He's a hairless chihuahua, maybe part Xolo? We don't know, but he's adorable!

He's so very loved but he's driving me insane. 1 year old and alert/ aggressive barking at everything. It's so much once the sun goes down. Just barking at a dark window. I close the blinds. Barking at the sliding glass door, I close the blinds he goes under. Small noise outside barking. He has a loud bark. I am doing positive counterconditioning and desensitization. I'm redirecting and giving a chew at night but still he persists. Give me anything please. I'm desperate

it's water..LOL... she doesn't like drinking from a dish on the floor. Miss Fussy.

Trying to drink from the cat's splash pool, Coco would keep jumping into the bathtub and would be unable to jump back out, so we would have to go rescue her. Little wackadoo

Was told he was a 2 month old , long haired, full chihuahua puppy but we're uncertain

So I’ve just gotten my puppy who is male and just 13 weeks, he’s so amazing and I love him to bits already!

But I can’t seem to get him to pee on the puppy pads and I don’t know what to do, I have carpet in my room which doesn’t help but I which he would just wee on them instead of everything else

I did want to try and get him to pee outside but I’ve heard mixed reviews on toilet training outside because of the cold, and also I’m a little worried as I live with my family and they have cats that mostly like to chill outside

I will appreciate any advice, I’m unsure of what to do

My 8yr old 5lb love Charmaine. The third and fourth were generated by AI from original pictures of her. The rest are real.

I have a 9, almost 10, week old chihuahua. I was doing hour long bathroom breaks, but was told that was too long, so today I chopped it down to every half hour. Well, she’s not really getting the memo. For example, I took her out at around 0800hrs where she went number 1 and 2, and since then I’ve taken her out 5 different times (it is about 1045hrs as I write this) and she hasn’t gone to the bathroom once. Everyone says they need to go to the bathroom all the time, etc etc. but she doesn’t? When I take her out, she just thinks it is playtime, and finds a pinecone, branch, etc to play with, or she eats grass. I’ve debated putting her down for a nap, then taking her out, but I want her to pee before I do that.

Any advice?

I feel confused and unsure what to do as I feel like she’s not peeing when she should or not enough? And I feel like every 30 mins is overkill?

I have a 12 pound Chihuahua mix (chi/Yorkie/miniature schnauzer) who was three months old when we all went into quarantine for Covid. We have been working on socialization ever since. We have been mostly successful, but she’s still very shy on occasion.

She knows she’s little, and is weird about tall people and big dogs, as she’s afraid of being stepped on. She has no real basis for this, yet it persists.

She’s lived with big dogs, and has been social to a point but never plays with them. She does get along great with the cats, but again, is not responding to prompts to play or cuddle with them.

We are in a house now with two large dogs. She has chosen not to be social with them. I’m wondering at this point if my jealous, possessive little girl would do better with company and a playmate her size.

I have the opportunity to bring in an eight week old puppy who is confident, social, and plays with big dogs. Has anyone been in this situation with a shy and possessive chi, and maybe have any recommendations? Any advice or suggestions would be welcome.

Poor baby hates the cone / doughnut. I have been looking online but there are so many options for post surgery onesies. Looking for real recommendations that have worked best. I know they fit in various ways with or without bathroom access etc. She’s only 6 pounds. Thank you!

Update on the adoption of Spicy Jesus, Mr. Pickles & Miss Wiggles.

Ok, it is Wednesday evening and we will be driving 2 hours on Saturday to Newburgh, NY to finally meet our spicy little man, Spicy Jesus. I am nervous and beside myself with anticipation. I read through his medical history. During his intake, he was too spicy to be looked at by a vet. Later, he was bitten severely by another dog at the rescue. They had to put a drain in and when they took that out and the sutures he had to be sedated and eventually had to be given ketamine because he was still very sensitive to stimuli! We’re bringing a pair of heavy duty work gloves to help get him in the crate just in case, but idk if it’ll help. 😅 His decompression area is set up. I also have quiet bedrooms he can be moved to as well.

Anyone on here have to sedate their small dogs for vet visits?

Everyone else here at the house is doing fantastic. Miss Wiggles & Mr. Pickles really are dream dogs.

