#4 The Chihuahua is a loyal friend for life, but not exactly a novice dog.
The dog breed is clever and tricky to impose its own ideas. He likes to bark and also uses the "instrument" to get his way. The Chi loves walks and convinces with great endurance.
#5 Even there, he never lets his loved one out of his sight, even if he moves effortlessly in a pack among his own kind.
As small as the Chihuahua may be, his personality traits make him a big dog. He courageously defends his family and indicates early on when danger is imminent. As an apartment dog, the owner will have to intervene to regulate. The more the dog owner lets the little one get away with it, the more difficult it becomes to live with the Chihuahua, who then makes the rules.
#6 If there are children in the family, they have to learn to leave the little Mexican alone again and again.
The Chihuahua is not automatically a child's dog, it simply does not have enough patience with the two-legged friends. The Chihuahua behaves reservedly towards cats and animals of a different species, sometimes even showing a little jealousy. If the Chi is confronted with other species from the beginning, there are usually no problems.
