It is nothing more than a mixed breed mutt. I am sure that it is cute, but I wouldn't want one.
Unlike what the one person told you, these "designer" dogs are MORE likely to have health issues than pure bred dogs from reputable breeders. The reason is that the dogs that are used as breeding stock for the mixed breeds are not high quality (or they would be bred to better their own breed) and not usually genetic tested for issues. And once you have two dogs that haven't been properly screened breed, you have a higher risk of genetic problems. Plus you can have a litter and each dogs looks different from the others because it is a crap shoot to see which genes will be dominant is each puppy. So, it is very possible that you will not be able to find another "Chiweiner" like the ONE you saw, because there is no really way to get that same gene combination again.

Chiweiner= Chihuahua + dachshund?
A designer dog which is now all the rage.

Personally I think these designer dogs are cool. I have to purebreds and they are great, but as most of us know purebreds have many medical problems that mixed breeds don't. Looks like they are selling at an astronomic price so I wish you luck in your search.
Yea, only a responsible breeder would continue to breed purebreds with horrific medical problems.
"Mutts" are known to be healthier because they less of a chance to suffer the same disorders of their purebred counterparts.

Do a google search. Type in chiweiner and see what happens. To find a breeder, just type in chiweiner breeder. Thats how I found all my breeders.

Do you mean a weeniehuahua? Find someone that let two different dogs breed, shouldn't be too hard it happens all the time.
My parents adopted one from their local humane society they called him Goose, he lived for a very long time. They got him when my daughter was very young and he only died a few years ago, and my daughter is 26 now.

first find yourself a backyard breeder because a responsible breeder would NEVER create MUTTS as you are looking for. Maybe in your search you might find one that was dropped off at the shelters and can adopt one there.
For information look up MUTT in the dictionary as that is what you are looking for.
