I just read up on this (since I'm considering getting a Chihuahua from the shelter)...they are "moderate shedders". The one I saw at the shelter (short hair, brownish orange color) was shedding excessively - a clump per stroke pretty much - but its coat still looked full. I'm hoping that its due to the time of year, cheap food, or stress and that if I adopt it, the shedding will become a lot lighter. My nose got really stuffy/congested at the end of the visit, so maybe I was allergic. A different (playful, less afraid) Chihuahua (black short hair) at another shelter didnt shed 1 hair I think, during our 20 minute play room visit. ~Shevi Yes chi's shed, all chi's shed some. Chi's do shed more at certain times of the year, but overall it really isn't bad. I usually sweep my hardwood floors once a day and that keeps the shedded hair under control.
Chihuahua's are moderate shedders.
actually, they shed more in the summer because of the heat. the amount dogs shed really depends on the temperature. the hotter it is, the more they shed to keep cool. the colder it is, the less the shed to keep warm.
Yes. They shed A LOT if they are short haired, if they are long haired, they shed very little.
Most all chihuahuas bark to much.

Yes...if you are allergic to other dogs it is likely that you will be allergic to chi's. They DO shed, not alot, but they still shed.
Yes , they do shed because they grow and they make new hair its normal unless its in chunks then you want to see a vet .
Chihuahua's only shed when seasons change like normal dogs and they don shed that much and the only other time they will shed if the dog is pregnant just like how we humans lose hair when where are pregnant and they shed allot then =D in fact my Chihuahua just gave birth to 3 live pups today
Chihuahuas. Yorkies are more for Dog Contest people and chihuahuas are for celebrities. From magazines, I usally see chihuahuas with celebrities.
