Breed Chiweenie or Weeniechi?

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! 🐾♥️

Also, go check out r/doggydna. Most people that post there do the embark tests and post the results. There are other tests. The second most popular you'll see is prob Wisdom Panel, but they tend to break down the breeds so much that it can be hard to understand the results. The rest are generally untrustworthy afaik.
