks, the Cheagle is an energetic pup that enjoys playing games. That is why he is such an excellent pick for families, especially those with small children. The downside to this breed is he tends to be a heavy barker, but proper training can diminish this. He also loves to cuddle, which offsets his energetic side.

14. Chihuahua Cairn Terrier Mix (Toxirn)

Life Span – 12 to 15 years

Temperament – Loyal, territorial, loving

Average Weight- 6 to 8 pounds

Average Height – 8 to 10 inches

Trainability – High

Exercise Needs – Moderate to High

The Toxirn is an interesting Chi mix because he looks almost exactly like a pint-sized fox. He has a personality and attitude to match, too. The Toxirn is known for his territorial behavior and tends to be a bit aggressive with other dogs.

Don’t worry, though. The Toxirn won’t be aggressive towards his family. That is because he is overly fond of his family, even little ones, and wants to show them nothing but sweetness and love. He is a bit on the hyper side, but you can use that to your advantage by training this canine to do some fun tricks.

15. Chihuahua Dachshund Mix (Chiweenie)

Life Span – 12 to 16 years

Temperament – Friendly, loving, people-pleaser

Average Weight- 5 to 12 pounds

Average Height – 6 to 10 inches

Trainability – High

Exercise Needs – Moderate to High

Dachshund and Chihuahuas are two very small-sized dogs. Mixing them makes them that much more enjoyable. The Chiweenie checks all the boxes for owners, whether they are amateur or novice owners. This breed is a definite people-pleaser, so he will have no trouble when it comes to being trained.

What is more, to love about the Chiweenie is that he does not require much grooming, and he is excellent with children of all ages. He simply loves to have a good time with his family. The only downside to this breed is that they love to bark. They do it out of love and good times, though, instead of aggression.

16. Scottish Terrier Chihuahua Mix (Scotchi)

Life Span – 12 to 15 years

Temperament – Spunky and fun yet difficult

Average Weight- 16 to 20 pounds

Average Height – 8 to 11 inches

Trainability – Very Low

Exercise Needs – Moderate

If you’re looking for a cutie that will give you a run for your money, let it be the Scotchi. The Scotchi looks more like a Scottish Terrier than their Chi counterpart. They are known for being incredibly stubborn, and they do not train well. That is why this dog is best for a novice owner that doesn’t mind a challenging canine.

The Scotchi is pretty spunky and fun, though, if appropriately trained. He makes a great addition to a household with adults. He does not get along with smaller children, so it’s best to avoid this pooch if you’re a new budding family.

17. Chihuahua Dalmatian Mix (Chimation)

Life Span – 10 to 15 years

Temperament – Loyal, affectionate, high-energy, companion

Average Weight- 10 to 14 pounds

Average Height – 10 to 14 inches

Trainability – High

Exercise Needs – Moderate to High

Dalmations and Chihuahuas have long been some of the most popular breeds in the country. The Chimation is a relatively new and rare breed that we will imagine a surge in popularity in the upcoming years. Why?

The Chimation is a blend of two companion dogs, making him the cream of the crop for canine companionship. Of course, he is still a bit energetic underneath all of his affection. He needs a good deal of exercise to remain calm, and he isn’t too fond of younger kids.

18. Italian Greyhound Chihuahua Mix (Italian Greyhuahua)

Life Span – 13 to 16 years

Temperament – Zesty and intelligent

Average Weight- 8 to 13 pounds

Average Height – 10 to 13 inches

Trainability – Moderate

Exercise Needs – High

With a side-eye and a zesty personality, the Italian Greyhuahua is one you will want to have around. He is known for being an intelligent dog that is relatively easy to train, as long as you can handle a bit of independence and are obstinate. Breaking through that barrier, you will find a loving and loyal canine to have in the home.

The Italian Greyhuahua is undoubtedly known for being sleek and slender. His pint-sized body is lean and mean thanks to the Greyhound DNA, but he keeps his adorable yet curious appearance from the Chi. With a spice for life, the Italian Greyhuahua is sure to add flavor to your life.

19. Chihuahua Lab Mix (Labrahuahua)

Life Span – 10 to 15 years

Temperament – Easy-going and fun

Average Weight- 8 to 65 pounds

Average Height – 5 to 8 inches

Trainability – High

Exercise Needs – Moderate to High

You read that correctly – there is a Labrador and Chihuahua mix known as the Labrahuahua. Since there is such a distinct differentiation in size, there is no telling what you will end up with. These dogs can range significantly in size and weight, so be ready for anything.

What you can expect, though, is a very intelligent canine that is easy to train. This dog gets its super fun-loving attitude from the Lab, making him great for families with children of all ages.

