Care Tips:
If you're thinking of getting a chihuahua for a pet, you must follow these notes:
1. Don't leave the Chihuahua in a small room or place, they like to run around so it's wrong to get her cooped in the kitchen or closet.
2. Because Chihuahuas are really small, you have to be careful not to step on its tiny feet; they are very sensitive.
3. Chihuahuas are sensitive to the elements, that is to heat and cold. When it gets too cold, you should put lots of warm material like blankets in her house. It's also nice if you hug him/her, the chihuahua's body is very warm. However, when it gets too hot, you should have water for drinking and if you have an aircon, maybe you should turn it on, but not too cold.
4. Since Chihuahuas love to exercise, they can become exhausted. You should always have a bowl of water ready in you house. And also keep an eye on the Chihuahua.
