Chilier Main Personality Traits

The Chilier dog breed is social, affectionate, and calm but can be somewhat sassy. These dogs also have a stubborn streak but are loyal, loving, happy, sweet, and independent. They are recognised by the Designer Dogs Kennel Club and have the best traits of their parents.

It is crucial that you buy your pup from a reputable breeder because even though you can’t be 100% sure what temperament your Chilier will grow to have, they ensure that both parents have a good temperament. This helps when choosing a pup and will help you find one with a balanced and well-rounded personality.

Chiliers are affectionate

This sweet little pup loves being around its humans. They are very people-orientated, affectionate, and loving and will happily snuggle up with you on the couch or go on daily adventures. You will surely have one cute cuddle buddy, and you can expect many kisses and cuddles. They are also affectionate with other dog breeds and animals.

Chiliers are intelligent

This designer dog breed is incredibly bright. They love being mentally stimulated, so ensure that you have tons of interactive toys for them to play with. They love keeping busy and doing things all the time, so keep them entertained, and they will be very happy!

Chiliers are playful

This King Charles Spaniel Chihuahua mix loves to play with children, other animals, or their owners. These little guys are always down for a good time and will never miss an opportunity to have fun and run around.
 

Chiliers and Your Family

All dog owners must ensure that the pup they want will be a good match for their home and family. This can be done by understanding how a Chilier is around other humans and animals is crucial.

Can Chiliers Live With Other Dogs?

Yes, Chiliers can live with other dogs. This mix breed will get along well with other dogs, but they must be well-socialised and introduced at an early age. Since a Chilier is a small dog, it may not be best to pair them with larger breeds, but they will love having any companion dog.

Can Chiliers Live With Other Pets?

Chiliers adapt well to living with other animals as long as they are introduced to each other properly. Both parent breeds are outgoing and friendly, making this pup the perfectly amiable mix.

Can Chiliers Live With Kids?

Chiliers are an excellent choice for families with children. They are friendly and playful, so they love running around with the children. However, it is best to keep smaller children and dogs supervised.
 

Do Chiliers Have Any Behavioural Issues?

These small dogs are major extroverts and need attention, so they may turn to destructive behaviours if left on their own or aren’t receiving enough love. Chiliers that take after their Chihuahua parent, may be fairly territorial, leading to yapping and barking.

Luckily, these behaviours can be corrected. Teaching your Chilier puppy the correct behaviours as early as possible is best. This means early socialisation and obedience training. Get them to learn these skills and you will have a well-behaved pup!
 

FAQs

Can Chiliers be left alone?

You can leave a Chilier home alone for a short while. They can suffer from separation anxiety or turn to destructive behaviours if left alone for too long. These dogs are very social and thrive on being around their humans.

Do Chiliers bark a lot?

Some Chiliers may have a fairly snappy temperament so they may bark more than others. Their Cavalier King Charles Spaniel parent does not bark much, but their Chihuahua parent is known for barking, so it depends on the parent they take after.

Are Chiliers active dogs?

Yes, the Chilier is an active little dog. This designer dog breed loves to play and keep busy so they will need daily walks and exercise. Keep them engaged with toys, take them to the dog park, or go for walks or runs with your fur baby!
 

Final Thoughts on Chilier Temperament & Personality

Both parents of the Chilier are purebred dogs and give this pup the perfect mix of both personalities. Keep in mind that all dogs are unique and have their own traits.

It is common for a Chilier to take more traits from one parent than the other, but they are generally a good blend of the two. This mixed breed has a wonderful temperament, and all pet owners will be happy with one of these in their homes!
