Description
Dog Breed: Chihuahua / Dachshund (short coat). Meet our tiny treasure This little girl is about 2 years old and only 10 pounds, but she has a big personality waiting to bloom. When she first arrives in a new home, she is scared and unsure. For the first few days, she will likely hide and may try to bite if pushed, so she needs a very patient, understanding adopter who will let her set the pace. Here’s the magic part ✨ — give her about 72 hours of space, calm, and consistency, and she completely transforms into a fun, playful, fabulous little dog. Once she feels safe, her true personality shines and she becomes an absolute joy. She would do best in a home with another small, friendly dog, as she loves other dogs and gains confidence by following their lead. A quiet home with adopters who understand shy dogs and are willing to let trust build naturally is exactly what she needs. If you believe love, patience, and kindness can change a life — she is waiting for you For a complete list of our pets and photos please visit our website fochp

Overview:
The Chihuahua, a captivating breed known for its diminutive size, boasts an ancient and somewhat mysterious origin, with most theories pointing to Mexico as its birthplace, potentially descending from the "Techichi," a small companion dog of the Toltec civilization. Physically, they are easily recognizable by their small, compact bodies, large expressive eyes, and erect ears, appearing in both smooth and long-coated varieties, showcasing a vast array of colors and markings. Despite their tiny stature, Chihuahuas possess a big personality; they are often described as spirited, alert, and fiercely loyal to their owners, sometimes displaying a bold and confident demeanor. While their small size makes them exceptionally well-suited for apartment living, they thrive in homes where they receive ample attention and mental stimulation. They can be good family pets for older children who understand how to interact gently with a small dog, but their delicate build makes them less suitable for boisterous toddlers. Regarding health, Chihuahuas can be prone to certain conditions like patellar luxation, heart problems, and dental issues, making regular veterinary check-ups crucial for their well-being.
