Rico follows his natural instincts by tracking down a gopher at the dog park. Chiweenies are Dachshund/Chihuahua hybrids. Dachshunds are miniature hound dogs bred to hunt rabbits, badgers, and gophers (dogtime.com, 2016).
Rico, like most Chiweenies, enjoys tunneling for critters, spending up to half his time at the dog park tracking and tunneling for gophers. When he finds one, he raises a paw, signaling his owner to catch the gopher. Rico prefers not to do the dirty work himself.

Chiweenies are delightful dogs and if they have the Dach heavy genes then they often enjoy digging.
