Metis in the dog world are animals that are obtained by mixing two breeds. The article will discuss the mestizos produced from the smallest decorative dogs - Chihuahua. These animals are so cute that they seem to be living toys. But in fact, babes have a wayward character. Mixing them with other breeds, they get not just a dog with an original appearance, but also more stable, balanced animals.
General about mestizo
Metis do not belong to pedigree dogs, they are rarely created purposefully, often puppies are obtained when the breeder has not followed the animals. Métis supporters believe that they inherit from the pedigree parents all the best qualities, but at the same time you never know what a surprise it will be from such a union. A pair of Chihuahuas can make both small and medium dogs, for example, the Chinese crested hen, husky, lapdog, shih-tzu and even mongrel.
Particularly cute animals are obtained from a mixture of Chihuahuas and Papillon butterflies.
Metis have a weight of 1 to 4 kilograms. There are extremely beautiful specimens, but, unfortunately, hybrids live a little, and often inherit diseases of both breeds. Most often they are sterilized so as not to create non-robust offspring in the future. Metis are acquired by people who want to have a small cute dog for little money.
But by and large, such puppies should be transferred into good hands for free, you should not pay the breeder's marriage.
