Breed Group: | Toy |
Weight (lbs): | 6 |
Height (in): | 6-9 |
Colors: | Any. |
Coat: | Smooth with soft, glossy hair or long with soft straight or wavy coat and fringed ears. |
Character: | Chihuahuas are very intelligent little dogs that are much more brave than their small size suggests. They often bond with only one person. |
Temperament: | This breed usually lives with other dogs and cats very easily. Children should be taught how to play with this small dog as many try to treat it as a toy. |
Care: | The Chihuahua requires occasional grooming with a brush and comb. Trim claws and check teeth on a regular basis. Care of the long coat entails brushing 2 to 3 times a week. |
Training: | This breed is eager to learn, so don't let the small size deter you from properly training him. |
Activity: | Chihuahuas can typically get sufficient exercise by playing indoors. |
Country of Origin: | Mexico |
