Why Chihuahuas Make Awesome Pets

Let's Celebrate the Chihuahua for a Moment Shall We...


From the song I Chihuahua to Yo Quero Taco Bell! Chihuahuas have long been a symbol of fun and excitement for all to enjoy. They are undoubtedly a small bundle of energy and joy and often mean the world to their owners, sharing a bond unlike any other. Yes Chihuahuas can sometimes get overly attached to just one person and the chihuahua tends to like being the only child, but if you are lucky enough to have one of these little pistols you are sure to see why they can be the preferred pet of the household.

Here's our top 10 reasons for getting a Chihuahua:

1. They make excellent guard dogs... That's right guard dogs. Sometimes all it takes is one protective little pup to yip, yap, and snarl to make the difference in whether or not an intruder dares to enter. Even if it's as small as a Chihuahua.
2. They are low maintenance and less costly to get groomed. - Although Chihuahua hair can shed, it is extremely short with very little undercoat. Regular brushings and bathing will do the trick when it comes to routine care of your loved one. You might also want to make additional appointments with your groomer just for nail trimmings to keep those sharp claws buffed down.
3. Chihuahuas come in a lot of varieties of sizes and breeds. We all typically imagine chihuahuas as being tea cup sized but some of our favorite breeds include the Cheagle (Chihuahua/ Beagle), Chug (Chihuahua/ Pug), the Chiweenie (Chihuahua/ Daschund), and the Pomchi (Pomeranian/ Chihuahua). These are just a few of the super cute crossbreeds we've seen and enjoyed grooming at Golda's Grooming boutique.
4. They are often talkers. Many Chihuahuas like to speak to you. This can be one of the cutest traits of the Chihuahua when they tell you they love you or even sing along with a song.
5. They get cold easy, so they are big cuddlers. Chihuahuas are true lap dogs and love the warmth of a soft cuddly blanket or even just being cozied up to mom.
6. They often can fit in a small carrier or purse for extra convenience.
7. They love their owner(s) and are both devoted and loyal
8. Chihuahuas tend to be high energy. Although this can be bad, it can also mean they are more playful than other dogs and enjoy their toys immensely.
9. Chihuahuas live long lives and tend to have only minor health problems in their old age unlike many other pure breeds. The perfect pet for a long term companion.
10. These cuties love to be pampered and are the perfect pet for dressing up.

Our very own ~ Oliver is a Cheagle. His personality is fun loving, good with children, and  he loves to sleep under the covers where he can keep your feet warm. He's sociable and is good with other dogs and cats. Just further proof why we believe Chihuahuas are awesome.
