My little chocolate tri boy will be 2 next year & he’s still tiny- 1.8kg! Best dog I’ve ever been dad to. Very accurate video. Chihuahuas have the biggest personalities & the biggest hearts
I always wanted a Pomeranian as well, but after a while, I just realized that having a super clean home is most important for me, and I do not like fur and fluff. So I went with my other favourite- a Chinese Crested. When I went to see the Crested pup, I accidentally fell in love with a tiny chihuahua pup. I took them both…❤
Here's an easy way to potty train your puppy. I have a Chihuahua and the way I potty trained her when she was a pup, was I bought a two door dog crate that was 24 inches by 18 inches. At the same time, I also bought a solid plastic container that was 24 inches by 18 inches with high sides at Wal-Mart. So what I did is on one side of that plastic container, using a hack saw I cut out an opening big enough for a Chihuahua to ingress and egress the plastic container easily. As that plastic container then became my new customized doggy litter box. After I cut out the opening, I then filled the new customized doggy litter box with one inch of pine pellets that I bought at Tractor Supply Company. Pine Pellets are superior to kitty litter to work with because one, it virtually eliminates all odors, two, it is very easy to work with, three, it is good for the environment as it can be used for composting, and four, it is dirt cheap compared to the cost of kitty litter or pee pads. As I bought a 40 pound bag of the stuff at Tractor Supply Company for only $7.50 with tax and that one bag will last most of the year. Thus, after I cut out an access door on my new customized doggy litter box, I butted the door side of it to the side of the doggy crate with the doggy crate door opened. Then I used the other doggy crate door to put the puppy's bed and toys in the doggy crate. As the idea of it was the puppy wouldn't soil its bed and its play area inside the doggy crate and instead, it would go eliminate in the customized doggy litter box butted up to the doggy crate instead. You know what, it worked like a charm. As the puppy would live and play inside the doggy crate and then go eliminate inside the customized doggy litter box I butted up to the doggy crate. As I kept the puppy inside the doggy crate about 75 to 80 percent of the time in the beginning. As I didn't want the puppy to make accidents happen outside of the doggy crate and at the same time, learn bad habits. After three weeks, I began leaving the second door to the doggy crate open and then I closely monitored the puppy to ensure no puppy mistakes happened. But like a champ she would returned to her doggy crate and eliminate inside the customized doggy litter box 100 percent of them time. Therefore, after a week of 100 percent success, I relocated the customized doggy litter box to its permanent location and I closed the door in the dog crate the customized doggy litter box had previously been butted up to permanently. As now I have a perfectly potty trained puppy who never makes puppy mistakes inside my home. As using this method, my puppy literally potty trained herself. As for as the way I handle the management of the customized doggy litter box is any time I see dog poo inside the doggy litter box, I immediately use a litter box scoop to scoop it out and then flush it down the toilet. Then I clean the doggy litter box out once a week and to do that I bought an Arm and Hammer Sifting Cat Litter Box for like $14.99 at Wal-Mart. However, I don't use it as a litter box but only as a cleaning aid. So what I do, is I first make sure there is no poo remaining inside the litter box. Then when there is no poo inside the litter box, I lift up the doggy litter box and empty it contents into the Arm and Hammer sifter. Then I put the litter box back in its permanent location. When pine pellets are used as litter material, when a puppy or a cat, depending on the situation, urinates on it, the pellets disintegrate into saw dust. Thus, I used the Arm and Hammer sifter to sift out all the saw dust into the Arm and Hammer litter box below. When all that remains in the sifter are pine pellets, I empty the sifter back into the doggy liter box. Then I dispose of the saw dust in the Arm and Hammer litter box in the trash, as it doesn't have an odor. Then I replace the used up pine pellets in the doggy litter box with new fresh pine pellets. Usually about one to two scoops will do it. As I have found this method of potty management to be the simplest, most odor free, and by far the cheapest method there is. As with the aid of the Arm and Hammer Sifting Litter Box, I probably spend two to three minutes of my time cleaning out my doggy litter box a week. That's hard to beat. Not to mention that my puppy literally potty trained herself in the span of only one month with absolutely no puppy accidents whatsoever. Who else can say that? Oh yeah, another big advantage of using a doggy litter box is you don't have too worry about if its raining or snowing or if it's too hot or too cold outside, or even worry about taking your dog out periodically to relieve itself. To me, it's a perfect solution. And if you live in a high rise apartment, as opposed to a home, it's the only worthwhile solution, as far as I'm concerned. Oh yeah, if you want to later train your puppy to go outside, you should save some of the sawdust you would normally be discarding in the trash in zip lock bags. Then before you let your puppy out, go dump the contents of a zip lock bag where you preferably want your puppy to eliminate. Then go back inside and bring the puppy out to the designated spot with a leash. Do this repeatedly over the course of a week and pretty soon your dog will be doing his or her business right on cue where you want them to go like a champ.
