The Chihuahua is an adaptable dog that is affectionate with their family. They’re playful, intelligent, and easy to groom but can be feisty. Their desirable traits can carry over when they’re bred with other breeds, and several mixed-breed Chihuahuas are available. You may be surprised by the number of Chihuahua mixes, and we’ll discuss the 25 most popular ones below.
The 25 Popular Chihuahua Mixes
1. Cheagle (Beagle x Chihuahua Mix)
The Cheagle takes some of the fierceness that some Chihuahuas have, with the friendliness and happy-go-lucky attitude of the Beagle. The latter also brings more energy and playfulness for a winning mix.
2. Chi-Poo (Poodle x Chihuahua Mix)
It’s hard not to notice the intelligence of the Toy Poodle in the Chi-Poo. Of course, the Poodle doesn’t shed, which you may see in a multi-generational pup. In the meantime, enjoy the sweet nature of the Chi-Poo.
3. Chizer (Chihuahua x Miniature Schnauzer)
If you want a dog with an attitude, look no further than the Chizer. The Miniature Schnauzer adds tenacity and intelligence to this hybrid.
4. BoChi (Boston Terrier x Chihuahua Mix)
The similar body shapes of these two parent breeds make this combo a natural. The Boston Terrier is eager to please their owners, which may override the Chihuahua’s stubbornness. There’s so much to love about the BoChi!
5. Chug (Pug x Chihuahua)
The Chug combines the sassiness of the Chihuahua with the adorable antics of the Pug. You get a clown that doesn’t know when to leave the stage! This one is a keeper and an ideal companion animal.
6. Chion (Papillon x Chihuahua)
The Chion benefits from the outgoing personality of the Papillon, with their adorable butterfly-shaped ears. They’re intelligent and relatively easy to train, but they experience substantial seasonal shedding. We love the elegance the Papillon brings to the mix.
7. Chi-Apso (Lhasa Apso x Chihuahua)
The Chi-Apso combines the sassiness of the Chihuahua with the lovable personality of the Lhasa Apso, a pup born to steal the show. Even if this hybrid inherits the Lhasa Apso’s coat, the grooming is minimal, with weekly combing to keep the mats in check.
8. Bolo-Chi (Bolognese x Chihuahua)
The Bolognese can add just the right amount of calmness to the Chihuahua that may even make you think they’re an easygoing pup. The combination is all about companionship and being affectionate with their families.
9. Silkyhuahua (Silky Terrier x Chihuahua)
The Silky Terrier is more of a dainty pup than you may typically associate with Terriers. That’s why they’re such an excellent match-up with the Chihuahua. The mix may ramp up the grooming, but it will also tame the rough edges to make a delightful pet.
10. Chi Chon (Chihuahua x Bichon Frise)
The Bichon Frise ups the charm and personality of the Chi Chon, with their cute looks and kind demeanor. Chi Chons are affectionate dogs that form strong bonds with their owners.

The Chorgi isn’t your average dog. The Corgi‘s energetic nature and boldness complement the Chihuahua. At the end of the day, this hybrid is a cuddler that is willing to shower you with love.
12. Affenhuahua (Affenpinscher x Chihuahua)
Just when you thought there could be no end to the pep and fearlessness of the Chihuahua, here comes the Affenhuahua. The Affenpinscher keeps it fun with their unexpected antics.
13. Chi Chi (Chihuahua x Chinese Crested)
Just saying Chi Chi is fun enough, with a mix that promises a wild ride. The Chinese Crested brings a storied past and reference to the Dr. Seuss Dog. The energy factor gets a boost, too, in this fascinating hybrid.
14. Jack Chi (Jack Russell x Chihuahua)
Life will never be boring again once you invite a Jack Chi into your life. Chihuahuas are playful, but the hardworking nature and energy of the Jack Russell can make the Jack Chi even more entertaining. They’re an excellent choice for active families.
15. French Bullhuahua (Chihuahua x French Bulldog)
You may have a hard time finding this pup, given the popularity of the French Bulldog. Frenchies can reduce the feistiness of the Chihuahua, and most French Bullhuahuas are incredibly affectionate and playful.
16. Cheenese (Havanese + Chihuahua)
The Havanese is a wonderful choice as a parent breed for this hybrid. They make the Cheenese easier to train. We dare you not to laugh at this pup’s hilarious antics, starting with trying to pronounce their name!
17. Chat Terrier (Chihuahua x Rat Terrier)
The Rat Terrier gives the Chihuahua a place to channel their feistiness toward rodents and other pests. Keep an eye on this one to ensure they don’t follow their prey drive out of the backyard! After all, Terriers will be Terriers.
18. Chi-Spaniel (Cocker Spaniel x Chihuahua)
The Cocker Spaniel is an ideal parent breed that ramps up the happiness and lovable factors. And who can resist their big, brown eyes? The Chi-Spaniel captures it all with an affectionate and loyal pet. The kids will have a pup always ready for a game of fetch.
19. Italian Greyhuahua (Italian Greyhound x Chihuahua)
The delicate appearance of the Italian Greyhound belies the fact that they’re a tough dog and a fitting parent breed. They also bring independence and have friends in high places, i.e., royalty.
20. Toxirn (Cairn Terrier x Chihuahua)
The addition of the Cairn Terrier adds liveliness to the mix. Curiosity also gets a boost from this pup. The Toxirn is a stocky canine that has the hardiness to match the Chihuahua’s personality. And if you have a problem with mice, the Toxirn is your dog.
21. Taco Terrier (Toy Fox Terrier x Chihuahua)
The name is sure to make you laugh. One look at this pup, and you’ll think it’s as fitting as we do. This hybrid doesn’t stray far from their history as a circus performer. They can learn tricks as easily as if they were still in the show ring, especially if there are treats involved.
22. Scotchi (Scottish Terrier x Chihuahua)
If the Scottish Terrier and Chihuahua were humans, they’d be BFFs because they would probably respect each other’s tenacity and stubbornness. That makes the hybrid so unique as a pet. The Terrier gives the Scotchi the bulk to back up the bark.
23. Chipin (Miniature Pinscher x Chihuahua)
The name of the Miniature Pinscher lives up to the associations you may have with their bigger cousin. This pup has the courage and fearlessness to earn the name. They’re a natural segue to the Chipin, which makes an excellent pet.
24. Chorkie (Yorkshire Terrier x Chihuahua)
The Yorkshire Terrier makes the Chorkie everything you could want in a toy breed. They’re friendly dogs that make the Chihuahua even more lovable. The Yorkie reminds the Chihuahua of who’s in charge of the pet-owner relationship.
25. Chiweenie (Dachshund x Chihuahua)
While the Chihuahua is wary of strangers, the Dachshund thinks new people are friends, so it’s unclear how the Chiweenie will act around visitors until they’re socialized. This hybrid has a keen sense of smell and, thus, a strong prey drive.
Final Thoughts
The Chihuahua is an excellent choice for a parent breed. Their loyalty and friendliness are prominent, providing a desirable foundation for a mix with this toy dog. We suggest sticking with like-sized breeds to reduce the risk of inappropriate crosses that can increase health risks. Fortunately, you have many from which to choose that go beyond our list.
