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!

This is our Dukie four years ago. We’d had him two months by this time. This is how I found Dukie and his new brother Eddie laying when I came in the room. Look at Dukie’s Lil leg chillin’ in Eddie’s leg