20. Chihuahua Yorkie Mix (Chorkie)

Life Span – 12 to 15 years

Temperament – Loving, cheerful, overprotective

Average Weight- 8 to 15 pounds

Average Height – 6 to 9 inches

Trainability – Moderate

Exercise Needs – High

The term ‘tiny but mighty’ can certainly be used to describe the Chorkie. This incredibly popular Chihuahua mix brings the best of both worlds in a tiny package. He is pretty overprotective of his family, which gives him a tendency to bark. He is not known for aggression, though, but prefers to warn his loved ones.

Aside from being protective and loyal, the Chorkie is also very cheerful. He loves to play and doesn’t shed a whole lot, making him ideal for any household.

21. Chihuahua Cavalier King Charles Mix (Chilier)

Life Span – 12 to 16 years

Temperament – Adaptable, lazy, and loving

Average Weight- 6 to 12 pounds

Average Height – 8 to 12 inches

Trainability – Low to Moderate

Exercise Needs – Low

Cavalier King Charles Spaniels are undeniably cute, but when mixed with a Chi, their ears get a bit less droopy with a Spaniel face. This brings about a unique appearance that is still incredibly gorgeous.

What people love about the Chilier is that he can go from having a good time playing around to sleeping on your lap in a blink of an eye. He is also known for being one of the most adaptable dogs on this list. He can live almost anywhere in any situation. However, he doesn’t fare well with rambunctious little ones. He prefers the company of older kids and adults.

22. Chihuahua Pitbull Mix (Chi-Pit)

Life Span – 11 to 14 years

Temperament – Energetic, loving, stubborn, bully

Average Weight- 15 to 35 pounds

Average Height – 2 to 18 inches

Trainability – Low

Exercise Needs – High

The Chi-Pit is undoubtedly an unusual mix, but one that many have grown to love and adore. The combination of the Chihuahua with a Pitbull gives the typical Chi a muscular twist. His broad shoulders are something that can’t be denied, especially on a small stature.

As far as temperament is concerned, the Chi-Pit is a loving and high-energy breed. They are so affectionate that they hate being alone. Being left alone too often can result in misbehavior. They are also known for being bullies. Proper socialization and training are essential to keep aggressive behaviors at bay. Do so, and he will be your best friend for life.

23. Jack Russell Chihuahua Mix (Jack-Chi)

Life Span – 13 to 18 years

Temperament – Extremely loving, excitable, stubborn

Average Weight- 8 to 18 pounds

Average Height –12 to 15 inches

Trainability – Low

Exercise Needs – Moderate

Jack-Chis are all around top-notch dogs. They are generally quiet, so you don’t have to worry about excessive barking. They are low shedders, too, so you won’t need to whip out the vacuum every few hours. They love to play, making them the ideal pick for a family.

Jack-Chi’s drawback is that they are on the stubborn side and maybe a bit more challenging to train. They also love everyone. If you’re looking for a good guard dog, it’s not the Jack-Chi. His loving personality is excellent for those with small children, though.

24. Rat Terrier Chihuahua Mix (Rat-Cha)

Life Span – 18 years

Temperament – Independent, cuddler, high energy

Average Weight- 10 to 15 pounds

Average Height – 10 to 16 inches

Trainability – High

Exercise Needs – Moderate

The Rat-Cha is an increasingly popular breed. Slightly larger than a regular Chihuahua with big, beautiful ears you could spot from a mile away, this eager little companion is ideal for adults who want someone to share their apartment. He doesn’t do well with small kids or other dogs, though.

This pooch is a more independent brood. Rat-Cha enjoys a lot of short bursts of exercise but prefers to do these activities on his own. However, that doesn’t mean he is not affectionate. He is loyal to one person and will enjoy snuggling on their lap night after night.

25.  Chihuahua Corgi Mix (Chi-Gi)

Life Span – 12 to 14 years

Temperament – Affectionate, alert, herder

Average Weight- 10 to 20 pounds

Average Height – 7 to 12 inches

Trainability – Moderate

Exercise Needs – Moderate

Are you looking for a pet with a whimsical appearance? Chi-Gi is your answer. This dog is the perfect mashup of two adorable breeds. They typically keep their Chi face with a Corgi body, making them a cute creature that everyone will fawn over. Their coats are easily maintained, too, which is a significant plus.

It’s not all cute when it comes to the Chi-Gi, though. He is a bit of a herder and might want to herd small children. That’s why he is better with older kids that know how to be gentle. He’s a smart cookie that can be easily trained and loves going for walks, so make sure you have the leash ready to roll!

