It depends on a lot. The genetics of the dog, the dog's environment, etc. If a chihuahua came from two parents prone to anxiety/ stress, it is likely the reaction is written in the genetic code. If this is the explanation, it is quite possible that selective breeding played a role in the skittishness of the breed. If the dog is often around large and scary objects, objects that produce loud noise, or abusive owners, the chihuahua's fear is likely a result of constant exposure to such conditions. Permanently afraid, if you will. There are many combinations of factors that lead to the disposition of a dog, and if your small breed seems incessantly frightened without provocation, it is likely a product of breeding.

Chihuahua dogs are known to tremble and shake, but the reasons for this are unknown. Generally, a Chihuahua may tremble due to being cold, low blood sugars or to express emotion, for example.

Do chihuahuas back down from fights?

I must say that some chihuahuas do not back down from fights. Some of them will attack if threatened. It usually depends on the personality of the animal. From experience most chihuahuas will act like they will fight, but if you challenge them, they will run away but attack you on your way away from them.