Bullfrog, this is a great method of potty training! Very simple, no stress, no mistakes, no questions, no fear. BEST WAY to train an animal! It was a lot to type out. Thank you for doing that for us!🎉
@@kristinaringo8490Because it was only temporary to really learn potty training and now he can roam free because he can be trusted. It’s worth it to not have the dog ruining your floors and constantly messing. Short term confinement for long term reward. But you must be one of those people who are okay with your home being disgusting with dog filth so you wouldn’t understand.
My chi was my best friend for nearly 12 years. He died of congestive heart failure a couple weeks ago. I was devastated. Then I found out that 80 % of chias die of this heart disease around age 10 or 11. I tried all the meds to help him but it was too late. He was 8 lbs. So please get your chia checked out if he starts some weird coughing and having a lot of trouble breathing. You shd have health insurance for him bc it can be treated. if I had known about this disease I would have been prepared for it, but no one told me till it was too late. I am very lost without him. Keep yours safe.
Our Rocco also passed from CHF. My condolences. I'm torn between my next chihuahua being a rescue since there's sooo many that needs home, and in getting one genetically tested for heart defects so the chances of congestive heart failure are lower. I also plan to give them fish oil and CoQ10 right away instead of waiting.
I had a Chihuahua. He was very easy to toilet train. Loved people, friendly, playful, they can be trained not to bark so much. He was a purebred Chihuahua, I got him when he was only 8 wks old. As an adult he only weighed 6 lbs. Last year lost my Chi/JRT mix. Now been looking for another teacup Chihuahua, so I can take him or her with me when I travel. Thx for sharing. 👍☺👍
I’ve just bought a chihuahua but it’s not ready for another month since it’s only 3 weeks old I went to see it yesterday, fell in love. Cant wait to meet him.
tip if you've never had a chihuahua before and you're scared to lose it around the house- get it a cat collar with a bell!! then everywhere it goes you'll hear it if you don't see it!!
I recently got a chihuahua puppy and I love her so much! I am struggling with training her though because she is incredibly stubborn! So be warned, they are soo stubborn! I love her so much though
My chihuahuas are 11 years old. They are a handful! Once you put in the time to earn their love and trust they are the sweetest little things. They always tend to bark at people they don’t know without fail lol
All we’ve ever had are chihuahuas and none of them have ever been yappy. Also when our chis are cold but still small we take a long wool sock and cut the toe end off and little holes for the legs. It makes a nice warm coat.
That’s an incredible idea. I’m so tired of spending money on dog clothes for my Chihuahua and half the time he doesn’t like them and wants them off😂however, my newest one is only 8 weeks old at the moment and he HATES being outside in the cold and it’s only 65 degrees here. The one that I was talking about hating clothes was a rescue so I don’t really know how old he actually was but he wouldn’t wear them at ALL!!!
Omgosh me too. I wanted a pom and had actually been involved in mini dachshund rescue for over 15 years at the time. But when i saw this little girl that needed a home i just knew i had to rescue her.
What a wonderful video! I’ve watched it twice and keep backing up to re-watch the parts that feature Chico! What a cutie! We lost our little Shih Tzu Kilo recently and I’ve been researching dog breeds. I’m leaning towards Chihuahua as my Kilo was 5lbs and was a perfect wing man in my daily routine. Your video really sealed the deal! I think what’s truly fascinating is your observation on Yappiness. That’s really been my only concern with the breed. Your probably spot on about it being a learned behavior from their parents. That said, I will absolutely find a reputable breeder locally so I can check out the parents behavior in person. I never would have thought of that! I’ll be hard pressed to find a lil guy as cute and charming as Chico. He’s really set the barre high! Of course I know it’s more about that “special connection” than looks alone- cuteness doesn’t hurt though!
