Chihuahuas are really great dogs but they have big personalities. They are also sweet, loyal and very loving. Great watchdogs. They see and hear everything and they don’t eat much.
I’ve owned 2, knew quite a few more. The female was a sweet thing but ancient and sick when we got her..I still miss her. The male decided he was my mom’s dog and growled at me every time he saw me. Never mind that even as a 5’2” female I was many times his size, he was ready to take me on...poor silly beast.
I still never had to lift a hand to him, and it kinda baffles me that anyone would. She’d just tell him to “Go lay down!” in that tone of voice and he’d slink off.
