They not gonna eat kibble food for long. Once they taste carne asada, they will quit on regular dog food. You will end up cooking for them.

[@mamama266]

ours are so spoiled we cook chicken breast for them, cut up fine and my husband puts shredded cheese on it

[@KFrost-fx7dt]

I know that was probably a joke but people, please don't feed a dog carne asada or spicy food! It has onions. Plus, once you've cleaned runny dog shits of your carpet (and whatever else the dog's but touches) you will go straight back to kibble only haha!

[@thetayterminator1436]

My Dog would rather go on a hunger strike than to eat anything else than a beef hot dog or chicken jerky. Ive tried every single type of dog food they make and she will seriously just prefer to go hungry.

[@freelancelady]

Bud Wzr My Rosita only eats home made food. 80 per cent is chicken, meat, salmon or turkey. 20 per cent vegetables. Healthy treats in the morning. Plenty of fresh water, lots of love and walking every 3 hours for 10 minutes so she keeps nice and fit. She loves to play with us and like to cuddle. She is now 7 years old. Not having any health issues. Good and natural food is the best thing you can do for a dog. Don’t give them that crap prepared food from these bags they sell and even if your vet says it is OK. NOT OK AT ALL. That dry food has been processed and will give your dog cancer, heart issues etc...

[@reginaknight6050]

My chi (taco) always ate people food. I usually boiled chicken legs and a spoon of cooked rice. He started having a little nausea, allergies, and his poo was loose and sometimes yellow. The vet told me it was his diet, but now trying to get him to eat dog food is not easy. If your chi starts having some of these problems you might try changing his diet. I guess we just love them too much.

[@SharonMuhindiN]

I have a Chihuahua and we follow most of the steps listed and she’s a very happy baby. Definitely very sensitive to weather and must be talked to all the time, if you pass her without saying hi she’ll assume you’re mad at her and she’ll get sad. They’re also very intelligent, can easily manipulate you if you spoil them too much. Haha

[@aprillovesgolf7042]

Hahaha.....”what? You ain’t gonna speak?”

[@basstrammel1322]

Intelligent: Wakes me up if I have hypoglycemia at night Manipulative: Limps in every single incline we've ever walked Not possible not to love :)

I’m looking for either a tiny toy poodle or a chihuahua right now. This is a helpful video. Very straight forward.

[@DestinyAmato]

twins tell me what dog you get!!

[@DustyHoney]

@@DestinyAmato Omg nice! I ended up getting a not so tiny old dog, who’s a chihuahua-wiener dog-terrier mix. He won’t fit in my pocket but he’s still fantastic. When you get your dog you should let me know. I love little dogs.

[@DestinyAmato]

@@DustyHoney welll I had the choice but the toy poodle wasn’t a 100% thing so I got the chihuahua instead ! I’m very scared because it’s going to be my first dog and it’s a puppy ! I get him in 3 week! I don’t know what to feed him tho, any advice?

[@DustyHoney]

@@DestinyAmato I think they make special puppy food. But you can also feed puppies unseasoned scrambled eggs and a little milk or half and half to help them put on weight and stuff. I had to babysit my uncle’s puppy and that helped her a lot.

[@DestinyAmato]

@@DustyHoney I just don’t know any good dog food for them because my family feeds there dogs Pedegree but I want this dog to last longgggg

[@kimberlydavis5034]

I absolutely love chihuahuas and they are definitely good tiny watch dogs. They're loveable, affectionate, smart and an excellent family dog.

[@rbear4574]

Some one should tell my Chi she a indoor dog, She loves playing in the snow and playing out doors all day if I let her. We will walk up to one mile every morning if the weather is good, she hates the rain and wind but loves lots of snow. At 10 she still plays and acts like a puppy.

my 2 year old chihuahua doesn't like people much at all he barks at everyone n anyone who comes into my house he won't let anyone stroke him except me n my partner he very playfully n loving towards us both.

[@neyomzl]

My Chihuahua (female, 4 years old) is exactly the same. She usually only let men pet her (i don't know why tho) and my family members of course. A tip for you that worked wonders for us is to meet your guests outside. Walk a few minutes with your dog and the guests and she won't bark. i can't guarantee you, that your guests can pet your dog but at least there won't be no hour long barking in your house. If your guests ring anyway what you have to do is being really calm (don't scream at your pup to be quiet because all he/she want's to do is to protect you) put your leg in front of your pup but don't cover their sight. just place your leg in front of theirs and slighty push them back. don't get nervous and don't raise your voice. That way you won't show ANY sort of stress because one of the main reasons your pup barks is because of you getting annoyed or stressed about the fact that he/she barks. chihuahuas are extremely lovely to those who they know. Let your pup take some time and don't stress if your pup doesn't let him/her being pet. You also don't have to embarassed about that fact. Your dog isn't "rude" or "badly trained" they just don't like to be touched by strangers. And if your guests say something bad about that behavior kick em out. They can't blame a pup not wanting to be touched. They wouldn't wanna be touched by a giant stranger either. Good luck and best wishes from switzerland!

