    I recently found a young longhaired chi. On a dangerous road. Unfortunately his owner didn't want him since his name and number were on his collar. I called and texted him repeatedly. So I kept him.....he is a love!!! Sweet, smart and so loyal. I've had dogs for decades but never had a chi. I'm so grateful to have found him. ❤❤❤

    ​@@robinlooney5440 I am so happy to hear you kept him, and I bet he's very happy too. His previous owner didn't deserve him, and was obviously a vile human being who deserves to die alone. (Like most decent animal owners, I cant abide people abandoning a helpless pet, and I really, really hope karma catches up with them)

    I fostered a Chihuahua and he was the most adorable and affectionate dog I've ever encountered. I had PTSD and would wake up at 3am and he'd run over and paw and lick me to make sure I was ok. Broke my heart when he left! Going to buy a Chihuahua puppy soon.

    We have this absolutely adorable Reindeer Chihuahua named Lilpup. She was a rescue and someone had not obviously fed her properly and she required fattening her up. According to what I've seen we're still not quite feeding her right yet. Unfortunately she's got a rather serious dental problem and has a rather painful abcess happening and we just don't have the cash to fix her. When she screeches from the pain my heart breaks! I now know they can have dental issues and we'll have to try and fix her ASAP. I notice that she tends to duck when you try and pet her on her head and now I know why, her skull is in two pieces with soft tissue between and I will work to gently pet our sweetie who is just trying to prevent her owners from getting carried away. We call her Beanie Boo because those absolutely cute eyes, (especially when she's standing there trying to get a bite when we're eating), makes your heart melt. She always gets the bite of course! I notice that she can be very stand offish and wants to come to you, not the other way around. Quite cat like! Thanks for letting me know more about her personality and I will modify my behavior appropriately as I love dearly our cute Beanie-Boo and want her to be as happy as she can be!

    By getting them to put their toys away and then rewarding them by petting, tickles or kisses, you are giving your pooch everything they need. Chihuahuas love to have your time and attention, so this game is ideal for them. They seek your approval and love; constantly and quite simply, they want your companionship.

    I have a 6-lb., 12-year-old chihuahua. I adopted a six-week-old puppy, and she's 2-1/2 years old. When they spot a dog outside our neighborhood, my puppy goes bonkers and attacks my older dog. I'm at a loss as to how to break her from this nasty habit. Anyone ever experienced this issue and learned a way to break her from this habit?

    Dogs in the same household can become aggressive toward each other for a variety of different reasons. Aggression may be dominance-related, territorial, possessive, or caused by fear/anxiety. Some dogs have “alliance aggression”.

    My advice for Chihuahua and other small breed dog owners is to litter train your pet, as opposed to training them to go outside. As it is very easy and much faster to litter train your pet. Other advantages to litter training your pet is your pet never needs to go outside. Thus, there is no need to give your pet poisonous flea and tick products or heart worm medication. You also don't have to worry about your small pet being attacked by a larger and more powerful animal. You don't have to worry about leaving your pet alone for extended periods of time. You won't have to worry about setting aside the time it takes to take your pet outside to eliminate. Lastly, you won't have to worry about the weather. If it is snowing, sleeting, raining, too cold, or it being too hot. All of those concerns are eliminated when you litter train your Chihuahua or small breed dog. Moreover, I recommend the litter material be pine pellets which you can purchase at Tractor Supply Company for $7.50 per forty pound bag including tax. As you will use about three bags a year. Why pine pellets? Because it eliminates virtually all odors and I recommend flushing all solids down the toilet as soon as you see them. I constructed a litter box from a 24 x 18 inch plastic container with 15 in high sides that I purchased from Walmart for about $13 dollars and some change. I then cut out an opening on one side of the container big enough so my Chihuahua can enter and egress it easily at will. Then once I did that, I added a one inch layer of pine pellets to the floor of my new litter box. Next, I pushed the opening side of the new litter box to the opening side of the 24 x 18 dog crate I also purchased and budded them together. In the doggy crate I put a pet bed, blanket, some toys, and a dog water bowl and a food bowl. The idea was my pet would live, sleep, and play in his new doggy crate and then eliminate in the litter box. You know what, it worked perfectly. As in a matter of three weeks, my Chihuahua puppy completely trained herself to always use a litter box to eliminate. Oh yeah, I also purchased a sifting litter box that I use strictly for cleaning my doggy litter box in which I do every seven days .When pine pellets are urinated on, they disintegrate into saw dust. Thus, once a week I poor the contents of my doggy litter box into the sifter and then sift the sawdust that was generated into the litter box below the sifter. When all that remains in the sifter are only pine pellets, I then empty those still good pine pellets back into my doggy litter box and add a couple of scoops of fresh pine pellets to replenish the used pine pellets. Lastly, I dispose of the sawdust in the trash, as it is odor free.
