Rescue a
Chihuahua Chihuahua
Pictures
"Here is a photo of our now Chi family of 4 from left... Milo (17 months), Maribelle (6 1/2 months), Maxwell (13 months) & Matilda 16 1/2 months). While Milo & Matilda are on the bigger side of the Chi scale at 8 & 9lbs, Maribelle & Maxwell are on the more average size at 5 1/2 & 4 1/2lbs. Milo is a bit more on the lazy side compared to the other three & sometimes will just sit there & watch the others play or just take a nap! They are all very loving & are always anxious to share kisses with their human's and with each other alike. Sometimes they'll lay in the sun bathing each others faces & ears. They like to burrow in blankets, pillows, etc until they fluff it up just enough to get comfortable & then proceed to take a long nap. None of our pups are alpha dog, where that is the humans job, but the two girls are definitely more bossy. If Matilda wants to play you'd better play or else you'll get a "donkey kick" until she gets a reaction. And Maribelle, our only long coat Chihuahua, lets just say she's been a bit of a challenge at times but she still has her place at night right on moms pillow! I always have heard how Chihuahua's are hard to train but I find them incredibly smart & clever. Maxwell is even known to open a crate door if he finds something inside appealing to him. All of our Chi's are doggy door trained to go outside to potty. But they also like to go outside & lay in the grass in the sun or sniff around & eat leaves in their fenced in play area."
"I had always been a large breed dog person & was never really fond of little dogs. However when wanting a new addition to our home, I did my breed research & found the Chihuahua to best suit my wants in a dog. Apparently they surpassed my expectations, my whole families expectations, as we went from one to four Chihuahua's in 10 months with absolutely no regrets. Our Chihuahua's fit perfectly into our lives & home and are like our children." "I have been watching Cesar Millan's shows for almost a year now and have been using some of his techniques. The techniques we've learned have definitely helped out in our dogs to be what they have become. I can only imagine the terrors they'd have been if I didn't find Cesar's show & while they still are a work in progress I know it can only get better as time goes on. :o)" _________________________________
"These Chihuahuas, from left to right are Taco, age 6, Willie, age 4½, and Wolfie, age 5. Taco was a rescued puppy, a lucky addition to our family, we discovered that he shares a biological father with Wolfie. We took this picture in a rare moment when they were all subdued by the warm sun. Wolfie is definitely the pack leader and they are all very protective of each other and my husband and me. Their favorites include snuggling under blankets and lying in the sun. Willie spends most of his time suckling on his favorite stuffed dog. They reluctantly share their home with a 2½ year old female rescued pug named Tootsie Bootsie and 4 birds, Placido, Pavaroti, Fat Head, and Juan Valdez. They also enjoy trips to visit the grandparents and their pets, Louie a 1 year old Rat Terrier and the cats, Tigger, age 10, Cat King Cole, age 8, and Grace, age 6." _________________________________

Diva Starr is a delightful 4 pound Chihuahua. She has the best personality and gets along with everyone; human and canine. She is friendly, outgoing and funny. She is a ball of energy and scurries around like a little bunny. Diva can bark but she seldom does. Diva's only bad habit is that she is a chewer; she will chew on anything. My remedy... plenty of chew toys and snacks. She enjoys the "Blue" products; the food, the cookies and the snacks. She is delightful. I have not yet met a person that did not love her almost as much as I do. I'm sure you'll love her too. She'll make good commercials don't you think?

"This is Chi-Chi-Belle, she is a full blooded Creme and White Chihuahua. I am an advocate for the Chihauhua breed because I feel they don't get enough good recognition. I grew up with large breed dogs all my life.. then decided to get a smaller dog to suit my lifestyle....well Chi-Chi has been my saving grace. She is my heart and my happiness, I love the fact that I can take her for car rides and take her to various places she loves to explore. I was ignorant before I bought a Chihuahua thinking that a smaller dog would be less work, but it's not by any means. Chihuahua's have different needs than bigger dogs that I never encountered before. They can be infantile in their behaviour, she needs to be picked up alot to get onto furniture, in cars, which can be tricky when you have many groceries in the other hand too. I hate the steriotype of "Hollywood" or "not a real" dog. She has been every bit of a dog to me as my German Shepherd's were and her devotion to me me is unstoppable. Sometimes she is shy, she is weary of strangers, but so am I! BUT...let me tell you, when we go to the beach she's not aware of her size and is out there with the best of them in the ocean. She impresses the big dogs at the beach with her b-ball skills. She swims out into into the ocean after her ball with NO FEAR, people even formed a crowd around her once because she was the smallest thing on the beach with the most confidence. I call her my lil angel because she has helped me through some rough times." Chi-Chi-Belle, a full blooded Creme and White Chihuahua eying up those french fries.