Take your puppy pads close to door that you see when they go take pee, and then go fast outside with them, works pretty well 😊 and take some word outside when they do the thing, say "peepee" or "poopoo" or some like that just when they take action, and praise like "good pee/poo" when finish.. When dog grow, they can pee if you say, when you go dogtor or other places when is good pee before 😊 Sorry my english 😅
number 9 is the reason why i figured a chihuahua would fit me perfectly. i come from a household that has a husky, and let me tell u how much i crave a life with a chihuahua instead😅
The most important thing with Chi hua huas is that you always needs to know exactly where they are, before you sit down. They like to burrow under things ❤
When Chico wee on carpet soak some onto a puppy pad then clean carpet then put smelly pad under a clean one: that was how my 8 month rescue Tigger was potty trained and since I’m in power chair I can’t always get her outside in time. I keep her pad in bathroom as the bathroom is moderately large and out of the way. If someone gets a barky dog try filling a water squirt bottle and give a blast when they bark, just avoid head (bad, even dangerous, for ears and eyes) I stopped Tigger’s barking at every passerby (we live in senior apartment complex) many folks going by either have a dog or think it’s funny to talk to Tigger and rile her up.
He’s such a little cutie! He’s the first one of this Color I’ve ever seen and it’s just beautiful. I got my first one and fell in love. Mine was a rescue & I had only had Great Danes and one Cocker Spaniel, so I had quite the shock! I was afraid I would roll on her and squash her, but somehow it never happened and it’s been ten years and I’m still just as in love as the first day….
My chihuahua is called Angel, because when I got her the Cov 17 ,was going around, I trained her down stairs, I love her to bits and she's spoiled rotten, only thing I was doing great ,and then I caught the Cov 19 ,had to go in hospital, I was very ill, the specialist said I was lucky to pull through it ,I thank God for keeping me alive ,it was awful for Angel not having me there ,we were just getting so close ,.My husband Alex had to care for her ,while I was in hospital, it helped Alex because he was worried about me ,so Angel kept him going ,when I got home ,I was upset, because I left her ,she didn't come near .me for a few days ,but when she did ,it was pure love ,I was still poorly, so we slept down stairs, Angel started to share my yoket, so she enjoyed that ,then she would not leave my side ,I like dresssing her up and hugging her ,she's helped me so much and Alex, couldn't live with out her ,I'm still having difficulty walking, so I have a frame ,Angel comes with me ,but she does not like traffic, the noise of them ,so we don't go to far ,Alex will take us both to the park when he's off work ,she's so cute ,people stop us al the time ,to look at her ,I pray for her to be safe always, that she never gets hurt are taken away from me ,are ever goes hungry are thirsty, and as good health, I thank our almighty God of high for being her into our lifes and for saving me from dieing ,so that I'm always with her untill.god sends for our return to heaven god bless you and cicgo always Amen England Julie x 😇❤
I currently have a 15 year old German shepherd Shepherd mix Fur baby girl but I have been Researching Chihuahuas in interest in getting one for next Fur baby for my future apartment & so I can travel with her& hang out with her after work & go out & about with her. ♥️🐕🦺🐕🐶♥️
So nice to see you video! I have a long coat blue chihuahua boy, and look almost the same as Chico (if my son is a short coat) lolll How long do you walk him per day? Does Chico get tired easily when he's out for walk? And does he prefer to not go out when it's cold outside? These are my questions which I would like to hear your advice. My son hasn't go out for walk yet cuz he's not fully vaccinated. I live in a very very cold town... so I'm a little concerned for taking him out in the winter season. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching! 🥰 When he was younger, I’d walk him for 15 mins a day just because he was so small but now, I walk him anywhere from 15 mins to an hour depending on where we go and he’s fine with that. He definitely prefers to not go out when it’s cold. If it’s really cold, I won’t take him but normally he’s fine as long as he has his coat on ☺️
I’m sure you’ve thought of this already, but for winter toilet time, maybe you could set him up with a litter box so he can go to the bathroom without having to go out in the cold?
Hello, We had our Chihuahua for almost 17 years. We had to put him to sleep. We got him @ the shelter. I have started to look a breeders. What tips can you give me? There’s not a breeder in our area. Did you see the parents before you decided on Chico? So far the closest AKC breeder is over a 13 hr. drive. Chico is So cute! How much do they think he will weigh when he is full grown?
