It's funny, I really didn't like Chihuahua's much at all ... right up until I moved here, New Mexico . I had only been acquainted with the hyper, destroy everything, yappie obnoxious little ones. Once I lived here I saw a different strain. In the eight years I have been breeding them, the only stock I breed are calm mature representatives of their breed. I have also found it hugely beneficial to not allow any adoption before sixteen weeks. I have come to realize if I keep them that long they have a better chance of being calm as well as having a more well rounded personality and disposition because of the longer education from the dame and 'pack'. They tend to whine less and be more independent ... rather than clingy, yapping, 'loose-their-mind' when they need to be left alone ankle bitters. But nothing can breed out the 'I'm a dane/rot trapped in a little body' mentality. Plus, being on the small side of 'tea-cup' they are damn easy to train to a litter box and kennel. Give them a kennel (cave to their impression) to call their own and they are infinitely less skiddish! These two pups, both girls, are just priceless. I cannot get over the 'puppie' smell and breath.
