I am a huge fan of chihuahuas. I have had the great pleasure of owning 7 chihuahua over the past 12 years. I would like to see what other people think of them and hopefully meet people that have a similar interest. I have only just joined and this is my very first discussion. If you have any questions about chihuahua i will try and answer them for you, after all there is no harm in asking. I look forward to chatting to anyone that is interested.

I love my chi! They are tiny dogs with huge hearts!! My baby is almost 5 and until he was about 3 he was the bravest small dog ever. But now, he's the biggest chicken I've ever met! He's afraid of bicycles and rollerbladers so going to the park is not possible. Maybe its just his old age! I recommend chi's especially for those who may not have a big yard (or a yard at all)since they dont require a large space to exercise. I live in a condo and let me tell you, when my chi gets going he can run for what seems like hours around furniture. We do have a dog park in the town where we live, and they have recently fenced off an area for small dogs, which is great, since my chi doesn't like when big dogs charge at him thinking hes a squirrel!

I have had cats looking strangely at the chihuahua's and you can see them wondering to run from the dog or chase to mouse cause they must look like feed before they bark...

I love almost every kind of dogs. They are trully man's best friend. I have a dog. It is pekingnese, i think. And i love it very much. I also love cihuahua. I would like to have one if i can. I think cihuahua is cute. And the most important it is much easier since it is furless.

I love chihuahuas too they are so cute, and you are right there is no harm in asking, my little dog that I had for 12 years only past away nearly 2 weeks ago and I did not realize how close I would be when I lost him we had been close all those years. I loved him very much and he was a very faithful dog I don't know if chihuahuas are that close are they close to their owners and are they easy to house train.

I love chihuahuas. My little guy passed away at the ripe old age of 13 a few weeks ago, and I miss him something terrible. He was my constant companion, and I wish I had another one. I still cry about it at times, and my husband thinks I'm cuckoo, but when yoiu love one of these little dogs, it's like haveing another kid in your life. I'll be glad when I get another on. Maybe I'll get a mated pair this time...

I was interested though when i was younger. I find chihuahua somewhat cute and looks easy to take care of. But in our place that breed is rare that is why I haven't had the chance of getting one besides that being a very expensive breed in our place. I can only see them in dog shows.

I absolutely adore the breed. They are my favorite! I don't think I've ever owned a "purebred" one because mine aren't all as tiny as I've seen but all of my mixed breeds have been perfect angels. I had one from the time I was in 3rd grade til I was 21. I got another 2 (bro/sis) in Dec of 05 and my most recent baby in Oct of 06. I highly recommend them as they make wonderful lifelong companions.

I love chihuahuas and have bred them in the past. They really are adorable creatures and not the little yappers that people say they are. I wrote an article about them that might help some people. http://www.Helium.com/tm/112719
