Chion
Puppy Chions are the offspring of the Chihuahua and the Papillion. The Chion is a lovable canine with flowing hair, pointed triangular ears, and the roundest puppy dog eyes.
No one can take their crap from this fierce pup! When it comes to keeping an eye on his master, he is a superb watchdog and will put himself in harm’s way. Seeing himself as the pack’s alpha male, he needs a strong mentor to help him learn the ropes.
When it comes to his desires and needs, this mixed-breed dog is unabashedly confident and self-assured. He enjoys spending his days lounging around on people’s laps. Chion has a lot of charisma, and we have little doubt you’ll be smitten with him quite quickly.
Origin:
Since the 1990s, when the Chihuahua became known as the “handbag dog,” the Chion has been bred as a designer dog. Chihuahua and Papillon are toy breeds with similar temperaments and behaviours. Both are fierce, independent dogs that yelp when aroused and nip when unhappy.
Both parents are noted for overconfidence and abrasiveness with other (typically bigger) dogs. These tendencies are evident in Chions, who must be handled in the canine company to avoid beginning battles they are unprepared for. These traits form a dog guaranteed to fascinate and amuse and that is never timid and retiring. This hybrid’s strong personality has fueled its appeal.
Size:
The Chion has no breed standard since it is a hybrid, and each individual is intended to be unique. There are enough physical similarities between the Chihuahua and Papillon breeds to make generalisations about their progeny. They are between 9 and 11 inches tall at the withers and weigh between 2 and 4 kilograms (4 and 9 pounds).
Coat:
The coat is smooth, medium-length, and noticeably curled. Tails, ears, and the backs of the legs all have longer hair than the rest of the body. Colours are available in a wide range:
● Black, Chocolate, Black & Brown
● Black & White, Cream, Fawn, Golden, Tricolour
An asymmetrical mask covers most of the Chions’ faces, although some are entirely colourless.
Temperament:
Intense and often belligerent, the Chion is also a loyal and affectionate companion that responds to affection with a curious expression. This is your best bet if you’re looking for an energetic and playful dog. When an intruder or an opposing party begins to make noises, it will be up to the two parties to protect its owner. They are excellent watchdogs.
Care:
Poultry is an integral part of the diets of both Chihuahuas and Papillons; therefore, it is reasonable to anticipate that Chions will do well on a similar diet. Maintaining a Chion’s coat begins with a bit of brushing, trimming nails, and bathing pets as required are essential aspects of pet care.
Health:
Chions’ health problems include damage to sensitive areas and the fontanel (a quiet place on the skull). Shivering and tracheal collapse, hydrocephalus, heart disease, and hypothyroidism are all conditions that may occur in certain dog breeds.
