Chizer

We adopted Spartacus because his owners were getting a divorce and they could not keep him. He had been with his original owners from a puppy, until he was 5 years old. We have had him for 3 years. It took a few months for him to get used to all of us (my husband, myself and our 14 year old son, now 17). There was a lot of adjustments on everyones part. Spartacus is very protective of my husband. He does not like it when my son comes near them and has bit him a few times. We've been working with him on that. But he sleeps with my son, so we are baffled by that. Spartacus and I have a very special bond even though he is not as protective with me. We cuddle and talk, I make him homemade dog food, we play with his cat toy, I discipline (which he doesn't always like). He has been learning to be a bit more social with other members of the family. We have left him with my oldest daughter and her boyfriend for long weekends and he does well with them. Spartacus is definitely excitable, more that he used to be, but I believe he knows he is well loved at home.

Rescued her from a local shelter. She was fully “dog” when i got her. Not very well socialized and extremely good aggressive. It took her about a year to really trust me and my other dog who is a Havanese. She instantly became the alpha dog between the two of them. She has become very sweet and is now trusting but it took at least a year to gain that trust.

he is amazing and lovely he has so much energy

He is very hard head and won’t house break

He’s cute and it makes me happy

She has proven to have every trait that was described. I'm 67 years old so others in the family have to provide a lot of the physical activities. I'm in charge of training. She likes teasing our older pomeranian. She is very sociable, even with kids! She is fearless.

Olive has a charming personality, very sweet and very bossy. Everyone falls instantly in love with her and the feeling is always mutual. She is super laid back and prefers to just chill for most of the day. But when we go out she loves to chase mice and bugs and play with other dogs. Her best friends are a blue heeler, German Sheppard and pit bull! They play hard, Olive thinks she’s a tough girl, it’s so funny to watch her try to keep up with them. She doesn’t care too much for heat and will frequently stop in the shade and lay down on hot summer day hikes. She thrives in fall and spring weather and also loves the snow. Olive is very loving (and manipulative) and pretty much always gets her way lol She is my first dog, we are perfect for each other!

Marley has been such a great dog, and before knowing what breed he is, I was baffled by how well he acted without training him much. Now I’m even more aware of what is needed for him to live an even better life. He’s been my best friend for almost a decade now, he’s the father of puppies, and he’s still got many years to go. He really enjoys licking and cuddling with me, and he’s been helping me through my chemotherapy. I wouldn’t want any other type of dog, and I think I’ll always get a Chizer for the rest of my life.

He is adorable. Always very energetic and overall happy puppy.

He is super energetic but easy to train. Has incredible agility and is very affectionate.

He’s very well behaved and friendly with adults but he’s not trusted around kids much. He also doesn’t like being locked away in a room by himself and likes to be free all the time. He Loves going outside and exploring but he always tries to fight other dogs when spotted but over all at home, he’s a good companion

He's my little companion

My friend found Leo in a bad neighborhood on the side of the road. He is the most loving, energetic and welcoming dog. He has never met a stranger lol he loves everyone. Super smart and it was easy to train him. I couldn't imagine my life with out Leo in it.

He is so loving and an excellent guard dog can hear from very far away. Loves to be brushed. So adorable.

I love my chizer! She is one of the sweetest dogs I have ever had. She gets along with our other dogs. She loves to snuggle and play. I would highly recommend this dog to anybody who likes a dog that is a good mixture between playful and relaxed!

Good so far only had her for about a week now follows me everywhere

We found her on Craigslist, and the breeders did a really good job with her. She lives in a 55+ community on the forth(top) floor condo with 48 units per building. Windsor Gardens is the largest 55+ community in Denver and there are hundreds of small dogs here for her to get the scent of. She loves people and other dogs, pulls hard to get to visit them. She is not easy for us, and we struggle to figure out how to train her, but she is always winning us over for the cuteness. It is easily one mile around the complex and she just ran me around it at five months. She did come right inside and crash right after our run. She runs proud, with ears standing tall. She makes friends fast. There is a couple with some small dogs on the bottom floor and she always likes to sniff her way to their pad for play. She goes down three flights of stairs all on her own........we live on the fourth floor. We have an elevator, but she is fine with the stairs. Recently she started going up them as well. She loves to gaze out the window at the folks and dogs below. We built a perch for her and she just learned to climb her stairs to get up there all by herself. Great dog, keeping us young.

We just discovered exactly what breed Fawn is. We were told that she was a Chihauhua mix , but were not told what she was mixed with. (We adopted Fawn from the Animal Rescue) We've had her just over a month, she is very smart and has learned basic, sit, down, stay in such a short time. We have had no major issues with house training, although she does not like the rain and doesn't like to go out after the sun goes down. She loves her morning walk and loves to cuddle afterward. She is a joy!

We are all crazily happy with Max. He is such a sweet,friendly,happy and very energetic puppy! We love him so much!

She is so sweet and has been an amazing addition to our family these past couple of years.

Sweet,smart,VERY ENERGETIC, mischievous, nervous when meeting new people and dogs.

He has an amazing temperament and breathtaking with everyone and every dog

My first time owning this breed and it’s an adventure lol he’s energetic and affectionate but hardheaded and stubborn lol he gets along great with my son and my other dog and he’s a curious little guy!

