The Chihuahua is a loyal, energetic, and affectionate breed that loves being close to its humans. Small but confident, they make great travel companions and family pets. Despite their size, they need daily walks and playtime to stay healthy and calm. Chihuahuas can be feisty and bark when nervous. Their grooming needs are minimal, but daily dental care is essential to keep them healthy.
