That's why I'm about to adopt another rescue because they give so much of themselves and ask for nothing in return.

I have a chihuahua who is a rescue. He has been treated very poorly from his previous owner. He was thrown, kicked and hit. When he was at the rescue he was very withdrawn and overweight due to not being walked etc. He was there for 7months. They were considering putting him down. But they let me meet him. And the rest is history. He is my absolute best friend. The rescue was shocked that monty picked me or even came to me when I met him because they saw him as I'd have to pick him situation. But that wasn't the case. I had three weeks off from work with annual leave and I think it was the best thing I've ever done as within three weeks I was able to bond with him, and he bonded hard. I also was able to start taking him for walks, he didn't know what a leash was or treats etc but within a day or two walking on a leash was accomplished. All he wants is to be happy and make me happy. He walks 2.9km now and is 3.5kg down from 4.5kg.

lived with many different breeds over the years but Chihuahuas are the only ones that will only come to you if THEY decide it's worth the effort.. most dogs if you click yr tongue and/or call them by name will come to you straight away,glad to be offered attention of any sort. do same with a chihuahua and you'll be lucky if they even look your way...and feel pitiful gratitude if they bother to head towards you.. basically they are canine cats.. but without the potential for unexpected violence.

My chihuaha is low maintenance, she needs structure and regularity and can be alone for more than half a day. She knows we always come back. She has an inside (puppy mat) toilet and an outside toilet for her to choose, no work there. Her teeth, a common problem with small dogs are perfect without brushing, because she only gets good meat and some no carb no sugar treats. I think the food pellets with the the rice and other carbs in it cause tooth decay in dogs. Try it, she likes whole food and it is cheaper than the veterinarian. High energy is just 10% of the day. She sleeps and relaxes in our lazy boy and wants to be close to us. She needs a quiet, predictable loving environment with TLC, thats all.

Thanks for the tip because my dog in the picture died from oral cancer. I'm still not fully over that experience which lasted about a year and took a lot out of me because I gave him around the clock bedside service and had a vet come to my home when it was time to let him go which he died in my arms in my easy chair we used to share. He was a Bichon and was soooo loyal to me until words cannot describe how close we were. I also adopted another Bichon but I lost her within 9 months due to chronic kidney disease a month ago. My heart is broken and crushed because she was my special little angel girl and no one can ever take her place in my heart. But I have enough love to share once again. I wasn't going to adopt again and just live with my cat but I'm 69 years old now and decided I want to die happy so hopefully now I'm about to give 50 per cent of my love to a Chihuahua and 50 per cent to my resident cat who I love the ground my cat walks on. I'm sure they'll be quite a pair. 😊❤❤❤

I’ve had a boxer/rotweiler mix, pit bull, a mutt, dachshund/basset hound mix and a chi. I’ll never get a diff breed than chihuahua ever again lol. Dont get me wrong I loved other breeds as well but not nearly as much as chihuahuas. My 14 year old long haired fawn chi just passed about 2 months ago.

I have a help question: In September we rescued what was to be a 2 yo chihuahua (sight unseen). Turned out to be a chihuahua/min pin mix). No problem. By the next day, he was warming right up. The vet said he was like a totally different dog between his first and second visits a month apart. Our problem is we have a pomeranian, also a male, about 7 to. Outside they play together, sit together on their doggy deck, etc., with no problems. Inside the pomeranian gets upset when we throw toys for the chihuahua or if he feels like his space is interfered. The pomeranian has ABSOLUTELY no desire to play with toys. Never has regardless of type or size including those dispensing treats. Show him a toy and he ABSOLUTELY turns his head away and will actually move out of the way. The chihuahua does all he can to avoid problems. Doesn't stare at the pomeranian. Turns his back,cetc. The dogs were introduced on neutral ground. Both are fixed. Both are given the same amount as "ME TIME ". Not just alone but scratched/rubbed on our opposite sides. Or my wife brushes one as I do the other. Then we change dogs and continue. Regardless of what we do, there are usually, at least 2 battles daily. The worst time is throwing the toys. But, the chihuahua likes being under s blanket. The pomeranian on top. There are multiple blankets in different locations. Yet, the battle will be the same blanket. We had hoped after 5 months the kinks would have worked out by now. No way will we give up either furry family member. Both are here to stay. The vet says they will have to figure it out on their own. I am just looking for the same peace shared outside to be shared inside. Any ideas? Thanks.

The first issue is the Pomeranian is having territorial instinct inside the house and trying grab all your attention. For that, the only thing we suggest is to train them for socializing. The time they fight take both of them in different rooms and wait for them to calm. when they calm down, bring them back in one space and let them play. if they battle over blanket, do the same. And about the toys, you can only associate them with treat. Train them with treats to play with toys.

Curious, dog food with at least 30% protein? Lost my father last August & my mother last December. I'm taking care of mom's 6 little ones now. They absolutely love me 😉. I believe they're what's called pear head Chihuahuas. Maybe a mix between the apple & dear head? Rescued from a breeder that had a stroke. I use pedigree crunchy kibble & tender bites (chicken & steak) for small dogs. Says 21% crude protein (min). Says it has salt but not how much. I also use Beneful IncrediBites (tiny cans) just for small dogs. Says 11% crude protein (min). Couldn't exactly find salt or sodium but seen sodium selenite which I just read could be toxic to animals. Even seeing meat meal should be avoided. Guess with all the companies out there making foods to poison us on the regular, what would be an ideal dogfood that's on the market? Thinking about simply going back to homemade chicken and rice lol. Perhaps with some diced carrots & maybe pumpkin or something. & For the record, I know rice is a heavy starch so I always rinse it several times yet notice a lot of dogfood has rice involved.

