Chihuahua care

You should put your Chihuahua in a crate at night times and when you are away from home until they are potty trained. Most dogs don't want to sleep in their own pee, so they will hold it. When you wake up or get back home, you should take your Chihuahua outside first thing.

Monitor how much water your Chihuahua is drinking. Some dogs will literally drink until the bowl is dry, and what goes in must come out. You shouldn't give your Chihuahua any water right before you put them up in their crate.

Chihuahua breed

What most people don't know is that common terms like "teacup", "toy", "deerhead", or "applehead" are not defined as a chihuahua breed by any of the major canine organizations such as the AKC, CKC, or the UKC. In fact the only different official chihuahua breeds are long-haired and short-haired. The term is usually used to define a chihuahua which weighs less than the standard. It seems to be a popular term that most people and chihuahua breeders use and will probably be here to stay even if it isn't recognized as a chihuahua breed.

CONCLUSION

First of all you want your Chihuahua to look like a Chihuahua. He or she should be a tiny dog with a fairly stocky build. The head of a Chihuahua is rounded; the muzzle is short and not squashed in. A Chihuahua’s ears stand erect. As young Chihuahuas, the ears will be floppy. The eyes are large. If you want to show or breed your Chihuahua you will want to choose according to the standard of perfection set by the American Kennel Club.
