I have the sweetest pup in the whole world! She is a 10 month old chocolate colored Chi-weenie! Part Dachsund and part Chihuahua. I have never had any problems with her chewing on my things. She potty trained with no problems at all. And the amazing thing is that she is not a noisy yapper! Many small dogs have a tendency to bark constantly. Not my Coco! She is very loving and intertaining and never fails to brighten my day!