[@budwzr8199]

Isn't that the way it should be? Chihuahuas are very loyal and protective of their "casa". They will even chase after big dogs. They are the best dogs for security. Forget about Pitbull or Doberman. Get a chihuahua.

[@JaimeeTyrell]

Did you properly socialize the dog and went to an obedience training? My chihuahua never barks and is extremely social.

I love my Chihuahua as my Baby or as I call her my little daughter, she's is so smart as one, she figures things out all on her own every day without being told any thing, & is well behaved also, she minds better than my own children Ive had, lol , I rather have Chihuahuas than children, they are better companions & more faithful in loving you & have so much more compassion than people , I can see having a loving Chihuahua in my life , Thanks for sharing with us all , May You Have A Blessed Day !!

[@linneajohnson2803]

Cherylynn Wilson i have a 3 legged chihuahua myself and his name is lucky and he is my baby boy he is 3 years old will be 4 dec 1 2018 he hates the snow and hates going in water also, but when i do give him a bath im very easy. The thing is he can swim but he just dont like to be in the water at all. He also barks at everything as nd everything also. He loves to cuddle with me and be very warm all the time though he is my cuddle bug i love that he loves to cuddle with me all the time and be under the blankets also cause im always under blankets to i get cold all the time even in the summer, i dont even have my a/cs up and running this year cause my place stays nice and comfortable with the fans on and i get cold on with my fans on at times. I got my baby boy for free at 6 months old from a family and im so very glad i did. My cat sky and lucky play together sometimes to but sometimes sky and lucky get on each others nerves to. But thats what brother and sister will do to each other sometimes lol. Thank u all for sharing ur stories about ur babys also.

I love my dog so much that before I go to work I take him for a drive because he loves it do much, when we drive around I sing to him you are my sunshine. I love my dog so much. I will spend,or do anything for that dog.

[@budwzr8199]

Yes, they are very loyal dogs. But you have to protect them from coyotes.

[@KFrost-fx7dt]

I have had multiple roommates and friends with chihuahua and chihuahua mixes. They are super popular where I live, but ours tend to be slightly bigger-bodied than the typical breed standard. Backyard breeding tends to result in bigger chihuahuas, but that's okay with me! I like the ones that are built a little more like a terrier, with a deer-head and even a flop ear or two. All the ones I have known were cool little characters.

[@junezalukmoore]

Me too! I adopted a 3-year-old deer head chihuahua and he is the best dog, so loyal and great personality!

[@winteronyxswan6273]

[@ashdav9980]

I have an 11 year old apple head chihuahua girl since she was a puppy and just got a new baby apple head boy. Chihuahuas are wonderful dogs, smart and alert, trainable, and friendly if you socialize them. Definitely more active than most people think, and they love to be allowed to be dogs rather than stuffed in a purse, even though they are lap dogs when active time is over.

[@greengracie2006]

I’ve had a beagle as an outside dog for about 6 years now, the only thing we do is feed him. He has no limits to backyard space, (by that I mean there is no fence, and we have a very large backyard either way) and is basically a wild dog who comes home for food and to sometimes play with me. His nails are fine, his fur is fine, I don’t see why you need to groom a dog once a week. Maybe this is just my dad’s style but his last dog lived to the age of 18. (He died from old age-) We also have a cat who we’ve done the same to, and she’s lived longer than him so far lmao (forgot to mention, our backyard extends into a creek, so they do have plenty of water accessible)...he must be doing something right cause both of them look like completely healthy animals lol

you don't need to bathe your dog every two months or EVER, unless it's really dirty for his/her own comfort or has chemicals on this fur. This bathing stuff is all for the human, not the dog! Furthermore, chihuahua needs to go outside every day , under supervision, just like all dogs! They need exercise, stimulance, fresh air to have a happy & healthy life. You are giving the false impression that as long as chichi is indoors, he's fine :/ Also, dry kibble sucks!!!

I grow up and had always had big dogs german shepherds. Till my x wife got a little 4 lbs chihuahua. And now I can say . For now on i well always have 2 chihuahuas with the big dogs . Their next to german shepherds for me as incredible dogs . My x wifes got a female and it took to me. And became my servers dog do to PTSD. And I'm a big guy 6'1 260 and that 4 lbs dog knew me better then i knew my self . As writing this i still get emotional over here no longer being with me. But the point is if raised with big dogs you can throw out all you here about them . I have 2 of my little black girls puppies and I have been asked how I trained them . Yes I did some but the large dogs did most the work making my little guys like them . So if you ever want a great family dog and are willing to watch them with kids Because kids can be hard on such small dogs . But my guys tack care of babies like my shepherds do . And german shepherds are know to be great family dogs . So I say no house is completel with out them . Their fun and well entertaining dogs . My little female now runs the house and the big dogs . And before o for get their great bird hunters ! I know first hand .

