Chihuahua is the smallest dog breed in the world. It looks small and cute, with a big head and round eyes, thin and straight ears. The weight of an adult dog is only 1-3 kilograms. It is a super mini dog in the sleeves. It is widely loved by people for its well-proportioned physique and petite body.
Although the Chihuahua is small, it is tough-willed, energetic, and very brave. Even when facing a big dog, there is no fear at all. In front of the owner, it is very well-behaved and likes to stick to its owner's side.
Because the Chihuahua is small, it does not require a lot of exercise. It is usually enough to take it downstairs for a few rounds, and it is also suitable for those who like to stay at home. But we found that there were very few people around us who raised Chihuahuas. I think the biggest reason was related to these shortcomings!
1. Weak constitution, afraid of cold.
Chihuahua has a bad physique and has short hair, so it is very easy to catch a cold when the weather changes. So if you raise Chihuahuas at home, take some warm measures to prevent Chihuahuas from being exposed to cool breezes. It is best to take them out for fun when the weather is better, enjoy the sunbathing and bask in the sun. If the weather is not good, don’t take Chihuahua out, otherwise Chihuahua, who are naturally afraid of the cold, is prone to pneumonia and rheumatoid arthritis after the cold.
2. Like to scream.
Chihuahuas are very alert. The slightest restlessness in the outside environment will cause Chihuahuas to be uneasy, and the personality of Chihuahuas is added, so this leads to Chihuahuas' love to call.
Chihuahua loves to call is a very annoying thing, especially at night, it will seriously disturb the owner's rest, and it will also make strangers passing by feel scared. Therefore, it is recommended that the owner do more social training for the Chihuahua and take it out for a walk more often!
3. The dog relies on the power of the people.
Although the Chihuahua is small, it is not honest when it is outside. Even a dog that is much bigger than it dares to rush up to provoke. One of the reasons is that it has a brave personality and loves fighting. It relies more on its owner by its side. So even though it knows that it can't beat others, it will still bark at other dogs and provoke them. When the owner is walking the dog outside, he must take good care of the Chihuahua.
4. Bone problem.
Chihuahua's legs are very slender and are very prone to fractures. This requires special attention. You cannot do too violent movements, jump from too high places, or even let Chihuahua climb stairs, or hit hard objects, you may break your bones. Therefore, for very sensitive Chihuahuas, they need to be well cared for so that they will not be harmed!
5. Strong possessiveness.
Chihuahuas are very possessive, both stingy and domineering. The owner may touch other dogs in front of him. Such behavior will make the Chihuahua very jealous and attack the favored person in minutes. Chihuahua's possessiveness is the same for food. Food care is a big problem for dogs and requires the owner to train them carefully.
6. Heart disease.
For small dogs like Chihuahua, due to genetic factors, the probability of suffering from mitral valve is particularly high. Moreover, the early symptoms of heart problems are not obvious, and they are very easy to be misdiagnosed as bronchitis, so it is necessary to perform a cardiac examination on the dog before sterilization. In addition, the typical symptoms of heart disease in dogs are exercise intolerance, shortness of breath, and purple tongue. In such a situation, you also need to be sent to the hospital in time to find out the cause of the disease.
