I was the same way! I always hated them, called them yappy dogs, then my cousin got Sancho's brother, and I fell in love. Then comes the kicker: "Well, they have a runt nobody wants, do you think you could take him?" Best (and really, easiest!) decision I ever made!

I've never had a dog that loved me the way a chihuahua does. They look up at you with big adoring eyes, and they are so smart! Isabel has like a hundred word vocabulary.

I agree, you can't treat them like eternal puppies the way some people do, makes for a VERY bad dog!

OMG, please post the "breading" picture here! ROFLMAO

They make damn fine alarm systems too! I swear they can hear for miles.

I have two... they mean so much to me. I have pictures of them on my facebook... I LOVE my girls. Mocha is chocolate with a white spot on her chest and she sports a mohawk and her sister Darla looks like a jersey cow. She is white with BIG chocolate spots...

As requested...here is Killer the Breaded Chihuahua.

The breading craze is over, but the memories live on! And since cats were the intended target of the breading phase, I cut cat ears into the bread. To add to the absurdity, I had actually *baked* the bread that morning...lol.

Killer was very confused by the whole process of positioning food on his face, but in the end, he behaved like the top model that he is- anything to get that perfect shot.

I was asked to bring this over here lol i didn't know we had a chi thread !

this is Bear she is 6 1/2 years of age I rescued her at 3 weeks old, she is most certainly my little Butch, she hikes her leg and pees on trees, tops every other dog she can and her best friend is a Great Pyrenees.

this is her at a couple of months, I bottle fed her and often time she nursed my neck because she was taken from her momma at 3 weeks...I wasnt sure she would make it however was more than happy to pay the guy i got her from just to save her life.

this is her as of yesterday with her best friend

and then lol this always cracks me up when they are together

My pup isn't yappy either and she doesn't shiver like others i have seen...I think its all in how a pup is raised.

thedivahrrrself · 04-23-2012, 11:43 AM

Isn't this thread fun? I love your baby. Isabel was a big Top too. She pees with one leg up and is the bossiest 5 pounds of flesh I've ever seen!

My cousin went to visit my ex (I know, traitor...), and he said they took Isabel to the bar with them. The bartender gave her a little piece of cheese, and after that she went back to the bar and barked to order more cheese. LOL She got her cheese, over and over again.

My boy Newton pees like a girl. Maybe I am just great at picking out transgender chihuahuas LOL My Sancho was all man, though, all about bravado and marking his territory... And very protective, I had a roommate who started dating a guy I worked with. The first time he ever put his arm around her, Sancho growled and snarled at him. He looked pretty intimidated!
