A Chihuahua-Pug mix, commonly known as a Chug, combines the distinctive features of both parent breeds, creating a unique and adorable appearance. Here’s what they typically look like:
- Size: Small to medium, weighing around 10-20 pounds and standing 6-14 inches tall.
- Body: Compact and sturdy with a short, stocky frame inherited from the Pug.
- Face: A blend of the Chihuahua’s pointed snout and the Pug’s flat, wrinkled face. Some Chugs have a more pronounced muzzle than a purebred Pug.
- Ears: Can be floppy like a Pug’s or perked up like a Chihuahua’s, or somewhere in between.
- Eyes: Large, round, and expressive, often dark in color.
- Coat: Short and smooth, though it can be slightly longer depending on the Chihuahua parent’s coat type. Coat colors range from tan, fawn, black, and white to mixed patterns.
- Tail: Curled like a Pug’s or straighter like a Chihuahua’s.
Chugs often inherit a playful and affectionate personality, making them a popular choice for families and individuals alike.
