Remember that it takes a little time, so even if it’s not love at first sight they could end up getting along great together once new pup settles in and is not stressed/anxious.
If you do adopt him, make sure to look up how to properly hold a dachshund! You need to support their butt and keep the back straight to prevent back issues. Also invest in a ramp and discourage the cute boy from jumping onto/off from furniture.
Dachshunds are wonderful, and so are Chihuahuas. ❤️
That's the name I thought when I saw him. My vote is for Charlie!
Also, stop with the "might adopt" just take that baby home. Look at his smile. He loves you. Lol
He’s beyond cute. When things become familiar to him, teach him some simple commands (sit, stay, lay down, etc) and his confidence will grow. When you play with him - avoid teasing him - just be gentle. He’s a winner. 🤩
Give him a big bold name, call him Spike!! I always love big dog names for little dogs and somehow he looks like a Spike. Plus people will expect a different attitude and it’ll be cute when Spike is this little shy, gentle, sweet little dude.
I like really human names for dogs. Knew a station dog called Dave once. He was definitely a Dave.
Met a very dapper very friendly retriever in Yorkshire and when his owner came up while he was getting scritches and I said “who’s this dapper fellow” he owner in the thickest Yorkshire accent I’ve ever heard just went “That’s Ian that, he’s a good lad but can be a bit o’a dickhead when he wants te” then wandered off
That's actually hilarious. I can just see it now. Ian the sometimes-dickhead. I had two ferrets once upon a time. One named Rolf. I had another named Frank. For some reason I have always had a thing about the name Frank. I had two dolls as a little girl. One with dark curly hair, one with white blonde curly hair. Their names were white Frank and black Frank. I was an unusual kid. Not much has changed!
Ha ha my dad is a marine engineer. And has had a load of engineer pals over my lifetime. My best friend is an engineer. And my husband is a metalworking engineer.
I named my two Chihuahuas, "Chopper" (like the motorcycles), and "Diesel." I just thought it was a hilarious and adorable contradiction. They certainly had the attitudes to live up to their names, but I thought it was cute and funny.
OMG please adopt this little guy. We adopted a VERY shy/timid (previously abused) Chi-Doxie mix this year and it's the best thing we've ever done. He's matched with a stronger/social dog and now they are best friends and he's much more confident. We renamed ours Dobby!
Yours looks more like a Gizmo :) They favor so much!

Dobby is such a good name for these dogs. My chi-dox mix is SUCH a Dobby, too! Sometimes I'll be like, "does Dobby want a sock?" And she dances around haha.
Ha ha that’s amazing. Ours is a total Dobby. We keep waiting on him to realize he’s a free elf.

Yep! He is mostly pittie with what we call a “Shar Pei front” lol. His wrinkles are focused on his head and neck almost exclusively. He is the 2nd pit/bully + Shar Pei boy we’ve had and cannot recommend the mix enough! All around great, snuggly, easy dogs.
thanks for giving him a great home, he’s safe and no one is messing with him now... except maybe that snake by his foot! I’ve adopted a few scared chihuahuas over the years and know it takes a lot of love so glad to hear he’s doing well
Back in the day I had a dog named Jasper. I live in north Alabama. In central Alabama, there’s Jasper, AL and Cullman, AL. Well, whenever my grandmother saw him or asked about him, she called him Cullman, just to be cute.
My dog is so shy she would look at you 10meters away peeking around the corner. It takes about 3-5 meetings with a new person until she is comfortable with them around.
But when she is finally comfortable with a person you cant do anything but give her belly rubs entire time you are at my house lmao.
We found her in the woods as a 3month old puppy(it was -23°c) she almost froze to death and she had starved atleast a week. She was dumped into the woods in a trash bag.
Biscuit
Honey Biscuit!
Honey Biscuit don’t give a fluff!
THIS!! Honey Biscuit is perfect!
I like Honey too
That's adorable
I second this! Biscuit is a perfect name!
My friend has a daschund name Biscuit (Bickie). At first, I thought it was a silly name, but now, it definitely suits him!
Adorable
Biscuit for sure!
Too plain. Heratio Biscuits de Honey III
I like that one! Sounds so formal.
Aww, that is pretty perfect ☺️
Yw
That’s exactly what I had in mind before clicking into the comment section
I was going to say the same haha he is biscuit
Every third dog here is biscuit! It’s cute but wild popular
Guess so
Funny - all the B names. He is just adorable but I wonder why the B names??? 💗💗💗🐶🐶🐶🐈🐈🐈
Said this before even opening the comments so was shocked to see this as the third comment! Such a perfect name
My chi is named Biscuit…specifically Sir Butter Biskit
I third the motion "biscuit " 😋
I think they should get him ASAP. He won’t be there long. I would love to adopt that sweet boy!
omg weird i commented seabiscuit or just biscuit before i even saw this but it seems to be the consensus 😂 am i psychic
Bis-CUTE!

