Has anyone owned a chihuahua? Well if I don't get a yorkie, I have enough money to purchase a chihuahua. I have done about 3 months worth of research on this breed and I wanted to know if any of you have had one. If so, what was it like? Any particular complaints? |
glad you asked that question i was thinking about getting one i personally have owned one but my neighbor has one i am going to ask her about it |
i don't own one personally, but i know most of the people i know that own chihuahua's say that they are real yappers.. that they become very possesive of their owners and get jealous easily, that's what i've heard. but hopefully you can find your yorkie... but with whatever breed you decide.. best wishes! :D |
My best friend owns a chi and you just thought a yorkie is NEEDY everything i have heard about this breed is they are so codependent its not even funny so if you have a lot of time and never plan on leaving it go for it. |

OMGosh!! are you serious poor baby |
Thanks for all the input everyone! |
I also considered a Chihuahua when I was researching small dogs. A relative had two, and they yapped constantly. They can also be easily injured, and I'm told they can be very nervous. Good luck!! |
My daughter has a chi. I thought that was an odd choice personally seeing she had 3 very little girls and chi's are known to sometimes be on the sharp side. How wrong was I? Trixie is a wonderful little girl! She has completely changed my view on chi's. She is way more independent than my yorkie who is like velcro ( which I love), She is cuddly when you want her to be, not at all nippy or sharp and in spending the month with my daughter if I heard her bark 5 times that's probably pushing it. I don't necessarily think you should pick out a breed of dog due to affordibility because you may have regrets and that could affect the out come with any dog that isn't a yorkie that was your first choice. My daughter specifically wanted a chi and it shows in how her dog is so happy and adjusted. Just make sure what ever breed you pick that you do your homework and buy from someone that is reputable because sometimes that half the battle. |
My boyfriends mom has one. And omg that thing is sooooo annoying!! all it does when ever we are there is yap and yap and yap!! And when shes eating he will sit there and whine and beg. But that could just be the way she raised him. Who knows. But I hope you can get a yorkie! They are just sooo cute! Good luck! :) |
A good friend of mine's parents had a chi and it was sooo mean. It would bite and snip at you, and growl the entire time. It also barked and shook like crazy! I personally didn't like it very much, but I think that it probably just requires attention different from that of say a yorkie. If Paris Hilton can take care of a chi though, it can't be that hard! |
My Rosie baby was a chi she was lovely, with early socialisation they make lovely dogs, she hardly ever barked and had the sweetest temprement with us her family but hated other dogs. She was more independant than Duncan (yorkie) and did everything all our other dogs did hated being carried she always wanted to walk with the big dogs. I found her very easy to care for in fact she was much less demanding than I was told she would be. |
We own a little long hair chi named Cosie. She is the sweetest little thing and although she is daddy's girl she loves us all. Some are nervous and some bark, best to check out the temperment of the parents though. She is our second chi. I think if you really want a yorkie you would be better to wait and save more money. You won't be as happy with your second choice. Windy and Lida Rose |
Do chi shed? |
I had a Chihuahua when I was younger, and let me tell you, I will NEVER own another again! They are needy, needy, needy!! If you are holding them and someone tries to touch you, watch out! The major problem that I had with mine that he never outgrew, was the fact that he would wee wee on anything that was fuzzy. I had to give up wearing slippers because the second he saw them, he would lift his leg and let it rip. Stuffed animals, rugs, carpets, blankets, you name it, he would pee on it. I could go on for days, but my advice is to wait until you have enough money to purchase your Yorkie. If you really want a Chihuahua, get a girl -- maybe she will have more manners and not wee wee on your slippers. |
