The cost of a Chihuahua varies widely, ranging from $1,500 to $3,000, depending on the breeder and pedigree. The cost goes up for teacup or show quality dogs.
Chihuahuas make for excellent house dogs as they are excellent companions, have a great love for their owner and are quite protective. Their small size also benefits apartment living.
While Chihuahuas are low maintenance in terms of grooming, they need off-leash play and mental stimulation for their active minds. Each Chihuahua is a character in their own right, requiring dedicated patience.
A 'Teacup Chihuahua' is not an official breed but references to Chihuahuas smaller than the breed standard, weighing less than 5lb. They are usually more susceptible to health problems because of their small size.
The average lifespan of a Chihuahua is 14-16 years, although many live well past that with good care.
Some potential downsides of owning a Chihuahua include their tendency to be aggressive, especially with strangers, potential health problems, and needing a lot of attention and mental stimulation.