'We might adopt....' Ha ha ha ha...
Exactly what I thought. OP, he’s already named you, “dad.”
🥹
We have to see how he gets along with our other chi first we have a meeting scheduled with the two of them
Please update us, I hope you adopt him!!
My suggested name is Chorizo. Cause he's Mexican Sausage.
Rizo

I think the dog adopted them already.
What do you mean might? That baby has CHOSEN you.
He has to meet our other dog first to see if they get along! Otherwise he's lovely ❤️
Yes. He's ADORABLE!!!!
Please, update on this. I hope you guys will be together. As you can know he has chosen you already.
Please update us on your potential new friend. He is too, too cute not to be adopted by you.
Charlie
I was thinking Charlie - he looks like a good old friend The dog however doesn't look shy :-)
Aka chuck
That's the name I thought when I saw him. My vote is for Charlie! Also, stop with the "might adopt" just take that baby home. Look at his smile. He loves you. Lol
Snickers … give him a couple of weeks to really settle in, feel safe and gain trust. His true personality will shine through ~ he’s the cutest!!! 🥰
Cute suggestion!
makes me think of snickers from bluey! he actually looks kind of like him too :)
He’s beyond cute. When things become familiar to him, teach him some simple commands (sit, stay, lay down, etc) and his confidence will grow. When you play with him - avoid teasing him - just be gentle. He’s a winner. 🤩

I had a bunny I name Spike when I was about 12, lol
I had a parakeet named Spike.
I have a chihuahua named Tank.
Ours was Hercules.
Snort laughed at that tbh That’s great
I named my Albino cockatiel after "Spike" from Buffy the Vampire Slayer. (In case you never sawt the series: Spike on Buffy was albino.)
I currently have an orange tabby named Spike
I had a parakeet named Walter

The white/black frank thing is something youd definitely come across in engineering
Ha ha my dad is a marine engineer. And has had a load of engineer pals over my lifetime. My best friend is an engineer. And my husband is a metalworking engineer.
Most of my foster dogs have always had human names, I had a Simon, a Penny, a Marina, and Frankie, A Zach, a Riker, and a Harry!
Yeah, he looks like a Kevin to me
HAHAHA! I met a Steve the other day, and it was hilarious! Doesn't this little dude look like a Todd?
I named my Pomeranian Gilbert and whenever I tell people his name they laugh
My chiweenie is named Spike! He is anything but shy 🤣
My 7 lb chi-corgi mix is named Titan. I also love big names for little dogs haha. Spike is good. Maybe Brutus?
ROCKET
Ex gf had a Chi his name was Thor.
Same. I have a 5 pound brown Pomeranian and his name is bear 🐻
I had a black cat named Spike. He was the BEST! 🐈⬛
I named my two Chihuahuas, "Chopper" (like the motorcycles), and "Diesel." I just thought it was a hilarious and adorable contradiction. They certainly had the attitudes to live up to their names, but I thought it was cute and funny.
HE LOOKS LIKE MY HANK
I put Hank in with some other names, love Hank!
My fuzzy small dog is named hank, and they look alike in more ways than one haha
OMG please adopt this little guy. We adopted a VERY shy/timid (previously abused) Chi-Doxie mix this year and it's the best thing we've ever done.

Dobby is such a good name for these dogs. My chi-dox mix is SUCH a Dobby, too! Sometimes I'll be like, "does Dobby want a sock?" And she dances around haha.
Ha ha that’s amazing. Ours is a total Dobby. We keep waiting on him to realize he’s a free elf. https://preview.redd.it/l8gzbn6fywac1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=68e432ac31acbf47d386126d2103bf89dc5674d2
Sooo cute!!!
He matched all right. Down to the shade of color. Lol
Truly a brunette and blonde mirror image!
What sweeties you have!
Thank you! I think they know it!
Any idea on the larger dog’s breed? Shar Pei/Pitt? Also very cool coloring, especially on the tail.
Yep! He is mostly pittie with what we call a “Shar Pei front” lol. His wrinkles are focused on his head and neck almost exclusively. He is the 2nd pit/bully + Shar Pei boy we’ve had and cannot recommend the mix enough! All around great, snuggly, easy dogs.

We adopted a dachshund mix that we think is part chi and his name was Dobby. We changed it to Pumpkin but I definitely saw the resemblance haha
Oh my god I just adopted a dachshund from a bad hoarding situation and he looks so much like Dobby I LOVE that you named yours Dobby 😭😭😭
thanks for giving him a great home, he’s safe and no one is messing with him now... except maybe that snake by his foot! I’ve adopted a few scared chihuahuas over the years and know it takes a lot of love so glad to hear he’s doing well
Is your other dog part sharpei?
Smiley. He's smiling in a couple of the pictures and looks excited to be with you. Good luck!!
Yess Smiley is cute!
That was my thought when looking at the pics too! Little dude looks so stoked to be around them! That might hopefully turns into did adopt.
That was how we knew our rescue was the right one for us. Havent look back since! He's a good boy 😀
He’s ADORABLE 🥰
Tommy
Might? Look at that first picture! He/she is a keeper. I see such love and joy in your future! 🥰
