Hi: We have 2 chi's, one is prox 4 lbs. the other about 5 lbs. both males. My family has always had chihuahuas as far back as I can remember. In fact, everyone was surprised when I adopted my yorkie girl. A chi will be yappy, if you allow it. They will be snappy, again, if you allow it. Its all in how you train them. Yes, they will let you know if anyone is near your door, your window, etc.. but I have always found that a plus.. Each Chi had their own personality (bashful, friendly, overbearing, dominent, playful..so on) but the one common trait all our Chi's had was loyalty. They become extremely attached to their owners and you get the feeling that somehow these dogs will not go on living without you (which, of course, they do). They will truly go on to be a loving companion. |
