Someone asked me today why I chose a chihuahua over any other breed of dog. I thought it would be an interesting topic (or not), so I thought I'd ask.
What is it about the Chihuahua breed in general that made you choose a chi for your pet? Are there any special qualities the breed has that made you choose your dog over another breed?
I'll start it off... I only had Chihuahuas in my house until I was 21 years old. After I moved out of my parents' house, I got 2 large dogs (a Rott and a Dobie), which I loved dearly but found that simple things like travel, $$ spent on food and supplies and the space they took up in my home made them a poor match for me and my lifestyle.
When I got Cooper, I decided on the Chihuahua breed after doing a lot of research on other small breed dogs. I didn't want a long haired dog and I didn't want an overly hyper dog, so I went back to my roots and got a Chi.
Things I love about Chihuahuas: they're portable (or "port-o-pooches" as my Dad calls them), they're intelligent and they all seem to have more personality per square inch than any other breed of dog.
