General info

The Chihuahua dog breed‘s charms include his small size, outsize personality, and variety in coat types and colors. He's sensitive and thrives on affection and companionship. Chihuahuas often bond to a single person, although they're usually willing to make friends with new people if properly introduced. Expect them to be a little reserved at first, though. Chihuahuas can be timid if they're not properly socialized as puppies. Like every dog, Chihuahuas need early socialization exposure to many different people, sights, sounds, and experiences when they're young. Socialization helps ensure that your Chihuahua puppy grows up to be a well-rounded dog.
