​We love sharing information – sometimes it’s small tidbits and other times its big juicy chunks of info, and every now and again it might be something as simple as a meme to make your smile.We hope you enjoy our blog – which is mostly dog focused but can occasionally be distracted (Travel Tuesday is a lovely distraction but also a great way to get new holiday ideas). ​

Interesting Facts:

    • Like Human Babies, Chihuahua’s have a soft spot on their head which is called Molera. This soft spot can stay for life depending on the Chihuahua’s size, genetics and skeletal structure

The Chihuhua

Chihuahua’s are known to be one of the worlds smallest breeds that originated from Mexico, they were named after the Mexican state of Chihuahua around the 1850’s.
Although the Chihuahua itself is very small with only standing around 5 inches high and weighing between 1-3kg, they have a huge personality! Chihuahua’s can have either a smooth coat (Short Haired) or Long haired and can be seen in nearly any colour though the most common are fawn, chocolate, red, white, mixed and black.
A Chihuahua’s temperament is commonly known to be feisty towards new people and dogs who are threatening to their size, though they can be very timid and shy at times as well. The Chihuahua is a very loyal companion to their owners and tend to make a particular bond with one person. They enjoy being carried securely in people’s arms or curled up on their laps for an afternoon snooze., While they also make great travellers and have a quirky side to their personality which is what most Chihuahua owners love about them!
The Chihuahua being as small as it is, still needs at least 20 minutes exercise per day and to which they rather seem to enjoy it more than we think they would. They do require regular grooming to keep their coat looking beautiful and to keep a close eye on their dental requirements as their teeth are so tiny they can be more fragile.
