Is a Chihuahua the dog for you?

 

Chihuahuas and other tiny dogs look cute in commercials and movies.  Many are small enough to carry around in a purse or large pocket, and some of these social animals love to go everywhere with their owners. 

Unfortunately, TV makes these dogs seem more like an accessory you can dress to match your wardrobe, instead of a living animal with needs and problems.

Owning one of these precious creatures isnt for everyone.  They are extra dependent on their owners and need more attention than many other breeds.  Their small size makes them more susceptible to cold than larger dogs.  Their clever personality can cause them to interpret rules as a challenge to overcome instead of limits to obey.  Some of them get motion sickness, and cant travel around with the owner all day.

This little boy found some Christmas cloth to play with.  His fur looks brown in this picture, but is really blue.

Can become destructive if left alone for hours.

A Chihuahua is only happy around its human.  This breed doesnt handle being alone at home as well as other breeds.  When left alone, this breed becomes nervous.  The longer it is alone, the more anxious it gets, so it looks for something to do- like knock over the garbage, or chew on someones best shoes.  The dog may normally know it is doing wrong, but he or she is just so upset that the teeth must chew something.  The dog that knows it has done wrong gets even more panicky and upset, and becomes even more destructive.  Locking a Chihuahua in a crate when alone prevents most of the problem, but only works for about 6-8 hours at a time.  If you are away from home most of each day, you should get a mellow dog that amuses itself. 

 

Chihuahuas prefer to socialize only with other Chihuahuas.

They do tend to be snobs, and associate only with their own kind, although I have seen them accept a Pomeranian or Pekinese as an equal.  Watching two or three Chihuahuas play together is amusing. But be careful, each dog wants personal time being the most loved dog, so dont make the mistake of getting too many.  An insecure dog is a problem dog.

Here is the father of both puppies.  He is a teacup toy, and very proud of his babies.

They live to love

These dogs are exceptionally smart, and proud of their cleverness.  I will never forget the day my husband built a yard to hold our four-month-old pup safely.  He closed the gate and walked away, leaving her in the new enclosure.  Before wed walked twenty feet, she was prancing on the path ahead of us, showing off how easily she had escaped.  She expected us to be proud of her, and was so surprised when my husband yelled at her.

So dont get one of these tiny geniuses if you want a dog that obeys your every word.  Part of the joy of these dogs is their delight at finding their way around the limits you set.  They do want to please, but they are creative and want you to see it.  It takes time and patience to teach them the rules that must be obeyed and what is play.

 

Is always excited to see you

This is part of the charm of owning a Chihuahua.  Every fiber of its being is thrilled that you are alive.  When you wake up in the morning, that little dog is dancing around, overjoyed to see you.  If you step into the bathroom, you come out to an eager friend, ready for whatever is next.  If you have been sitting quietly, when you stand up, your little buddy is up and energized, ready to play.  Delight fills these little dogs every time you move.  They pour out love and will gladly lie next to you quietly for hours.  They eagerly wait to give you attention and are always ready to amuse you.  This level of energy might be too much for a person who is already nervous and is looking for a calm pet. 

Chihuahuas are charming pets and have wonderful personality traits, but they are not the right dog for everyone.  They can be a challenge to train and are demanding.  They are ideal for people who spend a lot of time at home, and their diminutive size is a plus for someone who lives in a small apartment.
