Every dog breed has its own characteristics that define it. While each individual dog will have its own unique traits, they are mostly consistent with their breed’s parameters.

Chihuahua’s are fiercely intelligent and will surprise their owners again and again. They are known for being both gentle and patient. Generally a family dog, Chihuahuas aren’t in need of much exercise and can be a great companion for people living in smaller spaces, like apartments. 

They are small in size, generally under six pounds. They tend to be a bit sensitive to cold, so Chihuahua owners should be aware of this and plan to either avoid or properly accommodate cooler temperatures. Grooming needs center on an occasional brushing and are relatively minimal. A Pickerington vet clinic can help you understand the difference between dog breeds. See details here.
