Chihuahua 8 Weeks Sassy Love Daddy

A chihuahua can make a great companion, but their personality doesn't always mesh well with small children. They tend to growl at and grab at small children and do not tolerate rough play. While they are small dogs, they do need a lot of love and time from their owners. You'll have to be patient with your chihuahua's quirks and make sure you respect their boundaries.

It's important to exercise your puppy daily. Chihuahuas require 20 to 30 minutes of physical activity a day. While this may seem like a lot, they can be very energetic and may go longer than you'd expect. Always monitor your puppy's exercise regimen to avoid boredom and potential ear infections.

A chihuahua's ears take up 20% of its body and are used for hearing. This allows the dog to detect strangers and other dogs before they get near them. The Chihuahua breed is generally healthy and only a small percentage of dogs get sick. They live up to 10 years on average.

A chihuahua's temperament will influence the way they interact with other animals. They tend to be a pack animal and protective of their owners. As such, they may be reluctant to share their attention with other pets. Luckily, there's a remedy. One TikTok user posted a video of her husband holding her foster dog. Paris reacts hilariously to dad's attention.
