Description

Despite its small size, the Chihuahua is very brave. He barks at every little noise. He is also intelligent, very agile and stubborn. He has a special bond with his master or mistress. The Chihuahua gets along well with little space and because of its size it can also be kept in very small apartments. Since he is very playful, you should also deal with him. Cold and damp are not good for him. Longer fur should be brushed regularly.