@@allthingschihuahua273 Ha love that this was two years ago! Hi! I didn’t I got a toy poodle instead 🥰 I made a video on it too on my channel if you want to learn the deets! She’s so special
Chihuahuas are the best, I have had a Shepard, a lab, a border collie, and a spaniel over a 70 year period. If you want a constant companion and guard dog a Chi is the one to choose . Need to set up an indoor potty for them . Prepare to give up half your bed as they figure they have to stretch out and brace their back feet against your back 😂😂 Just like a runner in the starting blocks ! They like to be with you 24 hours a day .
Awww i have a Chihuahua also and his name is Chico too and will be six months on the 17th of next ..i got him in December he was month and 2 weeks when i got him.. he's sweet yet SPOIL rotten.... Love him.. his mom is a full Chihuahua and dad is a Dachshund
Hello you talked about chocking I lost my first chi from me giving him some tasty cheese and he chocked to death on us and it broke our hearts so please please be carful xxxx
My baby Luna is a two and half month old apple head Chihuahua and one thing I can say is that they are very smart and fast learner, she learned to get out of my bed and go use the potty on her pads
I have 2 Chihuahuas, and there are times they don't other people coming over. That's probably because they're spoiled rotten.Also,I like ,it sounds like Australian accent.My grandfather's part of our family, lives in London, and I love the accent.
I'm really thinking about getting a long haired merle chihuahua. I can't find a breeder around here, yet I see lots of chihuahuas 🤔 when I see one I'm gonna ask the owner. I can't wait 😭
Loved the video. Im wanting to get a chihuahua for a friend for my maltese x shitzu. My dog is a bit bossy sometimes but she’s very small. Would they be a generally good mix? I want my dogs to be pals
Lovely video Just a thing that isn’t good Pls don’t remove his water bowl They need to have fresh water at al times Walk him before bed time I let mine out at night and some times there still are accidents But I don’t think taking away water is a good thing It can give him health problems later on Love this breed and soon your will learn one is not enough 😍
Also not feeding them for so many hours is not a good idea either. Free feeding is best with wawas, they’re notoriously at risk of going on a hypoglycaemic state. Have some glucose gel ready just in case and leave some kibbles at all times trust me x
As a Mexican why do so many people name chihuahuas Chico 💀😭 But also I’ve seen so many families with young children that live in apartments get chihuahuas. But they are absolutely NOT a good choice for people with small kids. They don’t tolerate mishandling, because you can physically harm them or if they are uncomfortable they’ll make that known.
I am being extremely respectful when say this to you… get yourself a picture of a Tibetan mastiff in attack mode and tack it to your mirror. Then say this is my dog! I have a Chihuahua and I have had him in Obedience classes and even start him on sort of track and field for small dogs. You can do a lot with these little guys. I suggest a back yard too! They can be high energy dogs. This takes a lot of commitment. They are not a dog to take to doggy parks. My little guy is extremely happy since I wrapped my brain around who they really are. I believe chihuahuas are the most misunderstood breed in the world. I believe chihuahuas to be more intelligent than even golden retrievers or b border collies. Their brains need to be occupied. Socializing socialization( twice said is key to a happy Chihuahua. Do not let them bond is heavily to you alone that it spoils the bonds they can form with other members of the family. After owning my own Chihuahua for years I have concluded that they are the best dogs in the world with the right people. Seldom is it with some one who doesn’t respect them. They are a dog. More so than any other breed and want to be dogs. House training is a challenge only because their whole world is getting along in a very large world. My Chihuahua has to get along with a cat my grandchildren( though they are in their early adulthood) go to work with me! And interact with people when they come to my quilt studio. My dog goes outside to the bathroom and at night I have a large cat litter box with pee pads if he needs it. When he goes outside he is never alone and I mean never!(Because of his small size). With good diet and vet care these little guys can live a long time so patiently training them pays big dividends in a very long relationship. Chihuahuas listen to human conversation very intently and being positive when you refer to them gives them confidence. My close,extended family has dogs and cats and on occasion I baby sit them. This is a great opportunity to train my Chihuahua. I say train but really you educate. I never allow my little to be teased or disrespected in my home. The best to you and your little guy and it’s fun to watch your vids on the two of you from excited I’m getting a puppy to let me drag out the cleaners once again! Love your girl!
