What to Expect From a Chihuahua Puppy

If you're thinking of getting a Chihuahua puppy, it's a good idea to know what to expect. These little dogs are very cuddly and love to snuggle with their owners. It's not uncommon to find one curled up under your blanket or in a corner. A Chihuahua puppy may also enjoy sunbathing.

Chihuahuas are a small breed of dog, only five to eight inches long and weighing about six pounds. They have an apple-shaped head and large, orb-like eyes. These cute little dogs can come in a variety of colors and come in smooth, long, or wavy coats.

Chihuahuas have huge personalities and need a lot of attention and love. However, you'll also have to be patient with them, as they can be shy and wary of unfamiliar objects and people. For this reason, it's important to socialise them at an early age. Chihuahuas need to be with you all the time, and if left alone for short periods of time, they can develop separation anxiety.

Chihuahua puppies grow very quickly, and they typically double in size in the first few weeks of their life. They should reach their full adult height and weight by nine months. If they aren't growing as expected, you might be overfeeding them or there are other health problems preventing them from growing in size. If this is the case, you should consult a veterinarian. Otherwise, the Chihuahua should continue to fill out to their full adult size.
