Chin-Ocker

Chin-Ocker History

The Chin-Ocker is a fairly new American hybrid, or designer, puppy. It is the result of breeding a Chihuahua with a Pug. The Chin-Ocker was named in 2016 by Laura McKowen, an animal rights activist from Missouri, after she raised a “Pug-Chi” from a litter of five puppies. The name for the mixed-breed came from a Facebook poll by Ms. McKowen, in which she asked the online community to suggest a name for her newly-created puppy.

Chin-Ocker Activity Requirements

The Chin-Retriever is an energetic, playful, and loyal dog. They have a strong desire to please their owners and are great with children. Because they are such high-energy dogs, they need regular exercise. A brisk walk or jog is all it takes to keep your Chin-Retriever happy. Because of their small size, the Chin-Retriever is not recommended for homes with small children. They are still strong enough to knock over a small child, so it is important to make sure your children are careful around the dog.
