Chiweenie Dogs in Wisbech, Cambridgeshire

Chiweenies typically live between 12 and 16 years, with good care contributing to reaching the upper range of their lifespan.

Chiweenies can develop separation anxiety if left alone for long periods due to their strong attachment to owners and may be stubborn, requiring patient and consistent training. They tend to be vocal and may bark excessively. Their Dachshund heritage can cause a tendency toward feistiness or aggression, especially toward strangers and other dogs, so they may require experienced owners familiar with small-breed behaviour management.

Chiweenies can show aggression, particularly toward other dogs or unfamiliar animals, a trait inherited from their Dachshund lineage. Early socialisation and proper training are essential to manage this behaviour, and aggression is generally more manageable with experienced owners familiar with small breeds.
