Buying a Chihuahua

Buying a Chihuahua is a big decision, and it is important to feel confident throughout the entire process. On Get a Pet, you can compare current listings from both breeders and private sellers, see price, age, and location, and contact sellers directly. All listings show essential information about the dog, so you can easily decide whether it fits your lifestyle and circumstances.

Are Chihuahuas good family dogs or are they better for single owners?

They can live happily in families, but they are usually best suited to calm households with older, respectful children. Because of their tiny size and tendency to bond closely with one person, rough handling or chaotic environments can easily stress them and lead to nipping or nervous behavior.

Why do Chihuahuas shake so much, and is it always a health problem?

Trembling is very common in this breed and often relates to excitement, anxiety, or feeling cold because of their small body and low fat reserves. However, persistent shaking, weakness, or collapse can signal low blood sugar, pain, or a neurological issue, so any change from your dog’s normal pattern should be checked by a vet.

How much exercise does a Chihuahua really need considering its size?

Most do well with two or three short walks a day plus some indoor play, adding up to around 30 to 45 minutes of gentle activity. They are small but often energetic, so regular mental stimulation with training or games is just as important as physical exercise.

What health problems are Chihuahuas most prone to?

Common issues include dental disease, luxating patella (loose kneecaps), heart problems such as mitral valve disease, and eye conditions. They may also be at risk for tracheal collapse and low blood sugar in very small individuals, so routine vet care and careful monitoring of breathing, mobility, and eating habits are important.

Are Chihuahuas hard to house train compared with other dogs?

They have a reputation for being slower to house train, partly because their tiny size makes accidents easy to overlook and they can be sensitive to bad weather. Consistent routines, frequent outdoor trips, and positive reinforcement from the first day home usually make training much more successful.

Do Chihuahuas bark a lot, and can their barking be controlled?

Many are naturally vocal watchdogs that alert to small noises and movement. Early training to teach a quiet cue, combined with good socialization and enough mental stimulation, can significantly reduce nuisance barking, although some level of alertness is typical for the breed.

What special care do Chihuahuas need because of their tiny size?

They are vulnerable to injury from falls, being stepped on, or jumping off furniture, so they need a carefully managed environment and supervision around larger pets and children. Owners should also watch for rapid drops in blood sugar in very small or young dogs and protect them from cold with appropriate clothing and warm bedding.

How do long-haired and smooth-coated Chihuahuas differ in grooming needs?

Smooth coats need minimal grooming, usually a weekly brush and occasional bath. Long-haired dogs require more frequent brushing to prevent tangles and may need extra attention around the ears, tail, and trousers, but both coat types shed moderately rather than heavily.

Are Chihuahuas suitable for apartment living and urban environments?

Their small size and relatively low exercise needs make them very compatible with apartment life. The main challenges in cities are noise sensitivity and barking, so good socialization to sounds, people, and elevators or stairwells is important from an early age.

Is it safe for Chihuahuas to live with bigger dogs or other pets?

They can live peacefully with larger dogs and other animals if all pets have steady temperaments and interactions are closely supervised. The main risk is accidental injury to the smaller dog, so jumping, rough play, and unsupervised time together should be carefully managed.
