Chihuahuas are known for being loyal, energetic, and intelligent dogs with big personalities.
Some of their characteristics include:
Temperament
Chihuahuas can be bold, curious, or shy and timid, but they are usually loving and affectionate with their family. They can be wary of strangers and other dogs, and may bark at them when introduced.
Energy level
Chihuahuas are very energetic and prefer to be running, playing, and barking rather than sleeping. They need 20–30 minutes of exercise daily, but can get their exercise by following you around the house.
Training
Chihuahuas are easy to train because they quickly learn the relationship between actions, prompts, and rewards. However, their small size can make them difficult to train. Early training and socialization are important to help curb their bolder behaviors.
Size
Chihuahuas are small dogs, typically standing 5–8 inches tall and weighing no more than 6 pounds.
Appearance
Chihuahuas have rounded "apple" heads, erect ears, and full, luminous eyes. Their coats can be smooth and short or longhaired, and come in a variety of colors.
Lifespan
Chihuahuas typically live 14–16 years.
