Not all chis are like this but many do have some sort of issue to some degree. I heard more than once “ My chihuahua owns me“.Ĭhihuahuas can be overly sensitive and get their feelings hurt easily. The dark side of their big personalities is that chis can be demanding. House training a chihuahuaseems to be harder than with any other breed. This was a big one among chihuahua owners and it’s one I hear about every day from readers. It definitely lets me know when her nails need trimming. If I stop, she scratches my ankles until I give in. Lucy does it when she wants me rub her belly with my toes. A lot of chi parents wrote that their chihuahua will slap at them with their paw when they want attention, to be picked up, to be petted or fed, or whatever. Lucy does this to me a lot but I didn’t realize this was so prevalent among chihuahuas. Click the link to learn more about why chihuahuas shake and shiver. I haven’t met one yet that doesn’t do it to some degree. This seems to be universal among chihuahuas. Once they decide they love you, you will never have a moment alone again. At least in their mind that is.Īll dogs are loyal but I had never seen the same degree of loyalty a chihuahua has in any other breed, have you? 8-Chihuahuas are Loyal and DevotedĬhis decide who their human will be and though they may love everyone in a household, there is usually one special person who belongs solely to that chihuahua. It can be annoying and doesn’t help their bad reputation.Ĭhihuahuas love nothing better than to snuggle in the lap of their favorite human. This kind of goes along with not needing a doorbell. They will also let you know if someone is walking by on the sidewalk, or a leaf is blowing across the yard. They may not scare of an intruder but they will definitely let you know about it. 5-You Will Never Need a DoorbellĬhihuahuas actually make pretty good watch dogs. I think they should change the phrase “Napoleon Complex” to “Chihuahua Complex”. Chis have no idea that they are the smallest dog breed and think they can take on anyone or anything. I love seeing how different each of my dog’s personality is and how much fun they are to have around. Your home will never be dull with a chihuahua around. 3-Personality Plusįor such tiny little dogs, chihuahuas have strong personalities. I’m sure we would all love to hear about it. I’m sure there are more quirky “food rituals” and if your dog does one, let us know in the comments.
The most common ritual is that they pick up one piece of food at a time and carry it to a different room to eat it.Īnother ritual is that they will walk around the bowl one way and then turn around and walk around the bowl the other way before eating. I know one of my chihuahuas does this (as does my yorkie too) but I didn’t realize it’s such a common thing. I was surprised at the amount of pet parents that responded with this answer. 2-Chihuahuas Have Rituals With Their Food That’s why (as so many people pointed out) you have to be very careful before sitting down so you don’t sit on them. Chihuahuas, more than any other breed love their blankies and love to burrow in them until you often can’t even tell they are there. There were a few though that I was surprised was so common with other pet parents. Most I expected and have experienced with my own chihuahuas. I went through them and made a list and will share with you the most common answers.
Well over 700 responses, closer to 800! Apparently we as chihuahua pet parents have a lot to say about this subject. I asked my readers on Facebook what is something only a chihuahua owner would understand and was surprised at the amount of responses. Just funny, quirky, adorable little dogs. Sometimes it seems that chihuahuas are their own breed of animal, completely different from other dogs. It doesn’t mean I don’t love and have other dog breeds, but there is something special and different about chihuahuas. I know once I got my first chihuahua, I knew I would always have one. Chihuahua dogs sometimes have a bad reputation but if they are as bad as they are portrayed, why are so many of us crazy for them?
