What is a Pitbull-Chihuahua mix?

A pit bull-Chihuahua mix is sometimes known as a chipit. As a mixed-breed dog, the traits it can inherit are difficult to predict and require research of the parent breeds in order to gain a better understanding. Many breeders do not use pure stock when breeding hybrids.

Multi-generational crosses can dilute qualities of one parent breed or the other. Both the American pit bull terrier and the Chihuahua, despite having marked differences in appearance, are both known to be good companion dogs. They are characterized by their courage, intelligence and affection. A chipit is likely to inherit these qualities. Early socialization, as with any dog, is vital in shaping the animal's personality and boundaries. This can also eliminate bad habits.