26. Chihuahua Husky Mix (Chi-Husky)

Life Span – 12 to 15 years

Temperament – Obstinate and energetic

Average Weight- 10 to 30 pounds

Average Height – 10 to 15 inches

Trainability – Moderate

Exercise Needs – High

If you love Huskies and Chihuahuas alike, then you’re not alone. It’s easy to see why someone would want to blend these two popular and cute breeds. Together, the two species end up looking like a miniature Husky in a Chihuahua body. How adorable!

Yet, the personalities still stand. The stubborn nature of the Husky that never wants to listen, paired with Chi’s alertness, can be too much for some owners. This dog is also not great with kids. He can be overbearing, territorial, and stubborn. However, trained right, he can be a playtime pal for older individuals.

27. Chihuahua German Shepherd Mix (Chi-Shep)

Life Span – 9 to 20 years

Temperament – High-energy and independent

Average Weight- 8 to 60 pounds

Average Height – 7 to 45 inches

Trainability – Moderate

Exercise Needs – High

If you’re looking for a companion to take on your walks, hikes, and outdoor adventures, the Chi-Shep might be your best option. While this is one of the rarer Chihuahua mixes, it’s certainly one that’s garnered a lot of attention. That is mostly because of the incredible size difference and the unique appearance the two breeds bring.

As far as temperament is concerned, the Chi-Shep gets stubbornness and intelligence from both sides. You will need to start young when it comes to training.

You never know what you’re going to get when it comes to a Chi-Shep. They may be small-sized German Shepherds or larger-than-life Chis. One thing is for sure, though, they will do an enormous amount of shedding. They also need a lot of exercises, so be ready to get out and play.

28. French Bulldog Chihuahua Mix (Bullhuahua)

Life Span – 10 to 15 years

Temperament – Attention seeker, loves to play

Average Weight- 10 to 30 pounds

Average Height – 6 to 12 inches

Trainability – Low to Moderate

Exercise Needs – Moderate

Not only is the name cool, but the dog is relaxed, too. The Bullhuahua is one of the spunkier breeds on this list. They love to have fun but prefer to play with older kids and adults. They don’t like other dogs, either. They do, however, need a lot of attention to keep them happy.

The Bullhuahua also enjoys alerting their owner to strangers. Don’t be surprised if he ends up barking incessantly. Early training will help to keep his stubborn tendencies at bay. He will also need regular exercise, especially since he is predisposed to obesity. Check his teeth regularly as oral health is another primary concern.

29. Maltese Chihuahua Mix (Malchi)

Life Span – 12 to 15 years

Temperament – Quiet, lapdog, gentle, loving, not good with kids

Average Weight- 5 to 12 pounds

Average Height – 12 to 14 inches

Trainability – Moderate to High

Exercise Needs – Low

The Maltese and Chihuahua mix brings one of the most adorable designer breeds on this list. They look like a cuddly stuffed animal, and their personalities match the description. These fluffy cuddle bugs will enjoy sitting on your lap all day and night.

However, although the Malchi is a gentle little thing, he doesn’t play well with other dogs or kids of any age. Their sweetness will quickly turn snarky around a child. With that in mind, keep the Malchi in a quiet home where he can snuggle with adult owners – only.

30. Boston Terrier Chihuahua Mix (Boston Huahua)

Life Span – 12 to 15 years

Temperament – Independent, quiet, energetic

Average Weight- 10 to 15 pounds

Average Height – 9 to 17 inches

Trainability – Moderate

Exercise Needs – High

When it comes to the Boston Huahua, he is a lively tiny dog with plenty of energy. That doesn’t mean he doesn’t love a good snuggle, though. Although he loves to spend time with his owner, he is known for being far more independent than a Chihuahua.

The mix can differ from dog to dog, depending on which traits they pick up. That said, some Boston Huahuas are great with children while others are not. Proper socialization and training are essential to ensure that they will get along with kids.

31. Golden Retriever Chihuahua Mix (Golden Chi)

Life Span – 11 to 12 years

Temperament – Smart, obedient, kind, easy-going

Average Weight- 15 to 30 pounds

Average Height – 20 to 25 inches

Trainability – High

Exercise Needs – High

Golden Retrievers are undeniably adorable, from their striking appearance to their kind souls. Combined with a Chihuahua, you get a little pinch of sass that makes this crossbreed stand out.

Together, the Golden Chi is an easy-going and obedient canine that resembles a miniature Golden Retriever. He is one of the sweetest dogs on this list. Plus, he is incredibly smart and easy to take care of, making him ideal for new dog owners, too.

Final Thoughts

A Chihuahua mix is an excellent option, whether you opt for the family-friendly Chi-Poo or the territorial Chorkie. Each of these adorable blends has its distinct advantages and disadvantages, so pay close attention when figuring out which mix is right for you.
