- Leash Manners - She has greatly improved with walking on the leash. She will resist at first but a gentle tug and she'll move right along.
- Crate/House Training - She is house trained and will go by the door if she wants to go out. I make it a point to let her out after she eats or drinks. She uses the newspaper if she cannot get outside in time.
- Socialization - She is good with people and loves to meet adults. We have not encountered children as yet. She gets along with my mother's cat.
- Energy Level and Exercise - She is low energy. We do take a daily walk around the block and she is tired afterwards. She is very content to just sit with her people.
- Daily Structure and Schedule - She gets feed around 5-5:30 am and again at 5-5:30 pm. She is usually ready for bed by 8 pm.
- Temperament - She is submissive. She is a velcro pup and likes being with her human companions. She loves to cuddle but she is learning that it's okay to be independent also.
- Obedience Training - She knows Come and Stay, and we are working on other commands.
- Behaviors - At this time I have not experienced any chewing or digging. She does jump on people to get their attention. She is beginning to enjoy car rides.
- Personality Quirks - She is sensitive to loud noises and gets nervous in new situations.
- Ideal Home - She will need someone who is patient, understanding and willing to invest time into bringing this sweet girl to her fullest self. She is like someone who has never experienced the outside world. She is a smart, sensitive little cookie and will need someone who is not afraid to be "Leader of the Pack" (as Cesear would say) and be consistent with rules and training.
According to www.dogbreedinfo.com, the Chihuahua is the oldest breed on the American continent and the smallest breed in the world. Native to Mexico, nonetheless it seems to have been introduced by the Chinese. It was only brought to Europe at the end of the nineteenth century. The Chihuahua is named after the Mexican state of Chihuahua where he was brought to the rest of the world by travelers. This breed is believed to have been sacred to the Pre-Columbian Indian nations. The Chihuahua is a popular, economical companion dog. Courageous, extremely lively, proud and enterprising, it gives and demands affection. Bold and saucy, it moves swiftly to avoid being stepped on. Chihuahua's are strong-willed, intensely loyal and become very attached to their owners, even to the point of jealousy. They like to lick their owner's faces. It is undeniably suspicious of people except for its owner. When strangers are present, it follows its owner's every move, keeping as close as possible. This breed may snap at teasing children, after all it is too tiny to get away. The Chihuahua must resort to his sharp teeth in self defense. It is not recommended for children. He can be noisy and may require patience to housebreak. Many owners simply paper train this breed. The Chihuahua hates the cold and may shiver, although this may be due to high metabolism as much as temperature or anxiety. It will tolerate and even appreciate a warm sweater on cooler days. They are good little dogs for apartment life. Although it is tempting to carry these dainty creatures about, they will keep fitter if taken for walks. A body harness is safer than a collar. Don't think that just because he is small he should be confined to a small space. Chihuahuas have a life expectancy of 15 or more years.
