My story

About Hammy’s Breed:
Our best guess is that Hammy is a Chihuahua/Dachshund mix. The Chiweenie is a small, lively crossbreed between a Chihuahua and a Dachshund, known for its affectionate and playful personality. These pups typically weigh between 5–15 pounds and live 12–16 years, making them compact companions with a long lifespan. Chiweenies thrive on human companionship, often bonding closely with their favorite person, and are sometimes described as “Velcro dogs” because of their loyalty. They can be energetic and spunky, yet also love to cuddle, making them a great fit for families, singles, or seniors who want a devoted lap dog with a dash of sass.

 

Hammy is a sweet, loyal little guy who’s 99% potty trained (he may mark at first in a new place) and can be crated, though he’d much rather snuggle up with blankets and toys when left alone. He’s happiest when he’s with his people and doesn’t love being left for long, making him the perfect companion for someone who wants a devoted “Velcro” pup!

 

Hammy’s Highlights:

  • Potty trained, may mark initially in new environments
  • Crate trained, but prefers cozy blankets and toys when alone
  • Dog- and cat-friendly, takes good direction when meeting new friends
  • Great with people, likely to do well with gentle, respectful kids
  • Chill personality, with bursts of cuteness, quirkiness, and humor
  • Leash ready, loves walks and exploring with his nose
  • Bed snuggler, happiest under the covers at night
  • Food-motivated, warms up quickly when treats are involved
  • Super loyal, thrives on companionship and cuddles

 

Hammy is a sweet soul who will bring endless joy, laughter, and love to his forever family. Whether he’s curled up under the covers, trotting beside you on a walk, or making you laugh with his funny antics, Hammy is ready to be your loyal little shadow and best friend!
