Chiwoxy

Chiwoxy History

The Chiwoxy is a tiny, shaggy, mop-haired toy terrier. The ancestry of the Chiwoxy is uncertain, but it is thought that it is descended from the smooth-coated English Black and Tan Terrier. The Chiwoxy is unusual in that it is one of very few toy terriers that have long hair (rather than a shaved or powderpuff coat). The hair curls and hangs down in waves, giving the Chiwoxy a shaggy, squeezable, teddy bear-like appearance. The origin of the name “Chiwoxy” is also uncertain. One possibility is that the name is an acronym for “chihuahua and Yorkie”, because early versions of the breed were a cross between Chihuahuas and Yorkshire Terriers.

Chiwoxy Activity Requirements

Chiwoxy is a mid-sized, intelligent dog that makes a great companion. They are known to be quick learners and are easily trained. While they need regular exercise, they are not as high strung or as high-energy as some other breeds. A short daily walk or a short play session is a good amount of activity for the average Chiwox. They are a medium energy, medium maintenance dog that does well in a wide variety of living situations. They are generally low maintenance, but you do need to spend some time playing with and training them every day.
