Chihuahua! Its good to have one,i owned one and i planned to get a partner for her even. They are obedient, it s depend s how you trained them as well. They are playful and very attached to the master. Very easy to carry one even in your bag, they are smallest breed as you know.

Yes, chihuahuas are aswome pets. I have 3 of my own. I love them all. I also have a 7-year old daughter and they good with her too. The one thing that is a little more difficult is the housebreaking part. Chi's have very small bladders and have to be taken out more than a larger dog. But potty pads work great too. Good luck!

Chihuahua is cute and very friendly. Our chi is very naughty, but it's the best companion you would ever imagine. Worth a buy, and planning to get another mate. But, careful if you have a female, because sometime it's really hard to house-train. But, with all the loves its gives you, you won't regret at all...

I have had a few chihuahuas in my life and have never had any problems. They are very lovable little creatures. A little dog with a big heart. I have heard bad things about them as well but i think that it just depends on how they were raised and brought up. If they were raised in a loving household that is all they learn. If you would like to tell me what bad things you have heard just let me know and I will let you know, to the best of my knowledge, everything I know to help. All you need to do is ask me what ever you need to know.

Yes, Chihuahuas are really cute and playful. I had one which is around 3 months old. She's passionate, cute and like to cuddle when sleeping with me. I guess they like owner's companionship. I learned from the Internet that, their behaviour is actually due to their smaller size, they often need to sleep somewhere warmer n comfortable. However, from my experience, my puppy is very naughtly and she is a female. I had problem doing paper training, but she behaves well when I left her with my fren(who also owns few Chihuahuas). Well, its a recommended for you if you stay in small apartment, like I do and get a short hair one.

Ive heard otherwise too, I've seen otherwise! I've seen real nasty chihuahuas that bit your ankles. But I have one and he's a sweetheart. I really think is how you raise him/her and the enviroment he's in. If he/she grows up in a loving enviroment he won't be so mean and nasty. But you gotta watch out , they are very sneaky, it's cute at first, until they're hiding your make under their blankets haha. I would definitely recommend you getting one if you have the time and love to devote to him/her.
