    As a chihuahua owner my tip would be to let other owners know to always use a body harness when taking out for walks instead of a collar because they are prone to tracheae collapse. This way when they pull back it doesn’t put pressure on their delicate little throats.

    • @HeatherfromBabylon
      @HeatherfromBabylon Рік тому +4

      They're more hyper, as puppies, than they'll ever be again. They're not super hyper, either way. They follow their owners lead, and their mood. They'll be hyper if you're hyper with them. They are basically lap dogs. They will be always by your side. My experience, applehead chihuahuas are more laidback than deerhead chihuahuas. Both types are like cats in their ease of care.

    I’m lucky enough to have my baby chi since she was 8 weeks old. She is 12 years old now & has grown to be quite the character, all nine lbs of her. She has been very sociable all her life. Her ever loving personality makes her the center of attention, a back scratch here, ear rubs there & belly rubs anytime are her cup of tea. She’s the boss & knows it. Baby Chi loves being the leader of the pack. Girl loves her clothes & is a celebrity wherever she goes. ❤
    Dogs are truly a gift from above & proof of endless love. God bless all dogs & their owners🙏🏽

    I had two of the sweetest little girls for 18 years. They didn't bark too much and were the best watch dogs ever. They loved my kitty as well. There was only one person they were very leery of. (He was a pretty intense person.) I never went anywhere that I could not take them. They traveled like champs. They were fearless so I had to keep a close eye on them. They loved most children. They never bit anyone. I call them hummingbirds of the dog world. I agree to have at least two is best for them to keep each other company when you can't be with them. (Any pet should have a companion, not just Chi's). I would get two more but I'm almost 80 so to do that would mean I may leave them before they leave me. So I'll just spoil my daughters now and enjoy them. Be safe and happy everyone and love your pets whether they are Chi's or not. 😊

    I have been a Chihuahua mom to a total of 3, and they were all rescues. From a toddler, I have always had at least one dog - of one breed/size or another - in my home at all times. Now at the ripe age of 66, I must admit that these 3 little ones have brought me more joy than I've ever known; but at the same time, losing them (2 - I still have one) has been the most heartbreaking, gut wrenching experience I have ever had as well. I would not trade one single second of any of this for ANYTHING. I am now at the point of looking for at least one more. They keep me young, give me great exercise and never fail to lift my mood when I'm feeling blue. I would highly recommend sharing your home and your heart with a Chihuahua to just about anyone.

I never leave her alone for more than a couple hours and when I get home its pure pandamodem she looses her little mind. She gets zoomies ,and she is all over me with lovens then she beats me up and then back to lovens and cuddles its so cute.

    I have a Chihuahua and she is absolutely adorable. I got her from the street and she's been with me for the last eight years. During this time she has adapted to living with my dad's dog after my dad passed. She also adapted well when my two year old great granddaughter and her parents came to live with me while my grandson finished his doctorate. Now, three weeks ago she's in the process of training an Airedale young dog that was abandoned in the park near our house. Lolita is a champion.

We promised my bf's mom we would take her chi mix if anything happened to her. she developed alzheimers and had to go into care, she passed a year later. We took Jessie when she went into care. After almost four years he still cries, talks, sobs, and moans in his sleep. After all this time, he still misses her. It has improved, but it's so sad to hear it.

      Thank you for training your dogs! As you know every moment you spend training your dog you get back ten fold. More people should understand that a Chihuahua's size does not mean it does not need rules. Most Chihuahua's notorious bad behaviors are because their owner creates and reinforces it (as seen through the countless tiktoks and videos of people making their dog snap at them by teasing them). The peace of mind that your dog isn't bolting out the door every time it's opened is priceless. Thank you for making an environment where your dogs are confident in your leadership and behave because you created a special bond of trust with them makes well balanced pets!

