Yes please take care of your animals!
Out of all the dog breeds out there, I think chihuahuas are the feistiest relative to their small stature. Amazing!
People still treat them like their children though. The most famous among them being Paris Hilton I think
I've got some anecdotal evidence that if you threat a chihuahua like a dog it will behave like a dog. If you treat it like a fashion accessory it will behave like spawn of satan.
If I would ever get a dog it would not be a small one.
You'd be aggressive too if most of your ancestors were probably bred as food for the tribe. Then again, they do have a god complex.
Tbh I used to hate chihuahuas, thought they were mean and ugly. I found stray chihuahua puppies in our apartment complex. I didn't want them because I was content with my pitbull mix. But they would would be so happy to see me, wouldn't leave my side and followed me everywhere. They're pretty indifferent to strangers while my pitbull loves people.
I realized Chihuahuas basically reserve all their love for their owners and just don't care about anyone else. They're well behaved and good dogs though because I raised them the same way I raised my pitbull. Since I was always a "big" dog person and didn't seek them out for their "cuteness" and didn't spoil them, they turned out to be pretty bomb.
This makes sense. The Chihuahuas that come by our office are always so sweet and obedient to their owners and snippy with us
Chihuahua's are small and "cute", so people don't socialize them properly. When they misbehave it's "cute" and they don't get punished. If they're properly trained, it's not an issue. The type of people who get chihuahua's are not the type of people to know how to handle a dog, sadly.
Chihuahuas?! Have you met Yorkies? Those little things are the definition of feisty
I had a little pup bite me once so this is not a lie. So much sass in such a little package
