Izzy is a Long-Haired Chihuahua!
The Chihuahua is lively, graceful and small. It can have long or short hair. This saucy little dog desperately hates the cold and will seek warmth wherever it can find it. Its exercise needs can easily be met with indoor play. The short coat needs very little care, but the long coat needs frequent brushing. They may have any color of coat.
Chihuahuas become devoutly attached to their owner and may try to be protective. They’re not very good at it, but they try! They’re usually good with other pets and household members.
This tiny 6 pound dog has quite a history! It may have originated in China and been taken to South America centuries ago - (think ancient times and Aztecs!) - where it was used as a ceremonial dog. When they were conquered by the Spanish, they simply abandoned the dogs to fend for themselves. Fortunately, some survived and were discovered in Chihuahua, Mexico about the time of our Gold Rush.
We are pleased to welcome Izzy to our practice!
