Nicknamed “weiner dogs or badger dogs,” Miniature Dachshunds were originally bred in Germany. They are about 11 pounds in weight, up to 7 inches in height, and can live for up to 16 years. As for temperament, they are high-spirited as well as intelligent and independent.
A Corman Shepherd is a mix between a Corgi and a German Shepherd. During the process of breeding, a German Shepherd is chosen to carry the puppies due to the size differences between the two breeds. Corgi German Shepherd mixes are known for their short stature, perky ears, facial coat markings.

Cat fleas, or Ctenocephalides felis, are one of the most common types of fleas found on pets. They're small, dark brown insects that feed on the blood of their host, which can be either a cat or a dog. Dog fleas, on the other hand, are not as common but can still be found on our furry friends.

A Jack Chi is a mixed breed dog type obtained from breeding female Jack Russell Terriers and male Chihuahuas. It is one of the most popular designer dog breeds in terms of appearance and temperament. Jack Chis typically fall in the small dog breed category, although they are usually larger than the Chihuahua parents. In terms of build, head shape, facial features, and coat characteristics, the appearance all differ from one Jack Chi to another. This difference also applies to their overall temperament.
A German Dachshund is a mixed-breed dog from a German Shepherd and a Dachshund. Due to the differences in size, breeders prefer to have the German Shepherd as the female carrying the pups. The resulting mix usually takes after the Dachshund in terms of build with the sausage dog silhouette. In terms of size, the dogs range from small to medium. Everything else from coat traits to temperament varies from puppy to puppy.
A Chipit is a mixed-breed dog between a Chihuahua and an American Pitbull terrier or other members of the Pitbull dog type. Due to the vast differences in size and build, breeders prefer to have a female Pitbull carry the offspring. This is because they tend to come out larger than the Chihuahua parent and it is much safer this way. Again due to the differences, the general appearance of the Chipit is difficult to predict or accurately describe, with genetics playing a huge role in determining how the pups come out. However, one thing is for sure with these dogs, and that is the fact that they come out as feisty, confident, and energetic as both of their parents are.
