Learn About Chihuahua Pups!

Breed Overview

Small, feisty and playful, a Chihuahua is the perfect match for first-time owners due to their loving and loyal nature. They may be small in size, but do not underestimate a Chihuahua because they are not only highly intelligent, they are also self-reliant and confident. Chihuahuas are great as a watchdog and have strong personalities. However, these compact canine beauties can definitely co-exist with their humans with proper training practices. A firm, but gentle hand is necessary when training a Chihuahua, and owners should enforce that they are in charge. If you are a first-time owner looking for a dog that is fiercely loyal, clever and independent, a Chihuahua just might be what you need and Puppies Direct can find the perfect match for you!
