Is a chihuahua a good dog to have?

[Pinky]

Corgi's seem to be docile and easy to care for but I've never had one.

My daughter's corgi is feisty .. definitely not docile.

Good to know Pinky.

I remember this video from years ago regarding a Chihuahua that was friendly and sweet to all the neighbors,
BUT turned out to be a GREAT little brave watchdog when needed!

You have to click on "Youtube" to watch it.

My friend that has Bi-polar is taking care of this dog and driving her crazy. She says dog goes the bathroom all over the apartment and she has to clean it up because the owner which is her sister is at work. Dog is very friendly but she says dog is getting on her nerves.

My father had a Corgi. Loveable, happy personality, but the sheddingest dog ever. They should all come with new vacuum cleaners.

Chihuahuas are sweetie pies, but new owners should be aware that, generally speaking, the smaller the dog the harder it is to housebreak them. Fixed females in particular are prone to bladder problems. It took quite a while for my Dachshund to be able to hold it until she got outside.

I hadn't ever heard this, before. Thanks for posting it, so more people could at least inquire about it, and consider this factor, if they(potential owners) are limited in their own physical abilities.

I wonder what her sister usually does about it, when your friend is not there, Robert.

I wonder if puppy pee pads would help? Perhaps the dog needs to be taken out more regularly .. upon waking up, right after meals. How old is the dog?

She leaves it in a cage she says. The dog is a puppy.

Oh, for sure the little possessed demons are great dogs for an apartment.
My daughter has 3 of them. They are not my cup of tea but they are fiercely protective and loyal.
