Oh Chihuahuas… the smallest breed of dog named for the state of Chihuahua in Mexico, that has become one of the most popular of all dog breeds in the United States (and among celebrities)…
Is it because of being the world's smallest dog yet having the world's biggest personality stashed inside that tiny body? That larger-than-life persona that makes him appealing to men and women alike? or all of the above?
Fun and busy, Chihuahuas like nothing better than to be close to their people. They follow them everywhere in the house and ride along in tote bags when their people run errands or go shopping.
It's not unusual for Chihuahuas to form a close bond with a single person, and they can become very demanding if they're overindulged.
But as popular as they’ve become, you might be shocked to know that they are the worst dogs to live with… and there are 19 reasons for it.
Check out the 19 reasons why Chihuahuas are the worst dogs to live with on the next page:

We found him in a pet shop in Iraq he was starving to death, had to buy him to save him, all they knew was he is 3 year old pure breed, horrific conditions, no animal rights in middle east

But I have two and they are my best friends. They are like my children and I honestly never thought I could possibly love something that barks so much or goes potty on the carpet so often but they know that they have my heart. Lol

However, they are a very expensive dog to keep healthy. My littlest one Sunny, had so many accidents her first year that I’m truly surprised she now almost 8 and still alive but she calmed down alot after she turned about 2. My other one is a long haired rescue Chihuahua and she’s such a well behaved, good girl. That’s why we tend to over spoil her by giving her treats like Greenies because she loves them so much, but she’s now only allowed one a day because she began gaining way too much weight. Lol
