Salsa is about four years old and he weighs just under 18lbs. He's roughly as long as he is tall so we're pretty confident that he's a chihuahua/dachshund mix.
Salsa is a social butterfly that will meet you once and then decide that you're best friends for life. He THRIVES on attention and will actively seek it out through any means necessary. If you sit on the floor next to him, that's obviously an open invitation for him to jump all over you and parkour into/out of your lap. He's all tail wags all the time, gives you the best puppy dog eyes around, and really seems like he will ultimately be a lap dog. HOWEVER, that doesn't mean that he doesn't have boundaries...because he does. He is not a fan of suddenly being grabbed/picked up. If he sees you coming and has plenty of warning, he's fine. If you take him by surprise, he gets grumbly...which, fair, if a giant claw machine lifted you up into the sky, you would probably complain too.
He's good on a leash in the sense that he doesn't pull much, if at all, because he pretty much can't. He's less than 20lbs. There's not much muscle to put behind the pulling. He's respectfully wary of cats but would coexist with them peacefully. He does well with other dogs and can interact with them without much fanfare, just a sniff hello and then move on. Due to the fact that he doesn't like sudden movements/being caught off guard, we would prefer kids 12+.
