A Chi What?!?!?

Matt and I are finally getting the first of our two dogs! With Matt's new schedule, we are finally able to get a dog! After much consideration on the types of dogs we wanted, what fit best for our lifestyle, the dogs we love, etc...we decided on getting a bulldog and a smaller dog. After doing a lot of research on bulldogs the only thing that we found out that concerned us was that they tend to have food aggression. After talking to some experts they recommended that if we are getting two dogs that we either get them both as puppies at the same time or bring in the bulldog second as a puppy. We aren't quite ready to buy the bulldog yet.

So the next hard step was figuring out what the other dog should be. I wanted a small dog. I am so in love with my other family dogs, Lola, Oliver, and Toby( who are chihuahuas) . Of course Lucy is the queen of my heart, but the little dogs have changed my once turned-up nose to the little toy breeds. Matt on the other-hand has not had the altering experience that I have had. I knew that it would be a stretch convincing Matt to get a chi. The boys however, love Lola, Oliver and Toby. On top of loving chi's, Isaac loves Doxies.

While hunting for dogs. We were contacted by a woman in town who has a dog that is called a Chi-weenie. She is a mix between a chihuahua and a doxie. She was pregnant with puppies and the dad is also a Chi-weenie. What a great compromise!!! lol We did some research on Chi-weenies, aka, Chi-wees, Chi-weiners, and it sounded perfect! They are also very cute dogs! We told the breeder of this lovely mutt breed that we wanted one of the pups! I love looking at the pictures of Chi-wees. They can all look so different. Some take on the chi's ears, others are tall, some are short and stumpy. Some are bred with mini-doxies and other are big like regular doxies. Here is link to some picture of Chi-weenies. Here is another one that's fun too! Our dog's parents are part mini-doxies and mom doesn't weigh much.

She is due in two weeks. We should have our new dog at the end of June, beginning of July! I posted some pictures of mom when she was a puppy. The dad also has similar markings. Pretty great stuff!! In fact mom is going to the vet today to find out how many puppies she is having.
