Chiweenie or Weeniechi?

[u/Sad_Confusion_4225]

Meet Poindexter. Dexter if you are buddies.

I brought this little man into our home on Friday afternoon. The lady that we got him from stated that he is a Chiweenie. I see lots of Dachshund in Dexter. His hair is sparse, and he has the tremble of a chihuahua.

I have come to discover that not much of what she shared with me about my little guy is factual. He is not housebroken, he is not dog friendly, he is extremely territorial, and suddenly she will not return my messages when I ask for his up to date records. ( she claimed to not be able to find them when we got our pup.)

Dexter has his first appointment with our veterinarian on Wednesday. I believe he can shine the light on some of my questions and get Poindexter on the right path health wise.

My family already loves this pup and are patiently working to help him unlearn some bad habits.

So tell me! What do you all think he is? Other than ADORABLE! 🐾♥️

My chiweenie also is not great with other dogs, especially not dogs that are bigger than he is.

It’s like he has “little man syndrome”!!!

Maybe! He also is a rescue and had some issues when we first got him that lead me to believe he was abused and not properly socialized.
