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.

Why do people love chihuahuas?
Mostly becaus of their size, and many famous people have them. Plus they are really cute!
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.

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.

i kno ill sound stupid saying this but........what does nuetering your dog mean......i never knew......can someone tell me =(
They make much better pets when they are neutered. They do not mark ( pee on things) in your home if neutered early enough in life. They will get along better with people and other male dogs. Not to mention there are many 1000's of homeless chis killed every year as there are not enough homes for them all. Serena Chihuahua & Toy Breed Rescue www.crar.org
How to get a chihuahua potty trained?
Okay, I' guessing it is a puppy so this is what you should do: at first, the puppy shouldn't be allowed into the garden until it has at least had its first injection. you should have newspaper down in everyroom which the puppy is allowed- also have one by the front and back door. Use a simple command such as do wee's everytime the puppy goes on the paper. (even of they don't go to toliet) Dont fprce the puppy to pee as ti will just get uncomfertable, you also have to remember it may go to toliert on the paper one, but that doesn't mean it will remember the next day! If the puppy goes to toliet anywhere other than the mat, don't get really cross, use an easy word like "AHH" and use it in harsh tones. Then pick up the puppy and put it straight on the paper and after into a crate/cage which it should already have - don't think of i so much as a punishment for the pup, but a cage/crate is where it escapes from people and feels sercure. If you are still have trouble training the puppy with the command etc. buy some training pads, they can be bought at most pet shops and work dreams. The scent attract the puppy to go to the toliet- hope this helps.

How to assist chihuahua giving birth?
You make her a bed , and a clean environment. Let her clean up the puppies herself. Then give her a doggie bed and she cuddle and feed the puppies herself. When they are about 6 weeks old, take the puupies to the vet so they can have their first puppy shots. Call your vet office first. And they will give them parvo shots, very important do not take your mommy dog to the park or have any oyher contact with other dogs, because the puupies can get parvo and they will die. That's why it is very important all the dogs around are vaccinated (up to date) Good luck.
What were the chihuahuas originally bred for?
