Chizer

The Chizer is not a purebred dog. It is a cross between the Chihuahua and the Miniature Schnauzer. The best way to determine the temperament of a mixed breed is to look up all breeds in the cross and know you can get any combination of any of the characteristics found in either breed. Not all of these designer hybrid dogs being bred are 50% purebred to 50% purebred. It is very common for breeders to breed multi-generation crosses.

The Chizer mixes the highly active personality of a miniature schnauzer with the big, bold attitude of a Chihuahua, making them sturdy and seemingly tough dogs. However, the chizer is a fiercely loyal companion to its owner, and is protective of their owner. Chizer’s are seen as sweet, gentle, loving dogs, which tend to be great lap dogs for their owners, and tend to shower affection upon their owners with cuddling lots and many kisses. It is a generally playful breed, and will play for a long time before tiring out and eventually taking a nap. This breed needs daily walks, and constant activity time in order to keep the breed on its best behaviour. The chizer is a good breed for single people or families without children, as it takes serious socialization towards children for the chizer to be comfortable.

The Chizer is a mixed dog breed originating in the United States of America. Chizers are a mix of the Chihuahua and the miniature schnauzer. This breed is NOT recognized by the American Kennel Club. The chizer has a combination of looks from both breeds of dogs, and can vary depending upon the breakdown of the breed. General sizes of a chizer range between 6-14 inches in height and approximately 4-15-lbs in weight. The chizer is a small breed dog, and works great in smaller areas, such as apartments, condos, and townhomes. The chizer comes in a typical variety of colours, usually grey, black, brown or white. This breed has a smooth, short haired coat that needs constant grooming, trimming around the eyes, ears and nose. They are usually low to average shedding dogs, and typically most groomers leave their facial hair to mimic a schnauzer beard. The ears of a chizer are medium in length and can stand erect when at attention, and their tail is usually docked. The chizer can have either an apple shaped head, or round head, with either a long or short snout, giving it either the appearance of a Chihuahua or Miniature Schnauzer. The body of the chizer is generally long and lean, with slender legs, and a square, robust back end. This back end tends to make the dog sturdier, and gives them surprising jumping abilities to reach great heights.
