Chihuahua

I’ve had the chance to care for quite a few Chihuahuas here in Portland, and their tiny size definitely doesn’t mean a tiny personality! Chihuahuas are intelligent, alert and deeply devoted little dogs known for forming incredibly strong bonds with their people.

 

Naturally, I had to learn more about them. Here are some fun, research-based visual facts about the Chihuahua—from their fascinating history and temperament to health, exercise and everyday care.
