Chihuahuas may be the ideal dogs for apartment living, but
this doesn’t necessarily mean they are the ideal dog for you. For instance,
the toy Chihuahua is ill-suited for a household with small children.
They are small and delicate dogs, that are easily hurt if pulled or fallen on.
Additionally, the Chihuahua tends to bond with a single person and can be
rather snappish if annoyed. For these reasons, it’s generally a good idea to
introduce them into families with older children. Likewise in homes with other
dogs; the Chihuahua can tend to be rather elitist and prefers the company of
his own breed over others. Amusingly though, the Chihuahua tends to have the
attitude of a terrier and will take on any other dog, if provoked. While it
may seem amusing thinking of a toy Chihuahua trying to take on a Great Dane,
it’s common for these pint-sized spitfires to bite off more than they can
chew.
