Chihuahua history
The Chihuahua originated from Mexico and descended from the larger Techichi breed that was the favorite of the Toltec people that lived in central Mexico between the 10th and 12th centuries.
When the Aztecs dominated Mexico during the 14th century, they further refined the Techichi into tinier and lighter dogs.
After the Aztec’s fall, these tiny dogs survived in small numbers mainly in the Chihuahua region of modern Mexico where they got their name. They were first registered in the American Kennel Club (AKC) in 1904.
Pitbull history
The bull and terrier dogs who arrived from the British Isles in the 19th century were the ancestors of the American Pit Bull Terrier.
When the bloodsport of bull and bear baiting was outlawed, they were eventually utilized as companions and working dogs to move livestock and hunt hogs.
In 1898, the breed was recognized by the United Kennel Club (UKC) but not by the AKC due to its affiliation with dog fighting.

Mix Chihuahua and Pitbull ideal living conditions
Chi Pit Mix or Chiwawa Pit Mix are quite active dogs that need a good amount of space where they can roam around.
So if you have a large backyard, it’s a good idea to let your Pitbull Chihuahua Mix roam freely in your yard so they can play and walk around. This will help them expend some of that pent up energy.
If you do let them play outside, make sure your backyard is fully fenced so your pups are safe and sound.
We do want you to be aware that some towns or counties may have zoning laws that prohibit the installation of physical fences. If this is the case, don’t worry.
A great alternative would be to install a wireless dog fence which will also keep your K9 friends safe and contained within your backyard.
What’s great about the invisible doggy fence is that it is cost-efficient, flexible, and adaptable to any and all types of terrains, including hilly, mountainous, and flat grassy terrains.
Also, Pitbull and Chihuahua Mix puppies may not tolerate cold temperatures well. You may have to put on a shirt on your Chipit puppy to keep them warm.

You can calculate the right amount of exercise for your Pitbull Chihuahua puppy by multiplying 5 minutes for every month of age.
If you let your Pitbull mixed Chihuahua play outside in your backyard during the day, it may be a good idea to install an electronic dog door which will allow your furry friends to head outside whenever he wants and come back into the house when he is ready.
What’s great about the automatic doggy door is that it is easy to program and dog owners can easily set curfew hours.
This way, whether you work from home or at the office, your four-legged friends can now head outside and get some fresh air during the day while staying safe indoors at night.
Pitbull Chihuahua grooming and cleaning
A Pit Mixed with Chihuahua is pretty much easy to groom and clean.
A Chihuahua Mixed with a Pitbull has a short coat that does not require a great deal of your time to brush and de-mat its coat.
Still, it’s a good practice to teach your Chihuahua Pitbull puppies how to be comfortable during the grooming process.
If the Pitbull Chihuahua puppies cooperates while being groomed and cleaned, show your appreciation by giving them rewards in the form of treats or plenty of hugs and kisses.
Bathing
Fortunately, a Pitbull Chihuahua mix does not need to be bathed on a weekly basis.
In fact, frequent bathing will strip off its natural oil which leads to skin drying and a dull coat.
Once a month or even less is recommended for a short-haired Pitbull Chihuahua Mix.
Use a dog shampoo that is formulated with dog-friendly ingredients.
In between bath times, you can wipe its coat with alcohol-free doggie wipes to clean its skin and coat.
Brushing
Avoid using hard-bristled brushes on your Pitbull Chihuahua mix because it may cause pain and discomfort to a short-haired dog like a Chipit.
Instead, you can use a slicker brush or soft-bristled brush to distribute the natural oil around its body.
Another good choice is a round pin brush that is softly coated on the tip making it gentle on the skin.
Fortunately, the coat of a Pitbull Chihuahua is not prone to matting, hence, you do not have to devote a longer time brushing your dog.
Nail Trimming
One of the difficult parts in dog grooming is nail trimming. Owners should gradually train Chihuahua Pitbull puppies how to be comfortable during nail trimming sessions.
Ideally, this should be done within the first few weeks upon bringing home your puppy.
Use a sharp nail trimmer for dogs and clip only the tip portion to avoid hurting your puppy.
The idea is to let the puppy get used to it. Now if you have a super anxious puppy, the next best thing is to use a dog nail grinder.
Teeth Brushing
Oral health is as important as coat care. Cleaning the teeth and gums of your dog will delay the onset of periodontal diseases.
The best type of toothpaste for dogs is enzymatic toothpaste because it’s made of natural ingredients.
It is highly effective in freshening your dog’s breath and in preventing tartar accumulation.
To make his teeth cleaner, you can let him enjoy dental chews to further improve your dog’s teeth and gum health.
Ear/Eye Cleaning
Did you know that one sign of ear infection is excessive ear wax?
So, make it a habit to inspect your dog’s ears and clean them with gentle ear drops for dogs or ear/eye wipes.
Wiping off debris and ear wax will stop bacterial and fungal infections.
The same can be said with eye care. Wipe clean debris on the eyes because these may irritate the eyes.

No, a half Pit half Chihuahua is not hypoallergenic. A Chihuahua Pit Bull may be short-haired, but their dander and saliva can cause allergic reactions in some persons.
If you or anyone in your family has canine allergy or is sensitive to dog allergy, it’s a good idea to place several air purifiers throughout your home.
Many prefer air purifiers that have a HEPA filter because it effectively removes odor, germs, pollen, mold, dander, dust, dust mites, and dog fur from the air.
Do Pitbull Chihuahua Mix shed?
While a Chipit dog breed may be short-haired, they still shed.
However, Chipits dog do not shed as profusely as double-coated and long-haired dogs.
If you’re annoyed by the amount of fur on your sofa, carpet, hardwood floor, or furniture throughout the year, it is a good idea to invest in a powerful and durable vacuum cleaner.
With two dogs in our home, we recommend the Miele Vacuum Cleaner because it quiet, durable, and can seamlessly vacuum between hardwood floors and carpet.