[@1mensamom]

To prevent tartar buildup I use TropiClean in their water bowl. You can find it online. Works like a charm, no tartar, no surgery. I would do some investigating first before I subjected my furbaby to dental surgery, sounds painful and expensive. Get another opinion from another vet before committing to surgery.

[@ordinarygas5656]

What if you go to school? Could the chihuahua be left in a room for about 6 hours most week days? Or would that be considered cruel? I know many people leave their dogs in crates for parts of the day.

[@TheLMMCProgram]

Yes as long it has everything it needs and plenty of space

[@jesterday2222]

yes that's cruel as dogs are pack animals and need care, being able to move and company. Leaving your dog in a crate seems to be the cruel trend indeed, in my eyes those people could NOT be more selfish! Poor dogs, treated like something you can "turn on and off" whenever you feel like it.

[@ordinarygas5656]

Jesterday I have another dog so if I decided to get another it would have company. Also, I never intended on keeping it in a crate at all.

[@emily-hg3sx]

No, i go to school and my chi has a pen he literally just sleeps and plays occasionally it’s not cruel

[@emily-hg3sx]

Jesterday what are you supposed to do? Quit school?

[@budwzr8199]

What I'm saying is that they don't need to be walked like a bigger dog. They don't gain weight from laying around the house. They will only eat what they need so they stay normal weight

[@sharkratty]

Bud Wzr all animals and humans need exercise, regardless of size. -_-

in the video it says with training use a harness but using i coke collar is better for leash training

Wish I saw this before I rescued a pregnant Chihuahua. After her baby came along I never took them anywhere until there were 3 mo other than the vet. So they distrust everyone else.

[@yourlocalbestie2028]

The last fact doesn’t make sense I give My chihuahua her food but she’s doesn’t eat it I rarely give her chicken like my vet said but still so I left a whole bowl of dog food and I left because I had to go to school and nobody was home but when I got back the bowl was still full but the water bowl was almost empty so either she’s not hungry or tying to starve

[@MrBa143]

please take hypoglycemia serious, especially if your puppy is smaller than the average. Our puppy did not want to eat the first 10 hours and we nearly lost him because of that. If your puppy starts to frequently vommit a clear substance with no content in it, mix sugar with water and feed it to it slowly, to regain blood sugar

Lmao my chihuahua was biting me acting all tough once I put him on the floor he starts crying 🥺

[@carriephlyons]

Utter drivel. A lot of incorrect and outdated information in this video. Sigh... and people wonder why they are so prone to behavioural issues. They need good walks, good food and stimulation, the same as the largest dog... the yard is not stimulation enough for these highly intelligent little people!!

Carrie Lyons hi, I’m almost thirteen and planning on getting a chihuahua mix dog when I’m 18. Do you have any advice for me? :) I’m trying to research as much as I can and get as much information as possible!

[@Ray-uj8hn]

@@sharkratty I agree with Carrie Lyons. This video isn't that good. 1. Chihuahua's have the longest life expectancy of all of the dog breeds. Make sure you are ready to take on that commitment. 2. I would say Make sure you socialize your chi just like a big dog. But be careful they are very small. the barking and nipping people always complain about in small dogs is actually called "fear aggression" . So just imagine being that small. Its pretty scary. Look into a local dog trainer/puppy school. 3. Feed large kibble size to small dogs and try to stay away from wet food. They have very bad teeth. The large kibble helps scrape plaque off of their teeth. You need to keep their teeth in good health. chihuahuas have the longest life span of any dog breed, but there teeth can start to fall out at age ten(they can live to be 20+). 4.They can suffer from hydrosephalus or water on the brain. Puppy mill dogs can have severe behavioural issues. Only buy from a reputable breeder. Research the breeder before you buy. 5. It is sometimes harder to house train small dogs. never ever hit your dog while house training or push their nose into an accident. Small dogs are, well, small. A big dog understands that this is where they live, sleep, eat, so they shouldn't pee and poo there. But a small dog just thinks ,well I sleep in this one foot space and the rest is ok to pee in. A good strategy is to limit their indoor space to a very small space until you have a better handle on house training. Like they are only allowed in the living room. You can use a baby gate to keep them in one space. I hope this helps. chihuahua's are loyal, smart, and really fun!

[@sharkratty]

B.R.G I’m not getting from a breeder. I’m rescuing.

[@Ray-uj8hn]

@@sharkratty That's great!! Good for you. There are so many little friends in need.

[@wubwubjourney]

Sharkratty dogs take the same amount of time as kids don’t get a dog if you don’t have enough time to give to it your gonna need help when your going through school and what not

[@cheddarcheesechihuahua6731]

I'm a self made self sufficient Chihuahuas

[@nicki8062]
