When you think of Insta-famous dogs, you may picture Doug The Pug, Loki The Wolfdog or Menswear Dog. However, there are some Chiweenies who have successfully established themselves as bona fide social media stars.
To start, we’ve got Tuna Melts My Heart (@tunameltsmyheart) who has an incredible 2 million followers on Instagram alone! Tuna is a 12 year-old Chiweenie with an exaggerated overbite, recessed jaw and a magnificent wrinkly neck. He was adopted by his owner Courtney in December of 2010 before achieving social media dominance. His website explains why he’s resonated with dog lovers online.
His loyal followers embrace his physical differences, have fallen in love with his charm and connect to his message; that true beauty comes in all forms and radiates from within.
While Tuna is the most popular Chiweenie on social media, we’ve also got Gracie (@scottyhubs). This 10-year-old Chiweenie achieved social media success during Coronavirus lockdown as TikTok’s popularity soared.
The rescue dog has over 7 million TikTok followers and her videos have been liked over 250 million times on the video-sharing platform to highlight her popularity on the video-sharing app.
Frequently Asked Questions About Chiweenies
What are Chiweenies like?
At my house we have three dogs. We have one Golden Retriever, and two Chiweenies. Pegasus (Peggy) is the first Chiweenie I’ve ever owned. She is 9.5 years old. We enjoyed having her so much that a few years later we rescued Thor, an all black medium sized Chiweenie. Like people do, they each have their own distinct personality. Peggy is a tiny dog. She loves people, is smart, and is able to go with the flow. Thor is anxious and barks at people and dogs he doesn’t know. Peggy never barks! I don’t think this is typical Chiweenie behavior. We just lucked out.

How often should I bathe my Chiweenie?
I don’t bath Ralphie too often; it might be tempting to pamper little pooches, but over-bathing can strip a dogs coat of it’s natural oils and shine; I tend to bath Ralphie once a month just to freshen him up and to help dislodge loose hairs when he’s malting. Unless he rolls in fox poo, which he has a terrible habit of doing, then it’s straight in the tub! But I always wipe down his paws after every walk to avoid him licking anything harmful from his feet! Esepcially in the Winter when there is alot of salt on the roads and pavement.
• Ralphie the Chiweenie
Do Chiweenie dogs bark a lot?
Thor is a nervous boy. He was a rescue, who I believe was taken from his family too soon (he came to us as an emergency situation). As a result, he might be more high strung than the average Chiweenie. Pegasus never, ever barks. She will play fight with the other dogs or me and bark and growl then, but I don’t think that really counts. Now is probably a great time to mention that none of my dogs would ever bite. Even when I stick my hand in their mouth while playing.

How long can a Chiweenie be left alone?
Ralphie tends to spend alot of his time with me, as he works by my side too! He’ll let me know when he wants some alone time, as he’ll take himself off to his bed, or mine, and have a nap! If I do have to leave him home alone, I leave the TV or radio on to give him some company, but I know that he pretty much sleeps the whole time I’m gone!
