19 faits étonnants sur les chihuahuas que vous ignorez peut-être

Chihuahuas are a very protective and territorial breed. They tend to bark at everything and are often referred to as “yappy dogs.” Of course, like all dogs, your Chihuahua barks as a way to communicate with fellow canines, other animals, and humans.

Chihuahuas are notoriously needy dogs, constantly craving attention and affection. They enjoy being petted and — due in part to their hyperactive personality — like to exercise. In addition to being protective of their families and having a territorial streak, Chihuahuas can be easily provoked to attack.

Dogs don't hold grudges. They only appear to if the humans around them react negatively, because then we're telling our dogs to do the same. So the next time you have to discipline or correct your dog, don't worry. She won't resent you for it.
