If you want to see some Chion photos to find out what this mix looks like, look no further.
You may never have heard of the Chion. That’s because it’s not a purebred dog, but a mix between a Chihuahua and Papillon.
There’s nothing wrong with owning a mixed breed dog! However, you should be careful. It’s a little easier to tell who’s a reputable breeder among purebred dogs, because they can be registered with the AKC. When it comes to mixed breeds, they can’t, so it can be harder to tell if the mix is genuine. When getting a mix from a breeder, do as much research as possible.
Their coats can be many lengths and colors because of the mix of their parents, but you can rely on them being very small dogs.
High Energy Dogs
Their temperament will also be a mix of the two breeds. Although they’re small dogs, they still have decent energy needs for their size and will need a daily walk. Although they’ll likely be intelligent, they also may have a stubborn streak you should be prepared to deal with! This can be combated by early training and socialization, and using nothing but positive reinforcement to form good habits.
Whether they’ll get along with kids and other pets is a bit of a toss-up. Take introductions slowly and remove everyone from the situation if anything isn’t looking good.