I’m gonna get myself another chihuahua dog again but this time I am going to get myself a little guy and name him Frogo from the movie Lord of the Rings.
I don't know why you'd want a Pomeranian. All that hair! Imagine keeping them cool in the summer. It's much easier to keep a Chihuahua warm. Out of curiosity : does he shed?
"if it's snowing it's probably better to not walk them"... I don't think it will work if someone live in flat 😅but I understand you, quick walk if needed in a clothes and home. And about rats- rats are super clever too, I like to take this like a compliment for them
Hey me and my wife had two baby chulwawas and just a thought for you was that male breed looses their teeth faster than females soft food is actually worse than harder food just watch that Chico beautiful
You have a pup chihuahua, and he wees on the mat, and you don't know why. 1. He is a baby, and babies have accidents. 2. He is a dog, and all males mark their territory. That is how they do that! It's not like he did it on purpose!
Me watching this 2 years into having a chihuahua, just out of sheer curiosity 😂
how do you love your chihuahua? I want one soooooo bad. I will die happy knowing I had a chihuahua at least once in my life :)))
Same, lol…I’ve had chihuahuas for nineteen years….my first reaction?….🤦♀️
Same mine has 8 months and i just watch this because i'm curious 😂
I have a 5 year old chihuahua and a 5 year old Chinese crested/chihuahua ❤
You aren’t supposed to tell them off when they poo , wee in the house
My little chocolate tri boy will be 2 next year & he’s still tiny- 1.8kg! Best dog I’ve ever been dad to. Very accurate video. Chihuahuas have the biggest personalities & the biggest hearts
Can you recommend your breeder?

Did u get him

Big dogs don't like little dogs, do you still have hin?
@@MarJo333depends on the breed and if they previously have been exposed to smaller dogs, our malamute gets along with 3 chihuahuas just fine

Take your puppy pads close to door that you see when they go take pee, and then go fast outside with them, works pretty well 😊 and take some word outside when they do the thing, say "peepee" or "poopoo" or some like that just when they take action, and praise like "good pee/poo" when finish.. When dog grow, they can pee if you say, when you go dogtor or other places when is good pee before 😊
Sorry my english 😅
Same…mine didn’t use the puppy pads (a waste)…and she doesn’t drink worry! So glad she wasn’t the only one.
Great video! I’m picking one up in a few days. This was very helpful.
number 9 is the reason why i figured a chihuahua would fit me perfectly. i come from a household that has a husky, and let me tell u how much i crave a life with a chihuahua instead😅
Cheat Code is so cute!! I love his fur 🙂
The most important thing with Chi hua huas is that you always needs to know exactly where they are, before you sit down. They like to burrow under things ❤
When Chico wee on carpet soak some onto a puppy pad then clean carpet then put smelly pad under a clean one: that was how my 8 month rescue Tigger was potty trained and since I’m in power chair I can’t always get her outside in time. I keep her pad in bathroom as the bathroom is moderately large and out of the way.
If someone gets a barky dog try filling a water squirt bottle and give a blast when they bark, just avoid head (bad, even dangerous, for ears and eyes) I stopped Tigger’s barking at every passerby (we live in senior apartment complex) many folks going by either have a dog or think it’s funny to talk to Tigger and rile her up.
Tigger is my puppy’s name too
I love 💕 it when you’re puppy pops up in your blogs with you he is so cute....
I my daughter has a chihuahua too she got it on Christmas Day and she loves it so much
I have a long haired deer head chihuahua. She's 4 months old and crazy ❤😂
You have to start out with clothes at a really early age our dogs loved to go for walks the only thing I made a mistake was not crate training them
This was so helpful, thank you!
I'm getting a chiuahaha x jack Russel in three week!! Agh after having big dogs all my life I'm nervous! Can't wait
He’s such a little cutie! He’s the first one of this Color I’ve ever seen and it’s just beautiful. I got my first one and fell in love. Mine was a rescue & I had only had Great Danes and one Cocker Spaniel, so I had quite the shock! I was afraid I would roll on her and squash her, but somehow it never happened and it’s been ten years and I’m still just as in love as the first day….
