Have you ever seen a toy Chihuahua? The moment you see one you will fall in love with it. This is the tiniest and the sweetest looking dog you have ever set your eyes on and most people look forward to having one just because they make such a strong first impression on them. However, before you run to the nearest pet shop for your toy Chihuahua, you need to find out whether this dog is the right one for you or rather whether you are the right owner for it.

By description, everything about this dog is cute and endearing. It has a tiny apple shaped head, eyes that seem too large for their head and sharp, pointed upright ears. Its eyes are slightly bulging and the muzzle is tiny and sharp. Do not be taken in by its looks though ?the toy Chihuahua might look extremely fragile, but this dog is muscular and quite strong for its sizeThe toy Chihuahua comes with a custom made temperament and character.

The advantages of owning this dog is that you have everything you would love in a dog with less exercise than most other breeds. They are great companions, highly entertaining pets and excellent guard dogs. They live long ? about fifteen to eighteen years ? and all this while they will fiercely and possessively love you.

The toy Chihuahua loves attention and thrives on it. They are very territorial and hate to share anything their ‘own’ including their owners. This is why these dogs and young children do not mix well. They can get very aggressive if anyone else hogs the limelight and in their excitement they can even bite.

You can carry the toy Chihuahua anywhere you want, as it fits very well in your pocket if you want to take it and it will not make a sound as it anticipates your needs. It is the happiest when it sits on your lap or sleeps in your bed. Everything about this dog is highly endearing including the fact that it will courageously defend its territory against other animals and even humans.

When you choose a toy Chihuahua as your pet you get a lot more than that. You get endless entertainment, as these dogs are extremely comical in their behavior; you get a faithful companion who will never leave your side as long as they live. You get an excellent guard dog that will keep you alerted about any possible intrusion in your home. And lastly you get an animal that will love you unconditionally and demand nothing less than that from you.

You need to be careful not to spoil these dogs as they behave just like small children in their demand for attention and your love. They love luxuries and your company; therefore you will find them more often sleeping in your bed than in theirs.

Training needs to be imparted very early, as these dogs can be very strong-headed when they grow into adults. This is one of the reasons why most owners find it extremely difficult to housebreak the toy Chihuahua.
