5 Legged Puppy

New owner Allyson Siegel stated that she plans to pay an additional $2,000 to have the extra leg removed and has changed the dog's name from Precious to Lilly. Siegel then plans to give the dog to her sister in Charlotte, North Carolina.

The puppy was one of six in a litter to Calvin Owensby. He stated that his girlfriend didn't want to see the otherwise healthy dog in a freak show and accepted Siegel's bid to save her.

Chihuahua

In the United States, the American fast food chain Taco Bell, which features Mexican food, launched an advertising campaign in 1997 using the chihuahua as a mascot. The dog's catch phrase, "Yo quiero Taco Bell!" which means "I want Taco Bell," became a popular part of American pop culture.

Chihuahuas have remained in pop culture due to their popularity with movie stars such as Paris Hilton and Madonna. In 2008, the movie Beverly Hills Chihuahua released, causing another spike in popularity and sales with this breed.

Chiweenie

A Chiweenie is a hybrid breed or mixed breed of dog; a cross between a Dachshund and a Chihuahua. An adult Chiweenie can weigh between five and 10 pounds. They usually have the length of a Daschund but have a small head shaped like that of a Chihuahua.http://www.designermixes.org/Breed_Info/172/Chiweenie.aspx

Chiweenies are recognized by the Designer Dogs Kennel Club and the American Canine Hybrid Club, they are not purebreds so they're not recognized by the AKC.http://www.dogbreedinfo.com/chiweenie.htm The appearance can greatly vary as some have characteristics more similar to the Daschund while others look more like a Chihuahua. Their sizes also vary and some are tiny, especially if a parent was a Toy Chihuahua.http://www.dogbreedinfo.com/chiweenie.htm