Can we have another puppy vlog!! i love the cuteness sooo much!
I love my chihuahuas 🐶🐶💓💓💓💓🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
My chihuahua is called Angel, because when I got her the Cov 17 ,was going around, I trained her down stairs, I love her to bits and she's spoiled rotten, only thing I was doing great ,and then I caught the Cov 19 ,had to go in hospital, I was very ill, the specialist said I was lucky to pull through it ,I thank God for keeping me alive ,it was awful for Angel not having me there ,we were just getting so close ,.My husband Alex had to care for her ,while I was in hospital, it helped Alex because he was worried about me ,so Angel kept him going ,when I got home ,I was upset, because I left her ,she didn't come near .me for a few days ,but when she did ,it was pure love ,I was still poorly, so we slept down stairs, Angel started to share my yoket, so she enjoyed that ,then she would not leave my side ,I like dresssing her up and hugging her ,she's helped me so much and Alex, couldn't live with out her ,I'm still having difficulty walking, so I have a frame ,Angel comes with me ,but she does not like traffic, the noise of them ,so we don't go to far ,Alex will take us both to the park when he's off work ,she's so cute ,people stop us al the time ,to look at her ,I pray for her to be safe always, that she never gets hurt are taken away from me ,are ever goes hungry are thirsty, and as good health, I thank our almighty God of high for being her into our lifes and for saving me from dieing ,so that I'm always with her untill.god sends for our return to heaven god bless you and cicgo always Amen England Julie x 😇❤
Last comment- I would love to see some shorts of your chihuahua from pup to now!
I currently have a 15 year old German shepherd Shepherd mix Fur baby girl but I have been Researching Chihuahuas in interest in getting one for next Fur baby for my future apartment & so I can travel with her& hang out with her after work & go out & about with her. ♥️🐕🦺🐕🐶♥️
Or High contact Chihuahua mix. 😉🐶🐕♥️
So nice to see you video! I have a long coat blue chihuahua boy, and look almost the same as Chico (if my son is a short coat) lolll How long do you walk him per day? Does Chico get tired easily when he's out for walk? And does he prefer to not go out when it's cold outside? These are my questions which I would like to hear your advice. My son hasn't go out for walk yet cuz he's not fully vaccinated. I live in a very very cold town... so I'm a little concerned for taking him out in the winter season. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching! 🥰 When he was younger, I’d walk him for 15 mins a day just because he was so small but now, I walk him anywhere from 15 mins to an hour depending on where we go and he’s fine with that. He definitely prefers to not go out when it’s cold. If it’s really cold, I won’t take him but normally he’s fine as long as he has his coat on ☺️
If its really cold and icy, I'd even get him shoes as well. The salt on the ground can burn his little feet!
I’m sure you’ve thought of this already, but for winter toilet time, maybe you could set him up with a litter box so he can go to the bathroom without having to go out in the cold?
Hello, We had our Chihuahua for almost 17 years. We had to put him to sleep. We got him @ the shelter. I have started to look a breeders. What tips can you give me? There’s not a breeder in our area. Did you see the parents before you decided on Chico? So far the closest AKC breeder is over a 13 hr. drive. Chico is So cute! How much do they think he will weigh when he is full grown?
Hi love! New sub here, just found your channel and loved this video!! I am thinking of getting a chihuahua this year so thanks for the advice ❤
Did you ever get one?
@@allthingschihuahua273 Ha love that this was two years ago! Hi! I didn’t I got a toy poodle instead 🥰 I made a video on it too on my channel if you want to learn the deets! She’s so special
@@talkdeepwithg I'd love to! I like toy poodles too. :)
Chihuahuas are the best, I have had a Shepard, a lab, a border collie, and a spaniel over a 70 year period. If you want a constant companion and guard dog a Chi is the one to choose . Need to set up an indoor potty for them . Prepare to give up half your bed as they figure they have to stretch out and brace their back feet against your back 😂😂 Just like a runner in the starting blocks ! They like to be with you 24 hours a day .
