Description

The Scotchi is not a purebred dog. It is a cross between the Chihuahua and the Scottie. The best way to determine the temperament of a mixed breed is to look up all breeds in the cross and know you can get any combination of any of the characteristics found in either breed. Not all of these designer hybrid dogs being bred are 50% purebred to 50% purebred. It is very common for breeders to breed multi-generation crosses.

Monster the Scotchi as a 6-month-old puppy—"He is a Scottish Terrier / Chihuahua mix; his mother was a Chihuahua and his father a Scottish Terrier. He gets most of his features from his father, like his wire hair, beard, and he looks more like a Scottish Terrier in the face, but you can still tell that he is part Chihuahua, because of his big ears, short hair, long legs and long tail. He also has a unique multi-colored coat that is tan and black, and he has a white patch on his chest and he has white on his paws. Like most Chihuahuas, he also likes to burrow in piles of blankets, and lie outside and sunbathe all day in the summer. He's a very energetic and playful puppy who loves to play fetch; he's always full of energy and ready to play. I personally like to refer to his hybrid as a Scotchahua, which would be pronounced SKA-CHOW-AH."
