The Chiweenie is a small designer crossbreed of the Chihuahua and the Dachshund, playfully nicknamed the Mexican Hot Dog, German Taco, Weeniehuahua or Choxie. It often inherits the long body and short legs of the Dachshund along with the bold spirit of the Chihuahua, in colours from fawn, black and tan to brown, cream and black-and-tan. That little hot-dog shape is exactly why sausage and foody names like Frankie, Oscar, Pretzel and Noodle suit the breed so well, while Cocoa and Cookie fit a sweet, snack-sized pup.

The Dachshund is the famous German sausage dog, bred in Germany to dig badgers out of their setts -- the name means badger dog -- with a long, low body built for going to ground and a brave, stubborn streak out of all proportion to its size. The Chihuahua is the smallest dog in the world, a bold, devoted little firecracker from Mexico, descended from the ancient Techichi companion dogs of the Toltecs and Aztecs. Born in the United States in the 1990s, the Chiweenie blends these two big-hearted little characters into a lively, devoted and surprisingly bold lapdog. Because the Chiweenie is a crossbreed rather than a recognised purebred, it is not registered by major kennel clubs like the AKC, and its size, coat and looks vary from litter to litter.

Chiweenies are widely described as lively, devoted, bold and affectionate -- little dogs with enormous personalities. That long-bodied, big-hearted character points to several naming directions: sausage-dog and foody names that suit the hot-dog shape like Frankie, Frank, Oscar, Sausage, Pretzel, Noodle, Slinky and Pickle, a nod to the Dachshund's German roots with Fritz, Otto, Klaus, Heidi, Gretel, Bruno and Max, spicy Chihuahua and Mexican-rooted names such as Taco, Paco, Chico, Lola, Pepe, Rosa and Chili, and sweet, foody picks for a snack-sized character like Cocoa, Cookie, Nugget, Peanut, Mango and Pepper. For a bold pup with a brave streak, Bandit and Rico fit a tiny dog with a giant heart.