I have a 5 lb Chihuahua I love you for being a dog lover👍😁❤️🐕
i think it’s a universal experience to think the mum is the puppy. i have gotten 3 and still everytime it fools me😂
Seriously considering this breed after years of owning cockers
They’re super loyal and sweet when introduced to many people
Awww i have a Chihuahua also and his name is Chico too and will be six months on the 17th of next ..i got him in December he was month and 2 weeks when i got him.. he's sweet yet SPOIL rotten.... Love him.. his mom is a full Chihuahua and dad is a Dachshund
Your dogs breed mix is called Chiweenie.
Awww My daughter is 15 and getting chiweenie in 3 weeks
I was wondering are you a veterinarian or breeder of this type of dog or are you going off your opinion?
So adorable!!!❤
Can you advise how to find a breeder of extra small chi's like yours? And how did you go about to find your puppy?
Hi Cally. I'm think of getting a Chiuiahua puppy. Loved your tips on you please do on update on him please.
He is gorgeous❤
Hello you talked about chocking I lost my first chi from me giving him some tasty cheese and he chocked to death on us and it broke our hearts so please please be carful xxxx
I loved your video. It was so honest. Thanks so much. Getting our little Fin in a couple of weeks. That was very helpful ❤️
My baby Luna is a two and half month old apple head Chihuahua and one thing I can say is that they are very smart and fast learner, she learned to get out of my bed and go use the potty on her pads
Yes my Raphael is a quick learner. We have no pee pad problems at all! I heard all these horror stories and nothing but hits the spot each time!
Hi I am new here you’re dog is so adorable 🥰
I have 2 Chihuahuas, and there are times they don't other people coming over. That's probably because they're spoiled rotten.Also,I like ,it sounds like Australian accent.My grandfather's part of our family, lives in London, and I love the accent.
I'm really thinking about getting a long haired merle chihuahua. I can't find a breeder around here, yet I see lots of chihuahuas 🤔 when I see one I'm gonna ask the owner. I can't wait 😭
You’re a very, very beautiful young lady and you have a very sweet little puppy. May God bless you both.
He is a cute teacup chihuahua mine is a chihuahua/pug and he is 21 and sassy is a teacup chihuahua mixed we
Yes true people have said my chi is like a rat but they don't know my dog like I do she is so smart and food motivated people just be hating 🤦🏻♀️
Loved the video. Im wanting to get a chihuahua for a friend for my maltese x shitzu. My dog is a bit bossy sometimes but she’s very small. Would they be a generally good mix? I want my dogs to be pals
Lovely video
Just a thing that isn’t good Pls don’t remove his water bowl
They need to have fresh water at al times
Walk him before bed time
I let mine out at night and some times there still are accidents But I don’t think taking away water is a good thing
It can give him health problems later on
Love this breed and soon your will learn one is not enough 😍
Also not feeding them for so many hours is not a good idea either. Free feeding is best with wawas, they’re notoriously at risk of going on a hypoglycaemic state. Have some glucose gel ready just in case and leave some kibbles at all times trust me x
As a Mexican why do so many people name chihuahuas Chico 💀😭
But also I’ve seen so many families with young children that live in apartments get chihuahuas. But they are absolutely NOT a good choice for people with small kids. They don’t tolerate mishandling, because you can physically harm them or if they are uncomfortable they’ll make that known.
How are they on their own most of the day? Separation anxiety?
I crate trained Chico so he doesn’t have separation anxiety and can be left alone so I’d definitely recommend that
@@CallyBrooks Thank you so much!
Hi Cally, I am looking for a chihuahua and may I know where and how did you got Chico? I prefer to get mine with a breeder instead of a pet shop.
does she just spray the wee with stain remover? You need to remove the urine first as well as you can.
