THE TEMPERAMENT OF HOME DOG

Chihuahua

Chihuahuas are prized for their devotion, ferocity, and personality. Chihuahuas are not well-suited as small children's pets because of their size, temperament, and tendency to bite when frightened.

It is recommended that children be school aged or older before adding a Chihuahua to one's home. Also, manyChihuahuas focus their devotion on one person, becoming overly jealous of that person's human relationships. This can be mitigated through socialization.

Chihuahuas also tend to have a "clannish" nature, often preferring the companionship of other Chihuahuas over other dogs.

Chihuahuas seem to have no concept of their own size and may fearlessly confront larger animals, which can result in injury
