Generally, the size of the breed determines how long it takes for the puppy to be full grown. A small puppy, like Chiweenie, will be full grown at a year. A larger breed, such as a retriever, will be full grown at two years. It all depends on the size of the dog, but most dogs are fully grown by two years old.
Chiweenie has an average lifespan of 12 to 15 years.
The Chiweenie is a cross between a purebred Chihuahua and Dachshund. An F1 mix is a purebred parent of each breed – these are considered to be the healthiest of the mixes.
The Chiweenie is a relatively new breed of designer dog, getting his start in North America. They were bred as early as the 1990s, but are gaining popularity has more owners and fans sing their praises.
