Franz may look like a little hot dog bun with bunny ears, but this adorable Chiweenie puppy has a whole lot of personality packed into his 13-pound frame!
Around 6 months old, Franz is a sweet, affectionate boy who is still learning that the world isn’t such a scary place. He’s naturally shy with strangers and can be a little nervous in new situations, so he’ll do best with a patient family committed to continuing his socialization and helping him build confidence. Once he trusts you, though, Franz is an expert cuddler who loves to hop into your lap and soak up attention. If given the choice, he’d happily spend his nights snuggled under the covers with his favorite person.
Franz is athletic, playful, and gets along wonderfully with other dogs of all sizes. He loves a good play session and would enjoy having a confident canine companion to show him the ropes. He’s currently learning leash manners, knows how to sit, and is doing great with potty training—he’s almost got it mastered.
Like many Chiweenies, Franz has a stubborn streak and likes to make his own decisions from time to time, which only adds to his charm. He sleeps quietly in his crate at night, though he’s quick to let you know when he’d rather be out spending time with his people during the day. In fact, he will bark for quite a long time if crated during the day, so would do best in a home where he’s not spending a lot of time alone. Because he’s still a bit nervous around small children, a home with older, dog-savvy kids or adults would likely be the best fit.
If you’re looking for a loyal little sidekick who will reward your patience with endless snuggles, silly antics, and unconditional love, Franz might be your perfect match.
