Description
Dog Breed: Chihuahua / Terrier. Meet Mikey, the 'cat-dog' you never knew you needed! Mikey is a spunky, independent little guy who fully embraces life on his own terms. Often described as a 'cat-dog,' he's got that classic mix of curiosity, playfulness, and a touch of stubbornness, but it just adds to his undeniable charm. While Mikey enjoys his independence, he's not all business; he'll happily join you for a cozy cuddle session when the mood strikes. His favorite pastime? Channeling his inner feline. Mikey is all about the chase; he'll stalk, pounce, and bat at his toys. It's equal parts adorable and hilarious; you'll quickly find yourself watching like it's live entertainment. Mikey is searching for a calm, low-key home where he can truly relax. He'd do best in a quiet household without children, and he prefers a lifestyle without frequent visitors or loud gatherings. He enjoys peaceful, quiet walks where he can explore the world at his own pace. Mikey's a stubborn little character, but in the most lovable way, and he'll thrive with someone who understands and respects his need for space while still appreciating his playful and affectionate side. If Mikey sounds like your perfect match, please call (831) 708-5842 and leave a voicemail to learn more about him and schedule an appointment to meet him!

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.