I think they're enamored with the size of the kibble since it's perfect for their jaw. I've also tried the Royal Canin Starter wet food and their Mini Puppy Wet food when I weaned my Chi's. My Vet recommended the Royal Canin Recovery Wet food for my 12 y.o Labrador Retriever mix that had digestive problems so I trust the brand.

I do understand that some dogs will overeat if given the opportunity so I'm not saying you're wrong, I just wanted to give my perspective from my experience.

For example, my Chihuahua hates for her food bowl to be empty, even if she doesn't want to eat, she still wants food in her bowl lol! She will bring her food bowl to whichever room I'm in and bark and push the bowl around until I go put some food in it!

How do you get tham to wind down at night mine is bouncing off the walls until 11:00 pm every day. We play fetch all day so she gets a lot of exercise.

Try adding some interactive toys and creating a cozy bedtime routine. Fennec foxes love mental stimulation too, so puzzle feeders can help tire them out mentally. 🌙🦊

I've got 3 of the little monsters. They are my little monsters though.❤

Aww, that's cute!

I adopted one Tiny AppleHead Chi he is 6months 2.3lbs. (Wyatt Earp) my roommate adopted the girl (Vivian) she is 1.7lbs and their big brother Henry Holiday 3.8lbs didn’t fit with the lady that picked him so he moved as well. They get along very well but it’s hard to control 3 little Gremlins. Do you have any tricks or secrets to train all of them. Please help. I love them all but I need help! Thank you for this video

I have 2 male chuahuahuas, I had to actually get them both neutered due to claiming my attention to themselves. Each one battled for whom was to sit on my lap alone. Didn't fight another time but on my lap. Chuahuahuas will do this I was told so each got fixed and no longer did I see them fight.

Chihuahua's are not so social pets so they need time to get along with each other. We will suggest you to take the control by training them. If they get into fight, take them in separate rooms immediately and when they calm down, let them play again.

Food motivated and happy voice and lots of verbal praise and physical praise as well ,I say to my dogs after I've done there nails or something they rather not be doing, lol I say all done and hold up my hands to show them they are empty and then I say yay celebrate and clap my hands and do a little happy dance ,works for my ,I did have a chow chow and brought him to puppy school. And golden retrievers I trained them all with walking and everything ,I never layer a mean hand on any of them ,please don't, use any type of hitting ,I used a spray bottle once to get them to stop doing something, not near there face ever...and 1word commands like if u want them to stop barking at a person walking down the street I'd say ,,Leave it and snap my fingers ,it got to the point where I only had to say it once ...I wish I could talk over the phone lol it would be so much easier to explain the little tricks I did to train them all ,I have had wonderful behaved dogs and cats all my life ,I became a animal groomer ,I love dogs this much ❤ best job ever but it's hard on the body my hands cramp up and things like that ,I have daily pain and don't take meds ,Tylenol for a headache and that's all ,so I wish u well and patience is a virtue! Bless your heart and brush teeth is vital ,they get yucky teeth fast ,and it's not good at all take that advice please, it will save you and your fur baby's pain from infected and the cost yikes ,all of my dogs knew there was no getting out of a bath or nail trims lol all done with love ,remember celebrate like they made the deans list to the best college 😀!

If nothing has worked yet, focus on Henry Holiday and Wyatt Earp getting along, and figuring out who's who in the hierachy. Then intruduce Vivian on a one-to-one basis first, before gradually letting them interact more and more.

My grandma had chihuahuas and they were good socially except with my uncle and other men besides my grandpa

They have open skulls, treat them like a newborn, they need extra calcium, have weak teeth that need frequent attention, and don't let them get too cold.

I LOVE all 3 of mine 😍😍😍

My biggest issue with Bella "my dog" is she is very picky about what treats she will eat. I have spend about 150 bucks trying different treats for her. So far she will only eat 3 treats. Pupporoni, chewy raw hide twists, and flavored burger bites. But sometimes she will turn her nose at the burger bites. I just wanna get her more treats, but she wont eat them. Any suggestions??

Hey there! 🐾 Have you tried homemade treats? Sometimes pups prefer those personal touches. Also, maybe explore some natural options like sweet potato or peanut butter bites. Good luck! 🐶 #PetopediaLove

Well this video has good tips but not and end all be all. I owned this breed and still do mine have their food down all day and always have. They eat when they want to till their full and then leave and come back. I have a male and a female. Female is spayed mail is not nuterd. I have asked about 5 vets around me and they say it does not effective their health. Now mine get shoots yearly and ears and eyes checked. But beside hart worm never been told they need special meds. But min live on a small farm with German shepherds so maybe that's way.

@@petopedia_ Well said, plus dogs need routine. I put my dogs food down for 30 minutes in the morning, if he doesn’t eat it I pick it up and he gets nothing til next meal. This morning he ate his food. He also has an afternoon snack to keep him going til his tea time. Sure my dog is a westie but he is still a dog.

We took our chihuahua to puppy training but she got thrown half way across the room by another big dog, the trainer said they were just playing but now our chihuahua (penny) has a terrible fear of big dogs.

Chihuahuas own you.

So now I go around with one eye as well you know what they say and I for an eye and a tooth for a tooth

Thanks for watching. A number of reasons could account for why your dog is peeing inside the house. It could be something as simple as he's drinking too much water and needs to go more often than he's able to go outside! If your dog starts going in the house, the first thing you should do is have him examined by a veterinarian to rule out any potentially serious underlying health concerns. If it turns out that your dog is suffering from a health condition, chances are that once the condition is treated he'll stop relieving himself inappropriately. Stay tuned for more!
