Ten Considerations Before Getting a Dog.

For some Chihuahua lovers it's simply another Chi, and others are just finding out about this small entertainer. Whether you've had your Chihuahua for a few years or you have just taken your first Chi home, they're going to be full of surprises that may keep you entertained so long as they live. Nonetheless Chihuahuas aren't a good type of choice for everybody. While there are always exceptions, Chihuahua dogs are sometimes possessive and protecting. Want loads more info on chihuahuas for adoption. Chis have been know to attack other much bigger dogs It's your responsibility, as an owner, to keep this from going down. A chum of mine lost her dog when another much bigger dog attacked him for no clear reason.

Are there any size or weight limitations on dogs in your condo or community? Many will not permit dogs over 30-pounds. A Chihuahua would be a wiser choice than Shih Tzu if that is the case. H ow much dog are you able to lift? A Pug is an easy going companion but may weigh 18-pounds while a Yorkshire Terrier typically does not surpass 7-pounds. How much grooming are you able to do? If rheumatoid arthritis is a difficulty, avoid longhaired breeds like Pekingese or Maltese and take a look at short, smooth-haired dogs like Toy Manchester Terrier. How much exercise does the dog need? Any Terrier is a high-energy dog requiring out of doors exercise. Is the breed's personality a good match with you? A few of the people find Toy Poodles too challenging and would do better with the sweet-tempered Papillon. Be certain to include directions in your will on how your pet should be placed. Do the proper thing and read up on the dog you are thinking whether to get so that you understand exactly what to expect when you bring them home.
