General description:

Chihuahua's are perfect apartment companions. They are small and easy to care of.  Having an average lifespan of approximately 17 years, they make perfect companions for old aged people too. they can be almost any colour, from jet black to marble white. However they are not recommended around very young children.

Common observation:

The smaller the dog, the more unfriendly they are to younger children and the more intolerant they are to noise. The basic idea behind this is self-defense. They prefer avoiding others taking advantage of their small size due to which they tend to snarl, growl and sometimes even snap when they feel a stranger is too close to them or if children start to play with them by pulling their hair or squeezing their muzzle.
