Chipin
Alert. loyal. Yours.
Nobody warns you that a Chipin is basically a five-pound security system with an attitude problem and the legs of a tiny supermodel. You cross a Chihuahua with a Miniature Pinscher and somehow get a dog that's convinced it's running a Fortune 500 company from your lap.

The Chipin experience
You know you're a Chipin owner when...
●The tremble. Not because they're cold, not because they're scared, because they're vibrating with opinions they can't physically contain in a body that small.
●That Min Pin prance mixed with Chihuahua attitude, watching them high-step across the room like a tiny, deeply offended runway model.
●The burrowing. Under blankets, under pillows, under your shirt if you let them, they don't want to be near you, they want to be inside your personal space.
●The alert bark that could wake the dead, triggered by a leaf, a shadow, the neighbor three houses down, or absolutely nothing at all.
●Watching them claim the exact center of a king-size bed and somehow making a seven-pound dog take up the space of a Labrador.
