I seem to own a so-called “deer chihuahua”, and her face looks more like a minipin’s. Would it be possible that, long time ago, “deer chihuahuas” could have originated from a mix between a minipin and a chihuahua, and people simply categorize them only within the chihuahua beed as a pure breed instead of a hybrid?

My chihuahuas’ toys never last! We get them toys like ropes and loofa dogs, but an hour or two later, these brand new toys’ stuffing is all over the place! I tried giving them rubber toys, but they take no interest to them.

Is there a toy out there that would last long through constant chewing and abuse, but is also soft and “indistructable”?

Do chihuahuas make good apartment pets? I have been wanting to get a small dog, one that isn’t too expensive.

I am getting a chihuahua puppy maybe after vacation [and I'm raising my grades, and earning money for one] , from a rescue or good breeder. [I've done my homework!!] I’m not stupid and I love all dogs, [I have a mutt, but he is a good as a purebred]

Now I’d like to dress it up in a cute tee or hoodie once in a while. Not shoes and whole outfits, but something comfy and warm. Do you think this is ok? I want a tee for my medium sized dog, but they don’t sell big shirts. Plus chihuahuas can get cold sometimes. Thanks!
And some names would be cute. My other dog’s name is Chips. [Already mentioned before: Salsa, Dip, Cream.. basically food. lol. But give any suggestions!]
I live in Florida, but believe it or not, it rains a lot, and sometimes it gets so cold people wear more than 2 layers of coats and clothes. Hoodies aren’ t that bad.. I’m not actually gonna put the hat part on the head.
How does it humiliate the dog. Actually many dogs LOVE wearing something, and begin strutting their stuff. They are not wild anymore, but domesticated. What if you were cold but weren’t allowed to wear a jacket?
Or freezing. I dont have a heater, our house gets too warm by itself, it traps heat.. Dogs are used to wearing collars, why not shirts?
Sorry I keep adding details.. No I won’t take it in a doggy bag, unless we have to take it on vacation with us, or something of that sort. He/she won’t go to the mall, just the doggy park, walks, maybe petsmart, and if we need to, obedience training.I think I want salsa as the name..

I wanna take my chihuahua in my pool this summer but I’m not sure if she will be able to swim. She doesn’t really like her baths, she shakes through the entire bath and she shake when she hears water. Would it be a bad idea to take her swimming or would she probably learn to like it?
Thank you all for the tips, I think I will buy a life jacket for her first time just to get her used to it, and I know I would NEVER leave her unattended!

We currently have a shih tzu/bichon frise mix, and we’re looking at getting him a playmate toward the end of the year when we move from an apartment to a house. We’ve encountered a couple of chihuahuas lately and rather like the little guys, but I’d love to hear from people who have owned them and have more experience with the breed. I know socialization at a young age makes a big difference as to whether they tolerate other dogs and humans later in life.
