More about Chihuahua
As mentioned earlier, Chihuahua is recognised as the smallest breed by many kennel clubs.
There are two varieties of this breed. One of them is the smooth coat, and the other is long coat. Both these
varieties have their special attractions and can be easily groomed and kept
clean. Deer heads are recorded to have more widely set ears and eyes and
relatively longer and slender legs.
Temperament of Chihuahua puppies
The temperament of Chihuahua puppies depends entirely on the genetic characteristics
of its parents and grandparents. They can be easily provoked to attack
something or someone and therefore, they are not suitable to be kept in houses
along with small children. They have a tendency to become fiercely attracted to
one particular person. They can become over protective of a particular person and especially in front of other people and
animals. They find it difficult to mix and gel with dogs of other breeds and
tend to have a clannish nature. However,
you can keep them with a dedicated household with children 13 and up and then
they can actually adapt to this kind of living.
Behaviour of Chihuahua puppies
A Chihuahua dog generally likes to keep itself in its own den, hiding inside its
pillows, cloth hampers and blankets. They are often found deep below the bed
especially in darkness, and that is what
they perceive as their den. However, they also enjoy the sunlight. Chihuahua’s are not nice little dogs
however they are nasty little things that bite. This statement is often proved
right because as mentioned earlier they have a tendency of picking up bad
temperaments in their genes.
Another reason was being many people breed
Chihuahuas with a bad temperament which
is another reason of their bad habits. In addition to that, there are many
people who treat this breed as a substitute of their infant. They love to
cuddle with it and carry it in their laps instead of training them and teaching
them good lessons. This is another reason that makes Chihuahua puppies so notorious.
Neurotic breed - Chihuahua
It is no more a wonder that this particular
breed is neurotic. They grow up in a way their owners teach them. You as an
owner must be aware that it is you who should teach your dog to walk on its own
on its four legs. This adorable little creature can be a treat for you if you
can take care of it in the best ways possible. Housebreaking is probably the
most difficult lesson that you can teach to Chihuahua breeders. It is really very difficult mainly in cold and
wet weather.
Threats to take care for a Chihuahua
Socialising your Chihuahua not to threaten
strangers is another thing that you must teach your dog. This particular breed
is generally very suspicious by nature. They must have extensive exposure to
people and to unusual sights because otherwise,
their natural suspicion towards strangers and unknown sounds can often lead to
downright nastiness.
They are often too quick to sound an alarm at
every new sound and things that they see. You have to stop them quicker and if your training is successful, then they should be respecting you
and should stop immediately with your orders. This breed also sheds but since
they are generally small breeds shedding is not that big an issue. They are not
at all hypoallergenic or light shedding.
Health of a Chihuahua dog
Dental care is of utmost importance for this small Chihuahua
dog because their jaw size accounts for the weak teeth they possess.
This breed can be affected by hydrocephalus. Dogs with this particular disorder
tend to have an abnormally large head. They tend to be more lethargic and do
not grow at the same pace as their
siblings.
The puppies of this particular breed can also
tend to suffer from hypoglycaemia and low blood sugar. Sleepiness, lethargy and
uncoordinated walking can be seen as symptoms of
hypoglycaemia. As a Chihuahua owner, you
must be extremely conscious about the health of your pet. They are extremely
small in size and hence needs extra care.
Chihuahua breeders can often be a problem to deal with because
of their notorious behaviour. But if you train them properly they can be
extremely sweet to own.
