What does a Chihuahua mixed with Pitbull look like? What is this breed called?

The best part about mixed breeds is that they bring together the attributes of two different species. Such a breed is the Pithuahua which is a mix of the Pitbull and the Chihuahua. These adorable creatures are also hilariously called Chitpit.  

This Chihuahua Pitbull mix is small in size and a great breed of dog. They combine the aggressive Pitbull and the fun loving Chihuahua into a stunning hybrid that makes for a great fur companion for everyone.

What is Chitpit?

The Chitpit is a crossbreed between the famous American Pit Bull Terrier who is well known for being a fierce and loyal companion and the Chihuahua. The dog is tiny and makes for a wonderful companion though his personality is way bigger and interesting. The dog looks heart meltingly adorable with long ears, beautiful round eyes, and a narrow muzzle. These traits come from the two parent breeds. The Chitpit may be small but is very agile and can easily participate in dog events and might just as well win you a prize.

Temperament of Chitpit

Pitbull dog has quite a temperament and has to be trained thoroughly despite their small size need training. The same goes for Chihuahua. The thing with pitbull puppies is that they are not just adorable but fast learners and a grown up Pitbull would do anything to please its master. The Chitpit imbibe this quality and are completely devoted to their family member. They will also follow their people all over the house. It is important to get them to socialize with new people as the puppies are somewhat timid and shy. They are fond of kids, but it's better for families with older children to adopt them as pets as they would know how to approach and treat a Chitpit. The animal is generally tolerant towards other pets, but early socialization is required for that.
