 can be found in alarming abundance at local shelters, animal controls, and rescues. The chiweenie is a common mix since chihuahuas and dachshunds are similar in size and are more likely to be kept together than some other breeds. Check out your local shelter listings, or hop on a national animal adoption database, and you’ll be sure to find a handful of adorable chiweenies in need of a home.
Check rescues in southern states. Due to the warm climate, stray and neglected dogs can survive more easily in the south, which means there is always an abundance of adoptable dogs.
Check PetFinder and Adopt a Pet where you can search for dogs in your area at private and publicly owned shelters/rescues.
Check the ASPCA database of adoptable pets in ASPCA shelters.
Chihuahua Rescue & Transport serves the Southwest, Southeast, and Midwest.
Dachshund Rescue of North America serves the entirety of North America.
You should never purchase a chiweenie from a pet store because most pet stores source their dogs from puppy mill breeders. These dogs are not ethically bred, and buying them helps to put money into the hands of backyard and puppy mill breeders.
If you find a chiweenie breeder, it is unlikely that they are being monitored or regulated, and there is no guarantee that their parental genetic information will be reliable, or that the breed will be as advertised. Of course, accidents happen, so there may be rare occasions when someone local has a litter of chiweenies available. In general, to make sure you are not supporting unethical breeding of small dogs, get your chiweenies from the local shelter.
Have more questions about the chiweenie? Let’s answer some of the most frequently asked questions.
Small dogs typically live longer than large dogs, and mixed-breed dogs typically live longer than purebreds. Since the chiweenie is small, and a mix, you can expect your pooch to live to 10-16 years old.
At a local shelter, you could pay as little as $50 for a chiweenie, with most rescues asking for around $150-$300 for a small dog. If you choose to work with a breeder, you can expect to pay anywhere from $500-$2,000 for this “designer” breed.
Chiweenies typically weigh between 5-14lbs and can be anywhere from 6-12 inches tall. On average, chiweenies will not be as long as their dachshund ancestors, but you can still expect them to have slightly longer backs than the average chihuahua.
Yes! Both chihuahuas and dachshunds come in long-haired, silky varieties, and those traits can be passed on to their puppies. Here’s Whiskey, a major cutie from Texas who has the signature feathery fur of a long-haired chiweenie.
Yes! Both chihuahuas and dachshunds shed. While many dachshunds have extremely short, fine hair that won’t be very noticeable, the chiweenie usually has longer fur that is more prone to shedding. They don’t need to be taken to a groomer, but it is a good idea to bathe your chiweenie a few times a year and keep a brush on hand for long-haired chiweenies.
No! Chiweenies are not hypoallergenic.
Because the chiweenie is not an official breed, it is very difficult to find a breeder who you can reliably say is using ethical practices. Most chiweenies result from backyard and puppy mill breeding, so it’s better not to buy a chiweenie from a pet store or a breeder if you can avoid it.

For the benefit of those who haven’t seen it yet, here’s the low down of the Smart’s new promo.
The Smart All Text 30 Plus is a significant update to the previous All Text 30 promo wherein subscribers are only given 300 intra-network SMS and 10 SMS to other networks and is valid for two days. On the new promo, however, users are given unlimited SMS to all networks and 30 minutes worth of voice calls for the same length of time (2 days).
To subscribe to this promo, you need to key in AT30 and send it to 2827. The promo runs from today until October 31 of this year.

You have several choices when it comes to adjustable speed drive technologies: Eddy Current, mechanical, hydraulic, variable frequency (VFDs) and DC. But when the cost of downtime enters the decision making, the field narrows… to Eddy Current. Why? Because no other adjustable speed drive system operates with such simplicity, with so few parts to wear out, and with so little maintenance. Once you pencil in the total cost of downtime for your process — the lost material, the lost labor, the lost output — you’ll see why many system designers and engineers specify high performance Dynamatic® Eddy Current drives.
For over 85 years Dynamatic® has lead the way in reliable Eddy Current drive technology. We offer the broadest line of AS/FAS Drives (Dynamatic® Ajusto Spede) from.75-40 hp, as well as rugged and reliable AT Drives from 1-200 hp. Our Dynamatic® DCD Drives offer low-cost dependability from 3-75 hp. Dynamatic® CES Press Drives are Constant Energy System drives designed specifically for the stamping industry.
The speed at which the universe is expanding remains one of the biggest mysteries in cosmology. Known as the Hubble constant — in honor of Edwin Hubble, who in 1929 was the first one to prove the universe is not static, as previously believed — the universe’s expansion rate has been continuously measured and calculated with the help of the Hubble Space Telescope, yielding contradictory results.
The most recent method of measuring the Hubble constant involves tracking down a class of pulsating stars called Cepheid Variables, located about 6,000 to 12,000 light-years from Earth, and measuring how bright they are. Once their brightness is calibrated, the Cepheids can be used “as cosmic yardsticks” to gauge the distance between the Milky Way and nearby galaxies that contain Cepheid stars. According to NASA, this helps us observe how fast these galaxies are moving away from us.
The next step in measuring the Hubble constant involves peering even further into the universe by using the Cepheids’ brightness to calibrate the brightness of Type Ia supernovae. These supernovae are bright enough to be seen from billions of light-years away and help measure the distance between the Milky Way and remote galaxies in the expanding universe.
The distance measurements are then compared with wavelength measurements that analyze the light coming from the Ia supernovae — essentially determining how much their light is stretched to longer wavelengths by the expansion of space — and, voila, astronomers can calculate the speed at which the universe expands with time.
It may sound simple in theory, but the process is far more complicated than it appears to be. Even though this method is hailed for its “unprecedented accuracy” and has reduced the constant’s total uncertainty to 2.4 percent (at the turn of the 21st century, the Hubble constant was known to an accuracy of 10 percent), it has nevertheless produced conflicting results.
In fact, the Gaia satellite star catalog just released by the European Space Agency — which represents the biggest map of our galaxy to date, accounting for 1.7 billion stars in the Milky Way — has deepened the confusion regarding the value of the Hubble constant, reveals a paper published last week on the scientific preprint site arxiv.org.
These “nagging discrepancies,” as NASA has recently described them, have made astronomers wonder whether some unknown physical processes might be at fault, such as the hidden impact of dark matter particles or even the elusive sterile neutrino.
But one cosmologist says there’s no need to start changing the laws of physics just yet. John Peacock, from the University of Edinburgh in the U.
