About Chip

Chip is the charming dog you didn’t know you needed. At just 1 year old and 29lbs, this Miniature Poodle mixed breed knows he's the star of the show and takes his role seriously. He enjoys swimming, playing with other dogs, and loves the attention when you take a moment to admire him. Once you’re part of his circle, he revels in having his luscious curls brushed and his chin scratched. Adjusting to new spaces may take Chip a little time, but once he's comfortable, he reveals his true, affectionate nature. He prefers a household where everyone knows he’s in charge; he might steal your lunch, but that’s only because he believes he already owns it! Patience and understanding are key with him.
