Small Chihuahuas
Small Chihuahuas are an adorable breed for a household pet! They can have either long or short hair. They do, however, have special needs. They are heat loving dogs and need to be provided with a heating lamp or blanket wrapped in a heating pad (this is particularly true if your dog is a shorthair). This is because they have a large surface to body ratio and loose heat easily. They may also need other items such as wooden dog steps to reach places that their small bodies cannot propel them to or clothing for outdoor excursions. These are a long-lived breed so during their years with us we should also offer our special friend: nutritious food, lots of exercise and of course lots of love.
