Information about Chihuahuas

Posted by: Clinton Tuck , September 19, 2011

about chihuahua HealthIf you’re looking for information about Chihuahuas you have come to the right place.  Chihuahuas are a breed of dog that most people can recognize this may be because of L.A’s most biggest socialite Paris Hilton and her Chihuahua Tinkerbell. Other celebrities like Mickey Rourke and Paula Abdul are also owners of Chihuahuas. Many people love these little dogs because of their small stature, cute looks and portability.

But their owners are not the only ones in the spotlight! Chihuahuas have made an appearance in various movies like Transformers and Legally Blonde. In the film Once Upon a Time in Mexico Mickey Rourke even shared the screen with his furry companion and in 2008 Beverley Hills Chihuahua was released – a film dedicated to and, starring Chihuahuas.

Information about chihuahuas: Does the chihuahua suit you and your family?

They might be movie starts but are they the right pet for you? It’s very important you read and source as much information about Chihuahuas as you possibly can to make an informed decision about adding these adorable creatures to your family.  Unfortunately it’s not a good idea to have them as a family dog unless they are well trained and supervised around smaller children. Chihuahuas build strong bonds with their owners and can even become protective and possessive of them! It all comes down to training and socialization – if Chihuahuas are disciplined and taught good habits by their owner they can become a cherished companion.

Information about chihuahuas: Physical Charicteristics
Chihuahuas come in lots of different shapes and sizes. They are the smallest breed of dog but their height can vary depending on breeding. Chihuahua showing dogs are preferred to be smaller, however as pets the larger sizes are more sensible as they are more robust and easier to care for.

Chihuahua’s coats and markings come in an almost endless variety with no particular coloring to be most common. You can also get short haired and long haired Chihuahuas.

Information about chihuahuas: Health Issues

Because Chihuahuas are so little and appear fragile many people may be tempted to carry them everywhere but this can lead to several health issues. Firstly a lack of exercise can lead to obesity – a dangerous condition in such a small breed. From an early age Chihuahua puppies need to have exercise so that their bones and muscles can develop properly and the pads on their feet can toughen.

Information about chihuahuas: Chihuahua affection

This is not to say that you shouldn’t carry your Chihuahua at all. They are very affectionate and loving dogs and enjoy contact from their owners and love being being pampered. In busy areas or places with crowds or traffic it can sometimes be a good idea, because of their size they can easily be missed and trodden on which can be dangerous.

Chihuahuas are energetic and feisty and because if their long life span make great companions. They are also one of the most loyal dog breeds you can find, that I know from personal experience.  For more information about Chihuahuas make sure to explore the full range of articles on this website.  But more importorant, if you own a chihuahua, we would love for you to share further information about chihuahuas here also.  Please leave a comment.
