| Breeds by Trait | Good With Kids |
| Overview: | The Chihuahua is a tiny bundle of joy. Kids love him ' and for good reason. This breed seems always excited about something. They do best as an indoor dog, but they love to scamper around in the yard ' in suitable weather. |
| 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 |
| Health Issue: | This breed has a short nose and large eyes, which can cause some problems (e.g., wheezing, dry eye, glaucoma). They are prone to slipped stifle, gum problems, colds, stress, and rheumatism. |
| Life Expectancy: | about 15 or more |
