About Chihuahua Dogs
by: Joanell Hutchinson
Chihuahua Dogs Are Not For Everyone
In what seems like a very tiny dog, a personality the size of
a Great Dane emerges. For some Chihuahua lovers it’s just
another Chi, and others are just learning about this little entertainer.
Whether you have had your Chihuahua for several years or you have
just taken your very first Chi home, they will be full of surprises
that will keep you amused as long as they live. Since Chihuahuas
are known to be the longest living dog, he/she will be amusing
you for many years to come. There life expectancy is 15 years
and they sometimes live into their early twenties.
However, Chihuahuas are not a good breed of choice for everyone.
While there are always exceptions, Chihuahua dogs are typically
possessive and protective. They tend to be a one person dog. Chihuahuas
are not usually patient around children who don’t understand
just how fragile they are. Yes, even though they are confident,
courageous, fearless, and tough, they are also prone to injuries
due to their size. The Chihuahua can be seriously injured or even
killed if accidentally stepped on or sat on.
Chihuahuas are dogs that clan. They recognize and accept their
own breed but don’t like other breeds of dogs. Chihuahuas
have been known to attack other much larger dogs It is your responsibility,
as an owner, to keep this from happening. A friend of mine lost
her dog when another much larger dog attacked him for no apparent
reason. Her dog was on a leash walking from her apartment to her
car when this took place. She was unaware of the other dog being
nearby. We all know our Chihuahuas are much like our children
so keep a protective eye on him/her and be aware of what is around
you if your Chi is not in your arms or a carrier.

About The Author
Joanell is an average Chihuahua dog lover who wants to be sure
you are choosing a Chihuahua because this is the right dog for
you and not just because they’re cute. When there is publicity
about a dog such as the Taco Bell Chihuahua or 101 Dalmatians,
thousands of people flock to get one and then find that it isn’t
the dog they thought they were getting. Due to this, thousands
of dogs are abandoned by there owners and many never find another
home and have to be put down. Do the right thing and read up on
the dog you are thinking about getting so that you know what to
expect when you bring them home. You and the dog will have a much
happier relationship if you do.
