   For example, my husband was always getting big dogs to run around the yard.  He could not love or cuddle a big dog.  They would dig holes in the yard.  Eat the side of the house.  Until one day I brought home a tiny chihuahua.  His heart was won by this tiny bundle of love.  How could something so tiny fill his every dream of owning a dog?  Now we own more then one.

By the way our yard is perfect.  Our chihuahuas get to enjoy the outdoors as well as the inside of our home.

Anyone considering a Chihuahua must be prepared for both the wonderful and challenging aspects of Chihuahua's endless amount of affection.  Chihuahuas will want to be by your side 24-7.  Don't worry, they are so small that their endless love and affection will not overwhelm you.  If you were thinking a couple of petting sessions a day would be enough, a Chihuahua isn't for you.   Chihuahuas have a reputation for being clannish and unfriendly toward other dogs and suspicious of strangers. Thanks to good breeding, however, many of the more undesirable characteristics of Chihuahuas are things of the past.  The love and devotion that Chihuahuas express is so contrary to the stereotype that has been so propagated over the years of Chihuahuas being yappy endless barking rats for no reason.  Fortunately, most of the respectable Chihuahua breeders have bred out the yappy, obnoxious traits, leaving the sweet -tempered, affectionate pet as the standard for the Chihuahua today.  Also years of socialization and gaining respect of the breed has helped a Chihuahuas' personality gained honored pet ownership.    210-464-7877 Owner/Breeder
