Why do dogs bring you their toys when you come home?

I have always heard they do this as a means of showing that you are dominant. If you are the Alpha dog in the home, then all other dogs in your "pack" would see you as their leader. Yep, your dog thinks you are a dog. Or, you could just think of it as your dog showing you how much he/she loves you!

Is it safe to breed two blue chihuahuas?

It is. The problems concern the breed: if it were a 5 lb Chihuahua and a 10 lb Miniature poodle, then you should be worried. As long as both are Chihuahuas and your female shows no weight disorders, your male no obesity, it should be fine.

Is a cross breed chihuahua and pomeranian a good breed of dog as far as training and behavior are concerned?

Well first, such a mix is not a separate "breed" ... it's a mixed breed dog, no different than any other mixed breed. There is no reliable way to predict behavior or trainability of mixed breeds because the individual dog may favor either one or the other of their mix. You can try reading behavior descriptions of both chihuahuas and pomeranians to give you some idea of what to expect, but even that may not be how the individual dog turns out.

What are the chihuahuas known for?

If you are thinking of getting a chihuahua for a family pet, it may be a bad idea. Although Chihuahuas are loyal and loving, things can go wrong. Sometimes they get attracted to only one person.

For example, My mother had a chihuahua about 5 years ago. It didn't like my mother as much as it liked me, so if my mum tried to hug or tickle me or even step near me he would spring into action and snap at her hands or feet.

So, if your asking what Chihuahua's are good at I would say this:

Snapping or biting (This only happens when they are brought up in the wrong way)

Protecting you from other dogs or people. Yes surprisingly, when Chihuahua's are troubled they don't care how big it's enemy is it just lunges!

Obedience competitions. Chihuahua's are cute and little. they are attractive and that is why you see most celebrities have them. They may be hard to train but all you need is patience and you'll get there!

Not using their litter boxes! It may get frustrating if your Chihuahua doesn't use it's litter box, so I advise you to keep it in a dog kennel or cage and after it eats or when it wakes up, bring it over to the litter box.

I know lots about dogs, so if you have problems don't be afraid to aske me. i hope this information helped!

What is chihuahua relationship with humans?

Lots of chihuahuas are carried around and taken cared of by one person and a lot of times that causes the dog to get attached to that one person. Don't carry them around keep them on the ground and it will be easier for them to get over fears and it will be easier for them to be nice to other people. But on average they get attached to one person.

Do smooth coat chihuahuas need hair cuts?

Some dogs do and some dogs don't. If your dog sheds than it doesn't nee dto be shaved or cut or anything, but a daily brushing is helpful to keep the hair out of the house and to take the undercoat off the dog so it can grow a new one. If your dog doesn't shed than it does. They usually need to get one during the summer and right before winter.

Do Chihuahua's like cats?

This all really depends on the personality of your cat and the chihuahua. Unfortunately all pets have different feelings towards othe animals. Chihuahuas are generally active but not so much territorial. If your cat is easy going I believe they would get used to eachother. One problem is that a 3 year old cat may be very relaxed and not like to be bothered, as the chihuahuas get older they become alot more active and may actually bother the cat. Like I said though, it all depends on the personality of the cat really. I currently have 2 shitzus and a lab as well as 3 cats. They do great together. They pretty much mind there own business.

Go to google images, and type in "a CHihuahua's size" and that will give you a more exact answer. They will have a height chart. I have a 7 week old Chihuahua, he is a tiny little thing. Could lift him up by a pinky xD. Anyways, as I said before, the person who answered this before, obviously, has no brain. XD ~Indi-

Do people eat chihuahuas?

Yes, but generally only among indigenous populations living along the Andes mountain range. Chinchillas make their homes at high elevations, often residing within narrow rock crevasses, and seldom venture out during the day. They are also relatively endangered, specifically the chinchilla brevicaudata, which is legally protected due to it's near extinction. Also consider the small amount of meat a chinchilla yields, in addition to it's rattler slow breeding cycle for a rodent. All things considered it is much more common to see chinchillas poached for their luxurious fur, although natives may make use of the meat at the same time.
