The Chihuahua as a Pet

Chihuahuas are one of the best pets to have. This is simply because dog is man’s best friend. This being said, the Chihuahua is one of the best companion dogs due to their characteristics and personality traits. They come in various shapes, sizes, and tempers. Choosing the one that fits into your family should not be hard to do if you know exactly what you’re looking for. Whoever said that Chihuahuas do not mix well with children is not on the right page. A Chihuahua can love a child just as much as it loves the adults in the household. The children just have to be taught on how to handle a Chihuahua since their frames are small.

They are timid animals, and can be spooked easily. Most are weary of strangers; they may even bark at them then run away in fear and uncertainty. Usually a Chihuahua will attach to one person, or even just a couple. Depending on the Chihuahua, they might like a whole array of people. Different temperaments and personalities choose the Chihuahua. Training your Chihuahua to like other people can be done as well if you socialize them well. They might not be as attached to the other people as they might be to you or your family, but they will be less afraid when you have visitors.

There is so much that you can learn about the wonderful, little breed that you might want to research them well before choosing to have one as a family pet. In my home, there are four cuddly little Chi’s running around. Some say they are the rulers of the house, some choose to rule over them, but here we live among them. Loyal and caring they are always there when we need them. This can be a great pet for any family no matter size. Find out more about this breed as you continue.