I hope I’m not ruining the harmony by bringing in a third. But the rescue said he’s good with other dogs and cats as long as they give him space and these pets do. I’ve also read a lot that having calm dogs in the home can help a nervous newcomer. I sure hope so. ♥️♥️♥️

Hey I’ve been going down the world of insurances for my male chi and it’s been honestly so confusing what I should do,

I want a lifetime policy and roughly covered 7 - 10k

I was looking at getting pet plan as I like the fact dental is included but read reviews on how much they add to your policy and the numbers are insane, I couldn’t afford 200 pounds every month

I also looked at admiral but it seems a bit too good to be true

I love him so much and I want to make sure whatever I pick is the best for him,

Any help or experiences you have would be greatly appreciated

( Ps this is my boy and he’s called Jonny Boy ) less

This is Queenie. I’ve included a 4 gen pedigree; people have asked, what does it take to make a Champion? Really helps to start with a Ch. you can follow back 4 generations.

Pic 2 - winners pic
Pic 3 - starting trouble with big brother

Pic 5 - 12 hr old pic.
Queenie is our #3 female, but is my fav, she luvs to cuddle on my neck when watching TV.
There is one inception going back where neither mom or dad was a Ch. that’s the only reason she is at the bottom of the Females. Other pedigrees will have every Sire as Ch or GCh. Just a lil about show dogs.
These are older pics but from start to current. There is a pic in another post of her and 2 others… just wanted to share with the sub 😊

Hi everyone!

These little ones are 4 weeks old today, and I'm super curious about whether they will grow up to have long or short coats.

I’ve read online that you can sometimes tell by looking at the fuzz length (the little ones are currently around 8mm) or by checking behind the ears and the back of the paws/legs for early feathering. is there any way to tell at this age? When do you usually know for sure if they are smooth coat or long coat?

( Here are a few pictures of them )

Thanks in advance for your help! ( Mom is long hair and dad short hair, ) This is what the mom looked like at 2 months: https://www.reddit.com/r/chihuahuas/s/GITgefMXnt

Mexico's National Guard has debuted a new recruit, a Chihuahua named Comando.

The tiny 13-month-old pup is being trained as a mascot and for search-and-rescue work as well.

Comando may be tiny, but Mexico's National Guard is giving him a very big role.

Outfitted with miniature goggles, a fitted tactical vest, a helmet and even a petite head-mounted camera, the 7-kilogram Chihuahua has become the most unusual — and smallest — canine member of the force.

Officers said the 13-month-old pup was being trained not just as a crowd-pleasing mascot but for search-and-rescue work as well.

Diminutive Comando, who stands 21 centimetres tall, looks nothing like the powerful dogs usually associated with military or police units.

During a training session in Mexico City last week, the little dog scampered up stairs and over obstacles while a much larger, fully trained canine named Roko looked on.

Lieutenant Debora Hernandez said Comando challenged two stereotypes: That only big dogs can serve in the National Guard, and that a military-style force cannot build a warmer connection with the public.

His presence, she said, reminded people that "beneath the uniform, we are human beings".

The force adopted Comando about six months ago in the northern state of Chihuahua, which inspired the breed's name, after his elderly owners became unable to care for him.

Comando now appears at civic ceremonies, school events and community outreach programs.

Comando is an outlier in a National Guard canine force of about 350 dogs, most of them traditional working breeds such as German shepherds and labrador retrievers.

Chihuahuas, known for their large upright ears, big personalities and expressive eyes, may be alert and energetic, but they are rarely seen as candidates for serious operational work.

About Comando

• Size: He stands 21 centimeters (8 inches) tall and weighs 7 kilograms (15 pounds).

• Gear: He wears custom tactical gear, including a fitted vest, a helmet, goggles, and a small head-mounted camera.

• Background: The force adopted Comando six months ago in the northern state of Chihuahua after his elderly owners could no longer care for him. He lives at the headquarters, follows officer routines, and wears custom shirts and boots.

Chihuahuas have a special talent for acting like they’re 50-pound dogs 😂🐶 What’s the funniest or most ridiculous thing your Chihuahua has done to prove they’re the boss of the house?

Poor turkey hasn’t been a new toy for more than ten mins and is already suffering severe HP

Hi, I'm new to Reddit. It's great that communities like this exist for posting about our Chihuahuas—greetings to everyone!

Does Finn look more apple head or deer head ? His muzzle is long but he is a pure bred with papers.

I think he’s perfect but ideally are their noses more smoosh?
