I am not familiar with how to create monsters in 4th edition yet, so I've been taking bits and pieces of existing ones or just renaming ones in the Monster Manual. Anyway, so how many XP would this monster be worth?

Chaos Chihuahua
Abyssal soup dogs originally from the back alleys of the City of Brass in the Elemental Chaos. They eventually spread to other warm places and are now a favorite pet of succubi concubines and considered a tasty treat to red dragons.
Chaos Chihuahua Level 1 Minion
small elemental beast (fire) XP 25
Initiative: +0 Senses: Perception +0
Fire Shield (Fire): aura 1; any creature that enters or begins its turn
in the aura takes 1 fire damage.
HP 1; a missed attack never damages a minion.
AC 12; Fortitude 12, Reflex 11, Will 8
Speed 5
Ankle Bite (standard; at-will) ✦ Fire
+4 vs. AC; 1 damage plus 3 fire damage.
Stoopid Fury (free, when its master is attacked; encounter)
The Chaos Chihuahua makes an ankle bite attack with a +2
bonus to the attack roll and deals an extra 2 damage on a hit.
Alignment Unaligned Languages None
Str 10 (+0) Dex 10 (+0) Wis 10 (+0)
Con 12 (+1) Int 1/2 Cha 11 (+0)

Yeah, I know its stupid, I was going to name them hot dogs but found a monster name generator online which of course inspired some more monsters.
random crap

Rune Sloth of the Apocalypse - a retardedly slow herald of doom - speed 2 fell troll pg 255
Vampire Snail - very slow ineffective monster - a flightless stirge pg 248
All-devouring Storm Pony - a flying pony - thunderblast cyclone pg 105
Gelatinous Sewer Goblin - horror of the smelly dark - ochre jelly pg 202

ROTFB (Rolling on the floor BARKING)!! :D ..but seriously, if the pooch has special attacks (for example, its aura which is an autohit) I'd make it worth more than a level 1 creature..

XP is based on the monster's level. Additionally if you need help stating monsters, check out my nifty Manual of Monster Creation.
