With its big eyes, big ears, and bigger-than-life attitude, the Chihuahua is the epitome of cocky canine in a petite package.
This pint-sized pooch is master of his universe and fears nothing, characteristics that make him a most suitable pet for some people and the worst possible choice for others.
But a sudden spurt of popularity as the Taco Bell dog has brought notoriety, and demand for the tough and intelligent dogs has increased.
In lots of ways, bringing a new Chihuahua pup to your home is a lot like bringing home a newborn human baby.
If you are bringing a Chihuahua home, you will want to know what to expect as far as behavior how this dog will interact with you.
Check out the twelve realities new chihuahua owners must accept on the next page… and see if you can relate!

I love all of them except # 12. Toddlers & chihuahuas do not mix well! This I know from much experience. A child should be at least 6 years old…then they can be best buddies.

My sweet little Chiquita and i are best friends. I would be lost without her. This is how we nap. After bunches of kisses. She will come put her little head to my lips and move it where she wants her kisses. So sweet

My Tippy, who was 17, passed in February while I was in the hospital having heart surgery. My daughter and son took care of burying her in the fur baby plot behind our home.

I never considered a chihuahua, ever. But space dictated a small dog and along came this fella. So glad I had him, best decision I’ve ever taken. Wouldn’t be without him now.
