Breed Information
The distinctive “little dog” – the Chihuahua (pronounced “chee wah wah”) is the most popular of the toy breeds. Affectionate and protective of its owner, these pint-sized playful pups are popular for their feisty attitude and huge hearts.
SIZE
The Chihuahua weighs between 1.8kg and 2.7kg and makes for a perfect little indoor companion - or a Paris Hilton-style handbag pup! You may have come across the expression “Tea Cup Chihuahua” which in fact is not a recognized breed at all. This term is used to suggest the dog is even smaller than usual which can often mean they are the runt of the litter. As with any breed there is broad variation of the size Chihuahuas will grow to. If you have your heart set on a very small Chihuahua it can be a good idea to purchase a puppy no younger than 4 months old, so that you’ll have a better idea of the size your puppy will grow to. However tiny a puppy is at 8 weeks, there is no way to tell how much more they will grow.
COAT
The Long Hair Chihuahua has a soft coat of long hair that is either flat or slightly wavy, with adorable feathering on the ears, puffy “pants” and a full plume on the tail. Long Coat Chihuahuas come in every colour and a variety of patterns (aside from dappled). Their coat sheds moderately.
CHARACTER & TEMPERAMENT
Alert, affectionate and highly loyal, the little Chihuahua will protect its family at all costs. It is one of the most affectionate breeds, loving nothing more than to spend time with its owner, snuggled up on a couch, or even under the covers! They become very attached to their owners and are often reserved or unnecessarily protective around strangers.
They are playful, cheeky and natural entertainers.
While they generally get along with everyone they are socialized with at a young age, the small frame of the Chihuahua can be easily damaged by young children making them more suitable for older people and singles.
With their natural weariness of strangers, the Chihuahua fits naturally into the role of watchdog, all too happy to alert you of anyone approaching your property.
CARE
Even the Long Coat Chihuahua requires minimal coat care – a regular brushing will keep the silky hair free from tangles and a monthly bath should suffice. It’s important to keep the Chihuahua’s fast-growing toenails clipped short.
The most important thing is to provide your Chihuahua with plenty of love and affection – they thrive on feeling loved by their owner. Cuddles, snuggles and kisses are all appreciated by the Chihuahua.
Due to its small size, you may need to invest in some adorable jumpers for your Chihuahua to stay snug during winter months!
Naturally attached to their owner, the Chihuahua will suffer from separation anxiety if left alone for long periods of time and will grow anxious, vocal and destructive.
TRAINING
House training can be difficult and should be taught from a young age.
Socialization should begin as early as possible to curb the Chihuahua’s natural tendency to be wary of strangers. Obedience training can take patience and perseverance, so try to train your Chihuahua for 10-15 minutes each day. Focus on food rewards and affection for good behaviours at all times.
ACTIVITY
With such a tiny frame, the Chihuahua uses up most of its energy by running after you around the house. However, they do enjoy a brisk walk and time at off-leash parks. It’s important to give your Chihuahua plenty of interactive play with toys and lots of cuddles throughout the day.
