#7 Breeders who are particularly proud of extremely small dogs and who breed bitches under two kilograms should be avoided.
Above all, the breeding regulations of the UK are very strict, so that in recent years birth difficulties, which used to be relatively common with Chi, have decreased. Even the open fontanelle is no longer required as a breed characteristic. As with all miniature breeds, Chihuahuas can lose their teeth at a very young age. Tracheal collapse and prolapse of the eyeball as well as corneal injuries can occur after excitement or collisions with other animals.
#8 Is a Chihuahua a good dog?
Chihuahuas are loving and loyal and make good pets for first-time owners. These little dogs have big personalities and range from feisty and outgoing to shy and timid. Intelligent and fiercely loyal to the people they love, Chihuahuas will happily accompany their owners anywhere and everywhere.
#9 Why are Chihuahuas so special?
The smallest of all purebred dogs, Chihuahuas—or Chis as they are affectionately called—are intelligent and can be quite sassy, having distinct personalities. They are very loving and extremely loyal pets that typically do well with children and other animals, if introduced properly.
