Mestizos in the world of dogs are called animals obtained by mixing two breeds. The article will focus on mestizos produced from the smallest decorative dogs - chihuahua.

Mixing them with other breeds, they get not just a dog with an original appearance, but also more stable, balanced animals.
General about mestizos
Mestizos do not belong to purebred dogs, they are rarely created purposefully, more often puppies are obtained when the breeder does not keep track of the animals. Métis supporters believe that they inherit from the purebred parents all the best qualities, but at the same time you never know what a surprise will come from such a union. A pair of chihuahuas can be made up of both small and medium-sized dogs, for example, Chinese crested dog, husky, lapdog, shih tzu and even a mongrel.
Particularly cute animals are obtained from a mixture of a chihuahua and a butterfly papillon.
Mestizos have a weight of 1 to 4 kilograms. Beautiful specimens are extremely rare, but, unfortunately, hybrids live a little, and often inherit diseases of both breeds. Most often they are sterilized so as not to create non-resilient offspring in the future. Métis is purchased by people who want to have a small cute dog for little money.
But by and large, such puppies should be passed into good hands for free, you should not pay for the breeder’s marriage.
