Meet Archie – Tiny Dog, Big Vibes, Legendary Aiming Skills
(Min Pin/Chihuahua Mix | 16 lbs of Pure Sass | Age: Delightfully Adult | Energy: Pocket Rocket)
If you’ve ever wanted a dog who is equal parts snuggler, goofball, and professional tree-marker, allow us to introduce: Archie.
This little man is 16 pounds of confidence, brains, and pure comedic genius. He’s what we like to call a “fun-size alpha with a PhD in cleverness and a minor in mischief.” He’s sweet as pie, smart as heck, and has mastered the fine art of looking adorable while trying to out-pee a Great Dane.
Archie’s Signature Move: The High Pee Challenge™
This boy stands on his tippy toes and lifts his leg like he's watering a tree on Mount Everest. It’s not about function. It’s about form. It’s about flair. It’s about showing the big dogs who’s boss without ever raising his voice. We don’t make the rules—Archie does.
Smarty Pants Certified:
Navigates the doggy door like a seasoned escape artist
Knows how to charm humans with the perfect head tilt
Has a sixth sense for snack crinkles
Might be coding apps in his sleep, not sure
Dog Stuff? He’s into it.
Walks? Yes.
Snuggles? Oh yeah.
Sunbathing like he’s on a tiny chaise lounge in Malibu? Every dang day.
He fits right in with other dogs and knows how to make himself at home without causing drama. Just vibes, cuddles, and the occasional comedy set.
Snuggle Level: Olympic
Archie is elite in the art of being cozy. He’s the perfect size to burrow into blankets, curl up in your lap, or mysteriously disappear into a throw pillow pile until you hear him softly snoring. He believes in love, loyalty, and premium napping conditions.
Archie’s Life Motto:
“If you can’t be the tallest, pee the highest.” ✨
He’s looking for his forever people – the kind who appreciate a witty little sidekick with legs like chopsticks and a heart of gold. Bonus if you have a fenced yard, squishy dog bed, or a strong appreciation for bathroom-based athleticism.
