1. Sweet baby.

We have a chihuahua we got from a shelter. She exhibited similar traits (shaking, cowering in her crate). They suspect she was abused in her past circumstances.

It took her just a few days to become the sweetest, most open, loving little thing on the planet. I never imagined chihuahuas being my breed of dog, and now I'm obsessed.

5. I've had different breeds: Cocker Spaniel & Chihuahua as a child, Afghan Hound as an adult.

I love all breeds. I have 4 cats now, because I can't walk much, but I have close relationships with all my friend's dogs--all different breeds.

6. They tend to be slower than most breeds to bond, but extremely loyal

We got one from my mother in law. She kept the dog and her littermate as outdoor dogs. They kept running away and one day the other dog disappeared. Our dog was miserable all alone, so we volunteered to take her. We kept her indoors. She was a good pet. She frequently cowered and shook, but don't believe she did so in her crate.

3. There is a family of good Democrats

in my precinct who do chihuahua rescues. I go over there often to place signs and get signatures on petitions. I am always greeted by five or so boisterous barking doggies.
