Publisher's Note
With their apple heads, big round eyes, large pointy ears, saucy expressions, and feisty dispositions, Chihuahuas are one of the most beloved breeds of toy dogs in the world. But these frisky little buggers aren't for everyone. Consummate lap dogs, they thrive on attention and constant contact with their owners, and are miserable when left alone. As pups they're extremely fragile, although they do outlive bigger breeds by many years. Housebreaking can be a problem with Chihuahuas, but on the other hand, they're very smart, love performing tricks and they never forget what they learn. Some have a tendency to shyness, but a well-socialized Chihuahua can be every bit as bold as a pit bull.

Is this plucky little pooch the right dog for you and your family? Chihuahuas For Dummies provides the answer to this and all your questions about getting, caring for and living with this loveable breed. Award-winning breeder, trainer, author and long-time Chihuahua lover, Jacqueline O'Neil Beauchamp gets you up and running with what you need to know to:

  • Find and communicate with reputable breeders
  • Choose the right Chihuahua for you
  • Housebreak and socialize your new puppy
  • Educate yourself and your dog
  • Handle behavioral problems
  • Participate in competitions

In friendly, down-to-earth language, Jacqueline provides insights into the Chihuahua temperament and loads of sensible, easy-to-follow advice, along with fun facts and Chihuahua trivia. Discover how to:

  • Decide on whether a male or female is right for you
  • Find and choose your new friend and bring him or her home
  • Understand how to communicate with your Chihuahua
  • Train your little peanut
  • Find a good trainer and attend classes
  • Deal with emotional conflicts
  • Feed and exercise your little amigo
  • Recognize, prevent and treat common health problems
  • Have loyal friend for life

The indispensable guide for you and your Chihuahua, Chihuahuas For Dummies is the only book you'll need to help you have the best possible experience with this saucy and affectionate breed of dog.

    This book is all inclusive! It tells you what to look for and expect from a reputable breeder, and the red flags to be wary of from the not-so-good breeders (puppy mills). It talks about the proper diet, exercise requirements and options, and the breed standard. Everything you wanted to know about chihuahuas and more, conveniently put into one book! I highly recommend this book not just for people looking to get their first chihuahua, but to experienced chi owners as well!