It was strange to read that 2 out of the other 10 Chizers on this page were found on the side of the road because out little Nacho was also found hurt in a box when he was 6 months old. 3 out of 11 Chizers what's wrong with the world? Nacho is the funniest little thing. We live on a boat so his life is a little different, we go to land twice a week the rest of the time we do water activities. He gets cold easily so although he swims he does not like getting wet. He likes to be on my back while I paddle on my surfboard or between my feet when I ride my SUP. He's black with a white chest and chin. He's got short soft hair everywhere except a hilarious wiry mohawk that starts on his head and extends along his whole back. He is very smart, he has trained us to understand his wide array of sounds and gestures, all of which have a particular meaning (he has a specific sound for when he can't get to where he wants to go, another for when he's hungry, another for when he needs to poo, another for when he wants to play-fight, etc). Play-fighting with us and with dogs and cats he knows is his favorite thing. He is also a bit of a bully sometimes, he steals everyone's chew toys, growls if one of the family pets tries to eat from the wrong bowl or go into a room they're not allowed in. Like everyone said he's lovely to adult humans but snappy with kids and puppies who annoy him and growly or dominant with other dogs no matter their size. He's very sensitive to our feelings, if he's tired of us petting him for example, he'll kiss us a couple times before he leaves our side as if to say listen, I love you, I really do, I just need to go sleep now, but it's nothing personal. He's very quiet but barks every time someone comes close to the boat, a chill bark if he knows them, a more intense bark if he doesn't. When we get to shore he runs like the wind.

Super lovable and lively. Can get a bit disobedient and is always ahead of the game. Impatient and loves to get dirty. Thinks she is the queen bee of every other dog and gets really cocky. Ironic because I was walking her one time and there was a poor cat just chilling on the sidewalk minding its owen buisness when my deary runs up to it and starts picking a fight. But gets smacked in the face by the cat and whimpers over to me hahaha. Shes hilarious but cute. Always wants to cuddle and never wants to be alone. She is honestly one of a kind because I have never met a dog with such an attidue but at the same time is the sweetest. Her fur is very long and soft and rarely sheds. Best dog I could ever ask for. Regret giving her a spades surgery because once she dies, I wont be able to have a dog that is related to her by blood and that will be it from her bloodline T__T Really is one of a kind. I am so lucky and blessed. Thank you God ♡

Rose has been with me since she was 3mo. old. She is hard headed but is trainable! She loves running at top speed and chewing on anything you will let her. She is friendly with kids for a short period but gets frustrated with them eventually. If they give her a break she will be ready to play again after a nap but she has nipped at children who wouldn't leave her be. Overall a wonderful companion, I wouldn't trade her for the world!

Brother and sister in law found him on the side of the road when he was 7 or 8 weeks old.Looked everywhere for the owner.No one claimed.He was tiny.I took him in.Friendliest puppy ever.Loves to joke around and antangonize other dogs(he plays "Haha You can't catch me" after befriending or joking around with the other dogs)in a playful way.Loves people and kids.Loves attention in general.He also is the perfect alarm in the mornings(nips gently under you and licks you til you get up).I socialize him a lot and take him to the dog park and petsmart when its hot out.He for some reason loves the vet...for now.Bathe him once a week.He hates water.Put an inch maybe in the tub and he tries every way to get out.Not sure why.He is currently 8 Ibs and is growing.Still small but growing.Eats a cup and a little bit extra a day.Very energetic but takes frequent naps.Hates being alone.Potty training is slowly coming along,everything other then potty training he seems to learn fast. He just got his first grooming.He has a long black and tan single coat.His fur frows long and unruly even when brushed and he was overheating outside.So got him shaved just enough to help him cool but long enough to not sunburn.He was not happy about getting groomed.Its a work in progress.Next time he just goes in for a small trim.He is my cuddle bug! Now I can't imagine my life without him!

She's super fast, loves people but is not so good with meeting new dogs, very submissive to new dogs but she is the best dog I've ever had!

He's a very sweet boy. He's so lovely with children except for other dogs. He just wants to fight with them.But other than that he's a cutie pie.

I love my chizer twilight so much

Toby is a joy to have. I adopted him 6 weeks ago and he's now 10 months. He's 11 lbs, he has the chihuahua head with big pointy ears, a long snout with a black nose and round brown eyes. His coat is very different. He is mostly black with white, silver and a little brown mixed in. His head and legs have short fur that doesn't grow much and his body has longer wiry fur. He doesn't shed and it appears that he should be groomed about every 8 weeks or so. His paws are small and his tail is long. He has a cute little white stripe that goes from between his eyes down his nose. He likes to take his naps, but he's also very playful when he wants to be. He looks mostly chihuahua, but he has a longer schnauzer snout and body with silver wiry fur. He was very timid and nervous when I first met him, but now I have his trust and he loves to cuddle and hang out with me. There is also a very confident and independent side to him as well. He will go off on his own to another room and take a nap and have alone time. He has a deep bark for a small dog and people always do a double take and laugh when they see his size. He does love to bark at people and animals. He is a barker when I'm with him, but when he's home alone he's pretty quiet. He loves to socialize with other dogs and he even attends doggie day camp. He's my new bff and I'm so glad he chose me.

Simply, she is my best friend. Super chill, loves sleeping, but also LONG walks. I adore her!!!!

He was shy at first, very outgoing personality and funny! he loves kids but can be aggressive at times. Never nips or bites, he is stingy with toys lol. I love him he’s my first dog he’s also HYPOALLERGENIC!!!! so that’s a plus, he was a pleasure to teach he knows 15 commands. And loves to learn. awesome dog!

Found him on side of the road @ 8 weeks old, first lap dog, absolutely adore him and him us, is very social as lots of family and other pets are around him a lot since day one. He's the sweetest, smartest dog I've had and was potty trained quickly. His energy is through the roof.
