Chihuahuas are lively, affectionate and extremely brave. They are excellent companion dogs. Chihuahuas are very loyal dogs. They adore their owners and become very attached to them. These little dogs are very suspicious of people except for their owner, whom they love to the point of jealousy with all attributes of the doggy love, such as licking faces, jumping, etc.

This breed requires much attention and love. Each dog of the breed has its own unique personality. They are extremely faithful and get attached to one or two persons. Like many other small breeds, Chihuahuas seem to be unaware of their miniature size. They are very protective of their family and courageous with other dogs.

Chihuahuas - Health Problems

Some Chihuahuas may experience some health problems. Some of these concerns are heart problems, seizure disorders, luxating patellas, hypoglycemia, collapsing tracheas and teeth problems.