I am being extremely respectful when say this to you… get yourself a picture of a Tibetan mastiff in attack mode and tack it to your mirror. Then say this is my dog! I have a Chihuahua and I have had him in Obedience classes and even start him on sort of track and field for small dogs. You can do a lot with these little guys. I suggest a back yard too! They can be high energy dogs. This takes a lot of commitment. They are not a dog to take to doggy parks. My little guy is extremely happy since I wrapped my brain around who they really are. I believe chihuahuas are the most misunderstood breed in the world. I believe chihuahuas to be more intelligent than even golden retrievers or b border collies. Their brains need to be occupied. Socializing socialization( twice said is key to a happy Chihuahua. Do not let them bond is heavily to you alone that it spoils the bonds they can form with other members of the family. After owning my own Chihuahua for years I have concluded that they are the best dogs in the world with the right people. Seldom is it with some one who doesn’t respect them. They are a dog. More so than any other breed and want to be dogs. House training is a challenge only because their whole world is getting along in a very large world. My Chihuahua has to get along with a cat my grandchildren( though they are in their early adulthood) go to work with me! And interact with people when they come to my quilt studio. My dog goes outside to the bathroom and at night I have a large cat litter box with pee pads if he needs it. When he goes outside he is never alone and I mean never!(Because of his small size). With good diet and vet care these little guys can live a long time so patiently training them pays big dividends in a very long relationship. Chihuahuas listen to human conversation very intently and being positive when you refer to them gives them confidence. My close,extended family has dogs and cats and on occasion I baby sit them. This is a great opportunity to train my Chihuahua. I say train but really you educate. I never allow my little to be teased or disrespected in my home. The best to you and your little guy and it’s fun to watch your vids on the two of you from excited I’m getting a puppy to let me drag out the cleaners once again! Love your girl!
He is soo beautiful 🥰
Chico - 'It seemed like a good idea at the time.'
How old is this puppy?
No longer a puppy - he’s nearly 3!
Someone tell her to start the contour at the bridge of your nose
I was seriously so distracted by that
He is soooo cuteeeee but maybe don’t feed him cheese because I think it’s bad for them
Makes them fat. My Pomeranian got pancreatitis so no more cheese for her!
True no cheese no dairy products at all it can be very harmful too them any breed it causes stomach issues and other things
How to be sure to have a small chihuahua like yours as some are too big I think . Thanks
He is like" ok why are we talking to that object are you ok sweetie"
Wait girl I have a Chihuahua and his name is Chico. She’s so cute. He’s a Chihuahua. I know he’s eating my shoes chicken now.
I have a one chihuahua and her name is sara she is 3 yaers old
I’m gonna get myself another chihuahua dog again but this time I am going to get myself a little guy and name him Frogo from the movie Lord of the Rings.
Show Chico more in your video it will keep us dogs lovers more engage.
I was very happy when you were holding him and then lost interest. 🐶🐾🥰
I can’t get him to sit still for a video for half an hour + .. he’s a puppy he wants to play
I don't know why you'd want a Pomeranian. All that hair! Imagine keeping them cool in the summer. It's much easier to keep a Chihuahua warm. Out of curiosity : does he shed?
You didn't mention the compulsive licking.
Cute cute cute little chihuahua
Where did you get your Chihuahua?
I want to get a pet, especially a chihuahua but i have divorced parents that doesent want to take care of dogs so its tricky 😵
3:57 sounds like something I would say,
"if it's snowing it's probably better to not walk them"... I don't think it will work if someone live in flat 😅but I understand you, quick walk if needed in a clothes and home. And about rats- rats are super clever too, I like to take this like a compliment for them
You should get him a stroller!
I should! 🤣
I have one for my pom. It’s great to take her in stores or when it’s too hot outside.
Hey me and my wife had two baby chulwawas and just a thought for you was that male breed looses their teeth faster than females soft food is actually worse than harder food just watch that Chico beautiful
Don’t tell them off when they potty because then they start hiding it and going in secret places 🥲😅
my 9 week old screams the house down when i put him in his bed at night.
Sooooooo cute♥️♥️♥️♥️🥺
russian lines are double the size smaller
is he kc registed
Yes he is 😊
I can hold mine in one hand.
My neighbor was walking his tiny Yorky. A large dog grabbed the Yorky & mauled her to death.
Oh that’s horrible!! 💔
was it a pit bull?
If a Chi 'pees all over the rug' - you must have a tiny tiny rug.
You have a pup chihuahua, and he wees on the mat, and you don't know why. 1. He is a baby, and babies have accidents. 2. He is a dog, and all males mark their territory. That is how they do that! It's not like he did it on purpose!
One may get puppy pads because the little dogs should not be outside on the ground unless fully vaccinated
But dry kibble is good for their teeth :/
You can get them treats for that
Why is her pet not potty trained?
Hi
Soon as he pees, you need to take him outside he needs to obviously go to the washroom
Is he an apple head? 😊
Yes he is! X
very helpful👍
hello Cally i like a lot your chanel i,m from Tarragona in Catalunya i would like had some day a chihuahua thanks:Ana