It still hurts deeply!! However; I am sooo Thankful for the times we were together and Cherish my Memories of her!! It was Adorable how much she Loved Toys and it was so FUN to watch her play with them!! The best thing about her was she always made me feel so Loved!!! She was the Church Mascot where I attended!! She came every Sunday and she was very quiet the whole Service and stayed in her little bed the whole time!! She Loved to go to Church and when I would mention it she would get so very Excited!! Five years before she went away for good she died in a house fire!! Some old wiring caught fire unexpectedly in the walls!! It was Devastating Trauma, however; I watched the fire fighters bring her back!!! It was a Beautiful Miracle!! I am so Thankful for those last five years of Leah Loves Life!! I will Cherish the memories Forever!!!!

    Just be careful that your garden is fully fenced, no tiny gaps for small dogs to squeeze through. Also, beware of urban or country foxes who will attack a small chi, as will hawks. Watch them at all times if they are in a large garden. The long haired version, may also need bottom washed and dried after toileting sometimes, but they do fit in the sink nicely! Also, they like to be kept warm and cosy in winter. Young puppies can suffer from falling blood sugar levels so whilst they are young and using up energy quickly, always carry a small bottle of water mixed with sugar to prevent this. They also find it hard to regulate their body temperatures, so a little coat in cool weather is a good idea. They are wonderful adorable little pet companions but you do have to be prepared to watch over them and protect them…lots of TLC!

Ironically strangers can be wary of them when they start growling. When I see that start laughing as that is they can do behind the gate. Love them very much.

She sits on the couch ends, she sleeps on the highest bed on the cat tower ( yes, she climbs there by herself ), licks herself and her catfriends like a cat and likes to play with the laserpointer! Last year we've got a stray kitten that a neighbour found on the streets. My dog was the first one to learn him everything! These two together also play allot like running after eachother and they play together with the rope toy. chihauhaus are amazing and very adaptable

    I adopted my first little chihuahua mix last year and would agree with all that was said. She was very fearful of others when I first got her but has grown to be very firendly. One thing that was not mentioned was that they have very long nails and are very "handsy". They will demand your attention by pawing like crazy. This can be somewhat of a challenge around children as they are prone to scratch you in their excitment.

      Please find someone who can properly care for your dog or educate yourself. Chihuahuas DO NOT have long nails as a breed standard. The extra long nails are because you NEGLECT your dog and don't clip it's nails which is VERY PAINFUL for your dog. You are the poster child for people who should not own a pet. Wake up and take your dog to the vet or a groomer and have its nails clipped regularly or find a responsible person to care for your dog. Your dog is pawing at you like crazy because you didn't properly train it.If your dog is a "challenge" around children it is because you never put the time in to train your dog, it's not a "chihuahua thing" is a owner who refuses to understand ALL dogs need to be properly trained. If you care even a tiny bit about your dog take the time to educate yourself and rethink your responsibility in owning a dog.

Until then he's getting a bit of exercise on the carpeted stairs (I do try to watch over and supervise him due to his sore joints). I love him and take him with me most everywhere. He's so good at sitting quietly on his blanket in the shopping cart. Unless he see's a big dog, then it's nonstop barking, lol.

      Try giving your baby some freeze dried chicken hearts every day. They are a good source of taurine, which is VERY important for their heart. Most dogs don't get enough taurine in their daily diet. Also, try to keep her teeth clean. If she won't let you brush them, try some oral probiotics for dogs. These are probiotics for their mouth, which help with dental health. I get them from Amazon. Enjoy all the love and kisses.

      Why do you let your dog jump all over people? Not everyone is open to having a dog run up on them and jump on them and you could be putting your dog at risk of someone kicking and hurting (or killing) your dog (which will be YOUR fault because YOU failed to control your dog). If you really love your dog train him to NOT jump on ANYONE, it is not "CUTE" when you reinforce bad behavior. There are people who can be traumatized by your dog jumping on them because of a past event or phobia. Your dogs behavior is 100% YOUR responsibility and when you fail to control your dog you put HIS LIFE 100% at risk.

We discovered she's not too fond of younger children when my son's girlfriend brought her little niece over. (Of course it didn't help that the niece was squealing and chasing after her.) She also thinks she's a lot tougher than she is. She instigates trouble with our neighbor's dogs, who are PIT BULLS! I'm not sure if she realizes that's who she's barking at!! Lucky for her, they are nice Pit Bulls. Also, my Chihuahua prefers to be naked. :)
