The Chihuahua Can Be Stubborn but Lovable

Since the traits of a Mexican Chihuahua toy dog breed can vary greatly from one individual to the next, it is impossible to pick one that would be appropriate for everyone. Some Chihuahuas may be terrified and shy at the same time that others have fire tendencies and a want to compete with bigger dogs. Conversely, Chihuahuas are renowned for their great affection and care for their owners. They prefer being carried and follow their loved ones about or via vehicle. They are thereby happy as long as they are with you.

Though they have a lot of affection to offer, chihuahuas can be challenging to train since they usually want to learn at a slower pace than many other dog breeds.
