Fact: Chihuahua's are the only dog native to the America's, originally from Mexico.

Answers:

Chihuahuas are prized for their devotion and personality. Their alertness, intelligence and size make them easily adaptable to a variety of environments, including the city and small apartments. While Chihuahuas are often stereotyped as high-strung, correct training and socialization can result in an outstanding companion animal.

Chihuahuas are not well-suited as small children's pets because of their size and physical fragility. However, many Chihuahuas focus their devotion on one person, becoming overly jealous of that person's human relationships. This can be mitigated through socialization. Chihuahuas also tend to have a "clannish" nature, often preferring the companionship of other Chihuahuas over other dogs. Also, Chihuahuas seem to have no concept of their own size, and may fearlessly confront larger animals, which can result in injury.

Chihuahuas are sensitive to the cold due to their small body size. Chihuahua owners often dress their dogs in sweaters or coats in cold weather.


yes, but they are very fragile and sensitive. I would not advise getting a small dog if you have small children. they can also be very snippy and because they tend to be a little nervous, they may pee all over your floor if you yell at them.
Yes but they bark and bite alot !
I've heard they are very yappy. I know someone who had one and it liked to nip at peoples ankles.
I grew up with my grandparents having chihuahua and they were great! Short-haired ones can't handle the cold so if you live in a state where you actually have cold winters, you'll have to make it wear a sweater while going outside to go potty!
Yes, but they do not do good around kids, they are just to nervous of a breed.
They are good pets if you have time to spend with them, they need lots of attention, so if you are gone a lot they are not the dog for you. Also they are very nervous little dogs and not really good with kids.
Yes I have one..she is three pounds. She is the smallest lump of love I have ever know in animals
