Hmmmm... well let's see, besides being such adorable little creatures chihuahuas are spunky , affectionate, protective of their human guardians and their food. Chihuahua bond very closely with one or two people and generally do not like to be left alone. Also chihuahuas do not seem to know just how small they are. They just love to snuggle under warm clothes or blankets, they get eal cozy. I Don't want to make a blanket statement about all Chihuahuas so I must tell you I base all this information solely on my little girl chihuahua named Chalupa. I'm also sure you will find much information on this site , it is filled with friendly and knowledgefull people. You have come to the right place to learn about chihuahuas. Take care:)

Your local library will have many books about chihuahuas. The best in my opinion is Chihuahuas for Dummies.

Chihuahua's are a wonderful breed. They have a very big personality for such a small breed. Willa is right they are the smallest breed of dog, and like she said there is some dogs that are smaller chihuahua's but as a breed chihuahua's are the smallest dog.

Also chihuahua are the world's smallest breed. There is no breed of dog smaller. Chihuahuas are spunky and have a heart like a lion. Chihuahuas need protection just like any other small breed toy dog.

Chihuahuas are the world's smallest breed of dog.The breed of mini pinschers as a breed are still larger than chihuahuas. I'm not saying there aren't some dogs that are small for their breed.

Chihuahuas are the smallest breed in the world because they are the only breed that was never bred down to a smaller size, like a Min Pin for instance. Chihuahuas were always small - although some have been bred to a slightly smaller size to create the so called, "teacups". Chis can range in size from 1.5 to 15 pounds. They are intelligent, swift moving, loyal, moody, playful, arrogant at times, and lovable. If you have a big enough heart and the time you can't go wrong with a Chihuahua!

I have a chihuahua too, like other small dogs chihuahuas are yappy sometimes, it is a good watch dog too, I was coming down stairs in the middle of the night and Rico barked and growled until I turned on the light so he could see it was me. Excellent pets if I should say so my self, to control barking simply tell them no and eventually they will learn, if no doesnt work snap your fingers in front of its face to show your serious and it needs to watch out, show who,s boss.

Well all I have to say is a chihuahua may be too protective over its owner so if i where you don't get in a fight with anybody or the person you fight with will get bit.

My chihuahua's name is reeci she is 2 1/2 pounds and is full grown. She always wants to be with people and if she's not with someone she'll find a way to be with them.She has figured out how to open doors and wont take no for an answer if you dont give her attention! She shakes when she's happy sad and in trouble, but not when shes sleeping.I dont know what i'd do without her! I've grown very close to her.She's family and always will be!

I just got a 7 week old female chihuahua. She is the cutest thing in the world. I love her so much. Anyway, my question is she had a small white tear drop mark in the middle of her forehead and I was just wondering if that was one of their traits. A friend of mine told me it was but then another one of my friends said its not so I was just curious.
